    Damn it.

      Agreed. I just pulled the trigger on the Sandisk deal. Bah humbug.

      • brett-au on 03/12/2013 - 12:20

        Pardon my ignorance, but is the sandisk 256gb the same size as this one (240gb) and just the difference between powers of 2 and powers of 10?

        • kudoz on 03/12/2013 - 12:32

          From what I recall 240gb is the formatted capacity of the Sandisk anyway… Crucial choose to use the formatted size as the advertised size (good on them!)

          Crucial choose to use the formatted size as the advertised size (good on them!)

          Wishful thinking unfortunately no that's not what they're doing. Formatted capacity will be around 222GB

        • coxymla on 03/12/2013 - 15:04

          256GB includes the extra space needed to reprovision any sectors of Flash RAM that fail.
          So 256GB "total" == 240GB "usable" == 222GB formatted

        I almost got through these sales :(

  • Usemame on 03/12/2013 - 12:16

    it was 120gb at this price like a year ago.. when i bought it

    • davidl2 on 03/12/2013 - 12:21

      m500 been around this long?

      • foobar on 03/12/2013 - 12:24

        Nah would have been an M4 back then, M500 is fairly new.

    • chnach on 03/12/2013 - 12:51

      And the price will keep falling until it reaches current HDD prices

      • chipstss on 03/12/2013 - 13:11

        And then shoot back up again for whatever reason

        • furythree on 03/12/2013 - 13:39

          the ssd and hdd companies will shift some tectonic plates or blow up a levy to damage a factory and jack up prices

  • tanksinatra on 03/12/2013 - 12:28

    Also cheap here: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/937919-REG/crucial_ct2…

    Dunno about shipping costs though

    • kudoz on 03/12/2013 - 12:38

      Shipping kills that one… approx $30 or more :( Shame because they let you buy multiples…

  • sarakoth on 03/12/2013 - 12:33

    Shipping was $16 to Perth BTW.

  • kapone on 03/12/2013 - 12:34

    So tempting, but my Steam folder is 200GB alone. Can't see that this is going to cut it. Need a 320GB for ~$200 and I'll be all over it

    • jackau on 03/12/2013 - 12:47

      You got a notebook.??
      You can use your old hard drive in the odd bay and use os in the ssd, it makes the differences.

      • kapone on 03/12/2013 - 13:44

        Yep, got a laptop (Dell XPS 15).f

        However my son put an SD card in the optical drive, so I've gone 6 months without using it. Perhaps I should look at a kit for putting the old HDD in the optical bay?

        • jackau on 03/12/2013 - 13:50

          Yes, that's what I have done to all intel based notebooks I have got, I did find selected amd systems can't do it with odd bay extension.

          The cost for these upgrade are :
          169 for ssd
          12 for odd bay
          79 for windows 8/8.1

    • nakata on 03/12/2013 - 12:57

      You can try steam mover. It lets you move your unused games to another hdd.

      http://www.traynier.com/software/steammover

    • Caped Baldy on 03/12/2013 - 13:00

      change the setting to a secondary hard drive
      then just move the folders and steam will figure it out when you try launching it.
      That being said valve games have to be in the same hard drive as the actual application (last time I checked)

  • Farrba on 03/12/2013 - 12:40

    will the adapter fit on ps3 or ps4?

    • MATTDAMON on 03/12/2013 - 12:43

      Yes this drive will fit in both the PS3/PS4, it should come with a stick on adaptor which will increase the drives size to 9.5mm, the PS4 will happily accept 7mm drives as well.

      Anyways you can also get the 960gb M500 for 434USD + shipping as well http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BQ8RGL6

    • diddy50 on 03/12/2013 - 12:45

      question should be - will this make a difference in either of those systems?

      • MATTDAMON on 03/12/2013 - 12:58

        Yeah, especially for boot and load times if the game is on the drive itself, there are reviews from different drives inc the stock one that you will be able to look up

  • coolrunnings on 03/12/2013 - 12:43

    What will it come to in AUD including shipping - can anyone say?

    • J4MMI3 on 03/12/2013 - 12:51

      Came up as AUD162.87 shipped to Sydney for me. Shipping is AUD9.15

  • jackau on 03/12/2013 - 12:48

    The write rate for m500 is only 250mb a sec which is at the old 840 level not the evo level.

    Came up as AUD162.87 shipped to Sydney for me. Shipping is AUD9.15. Thanks OP!

    • davidl2 on 03/12/2013 - 13:07

      a cheapest local m500 240GB should be around AUD $200 shipped/pickup,
      so it's about $40+/- saving compares to local stocks(with local warranty)

      still not enough to make me jump on the ship! (cmon, I'm OzBargainer! :-P)
      bring it down to USD$129.99 & maybe I'll bite it!

      • J4MMI3 on 03/12/2013 - 13:12

        bow to the true OzBargainer :) I already ordered

        • davidl2 on 03/12/2013 - 13:20

          rumors is Ram/SSD price is going up, so maybe you made the right decision
          I only need some extra drives so I could wait..or don't buy it at all! :-P

  • Farrba on 03/12/2013 - 12:56

    why is this more expensive?

    • davidl2 on 03/12/2013 - 13:04

      because they are different brand, the one in your link is Intel (and Reseller Kit)

  • czking on 03/12/2013 - 13:23

    got one thanks

  • aerona on 03/12/2013 - 13:36

    Still waiting for intel SSD's to hit 50c per GB, that will be my time to get my first SSD. Made this commitment last year.

    • jackau on 03/12/2013 - 13:43

      For the performance gain you will get even with this drive, I said the 16x price point is worth it.
      I been using ssd since feb and I never go back.

    • coolrunnings on 03/12/2013 - 13:59

      I was also waiting… but my laptop isn't getting any younger.
      I figured my time is worth money, and so I bought it at this price.

      • foobar on 03/12/2013 - 14:09

        Literally the best thing you could do for an aging lappy that you want to keep, the difference can be staggering.

  • dzhay on 03/12/2013 - 13:42

    Pulled the trigger. Half regret not getting the 500gb toshiba deal.

  • kapone on 03/12/2013 - 13:55

    Before I pull the trigger, how does it stack up against this Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R67FTY/ref=amb_link_396…?

    Speeds seem much higher on this guy.

  • jinxor on 03/12/2013 - 14:34

    Just bought one as well.

    Impulse buy… how I hate thee!

  • PresidentClinton on 20/12/2013 - 18:14

    Anyone got theirs yet?

    • sarakoth on 20/12/2013 - 21:56

      Arrived in the post today for me.
