      You know it's a good deal when the 240 gb is cheaper than the 120.

      • chonghe on 01/12/2014 - 23:21

        This.
        120GB 79.24
        240GB 72.99
        Couldn't believe it!!

  • Skramit on 01/12/2014 - 22:14

    Wow nice deal!!

    If anyones after a larger sized SSD than 240/256 like me…..I'm after a 512 sized drive and found the MX100 is $190 USD at Amazon with free shipping.

    http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX100-adapter-Internal-CT512MX…

    AUD $223 approx. Cheapest in country is $265 on staticice.

    • Nousernamehere on 01/12/2014 - 23:23

      Only free shipping if you use the Amex deal. The free shipping it claims doesn't apply to Australia otherwise.

      In saying that, shipping is only $5.65US.

      • Skramit on 01/12/2014 - 23:28

        It says free shipping for me in my cart. shrug

        • Nousernamehere on 01/12/2014 - 23:34

          Yes I know, it says it to everyone.

          Go to edit your cart, the on the right hand side click the 'estimate your shipping and tax' and it will show up the actual postage costs.

        • Skramit on 01/12/2014 - 23:38

          Nope. There's an Amazon global promo for free shipping. In the cart it has shipping 5.65 but next line item is the promo -5.65.

          Woot!

        • Nousernamehere on 02/12/2014 - 00:12

          @Skramit: the only promo is if you have an Amex card and spend over $100.

          From Amazon's website

          Why didn't I qualify for free shipping?

      buy 2 m500s and raid 0 them

  • sirs2k on 01/12/2014 - 22:25

    Which model is better, m500 or mx100

    The Samsung evo 500gb is around 230aud. How does that compare to the mx100 512?

    • butter on 01/12/2014 - 22:28
      +1

      Mx100 is newer but performance is comparable. The mx100 has 256GB as opposed to 240 on this. I picked up the 256GB mx100 for $106 delivered during the past 20% eBay deal.

      I think mine was a better deal but this is pretty cheap as well!

      MX100 http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/807?vs=1221

      Shortly put, the MX100's task is to replace the M500 and it does that brilliantly. While the MX100's main goal is to lower the price by using smaller lithography NAND, it also provides a minor increase in performance over the M500 and offers the same industry-leading set of features.

      http://www.anandtech.com/show/8066/crucial-mx100-256gb-512gb…

      As to evo vs mx100, click the bench link and swap them over.

  • bctransit on 01/12/2014 - 22:25

    thx, grabbed 2 for around AU$180 delivered :)

    • maxall on 01/12/2014 - 22:34

      include all the CC fee, conversion fee? How is warranty for Amazon purchase? attempt to…but never buy from Amazon.

      • standogg on 01/12/2014 - 22:47

        Amazon warranty is generally pretty good. My girlfriend got me a graphics card for Christmas last year from Amazon and after 3 months it went screwy from a manufacturing defect. We contacted amazon and they had us send it back to them at our cost (which they refunded on receiving the card) and gave us a full refund including the original shipping costs.

        • maxall on 01/12/2014 - 22:49

          Thanks.

    Can someone tell me if I need an adaptor to install this in a desktop computer? does it take normal SATA and power cables? or does it need any adaptors thanks.

    • Utopian on 01/12/2014 - 23:05

      Standard SATA power/data connections.

      But, due to SSDs being the size of laptops drives (2.5") it won't mount "normally". Some come with a holder/adaptor to 3.5"… but even 2 screws in one side is enough (they weigh like 2 AA batteries), unless you plan on taking it offroad racing.

  • CyberMurning on 01/12/2014 - 22:58

    Can I just swap my Acer core duo laptop harddisk with this or I need some kind of case or caddy? Also the cables (power and connector) are the same?

    • maxall on 01/12/2014 - 23:08

      if 2.5 Hdd, YES
      If 1.8 Hdd, No
      Ask google, if not sure the spec of laptop.

    • Utopian on 01/12/2014 - 23:09

      Laptop HDD, direct swap, any make/model.

      Maxall brings-up points that are true, but RARE. Better to check though, that your lappy has a 2.5" drive. You can find its model code in MyComputer.

  • Mattapie on 01/12/2014 - 23:01

    You can see in the picture it has standard SATA connectors.

    How is this model compare to Samsung Evo ?

  • sirs2k on 01/12/2014 - 23:13

    Thanks sabaramo

    The Samsung evo 500gb is around 230aud. How does that compare to the mx100 512?

    • Merlict on 01/12/2014 - 23:45

      Slightly faster, but not much in it. The Samsung should come with a free copy of Far Cry 4 which is nice.

    Are these good for MacBook Pros ? WIll be updating for the first time

    • scrimshaw on 02/12/2014 - 01:17

      Best to check on Google first to see if your Mac model can support SSD upgrades before you buy..

    • brg on 02/12/2014 - 01:38

      I recently bought (Samsung 840 Evo Series 250GB $135) from centre com for MacBook Pro; . It's super fast.

    don't forget to start from ebates.com for a further 8% off.. unsure if computer hardware qualify, but it's worth a try

    If anyone needs RAM Crucial(Amazon) have their 8GB-1600-CL9 kit for US$63.99, and only 50c extra postage if bought with an SSD.

  • MtlOz on 02/12/2014 - 02:00

    Any one else seeing this for the 240GB?
    Sequential Read: 500 MB/s | Sequential Write: 50 MB/s | 4KB Random Read: 72,000 IOPS

    50MB/s??? Hope it's a typo

    • krisspy on 02/12/2014 - 02:37

      Seq write should be 250MB/s

    If you've got an AMEX card there's free Amazon shipping for orders over $100 USD.

    bought 1 got free standard shipping, Awesome price!

  • lostn on 02/12/2014 - 05:04

    I had problems with this on my Haswell system. It appears to be a known issue with the M500. I'm going to avoid Crucial from now on, to be safe. Still, a good price if you aren't affected by it.

    • furythree on 02/12/2014 - 05:45

      tell me more?
      i just bought 2
      did you update the firmware? thought that was meant to fix any sleep issues and compatibility issues?

      • lostn on 03/12/2014 - 03:17

        It BSODs a lot on Haswell systems. The controller has incompatibility issues.

        It's possible they've been fixed with firmware updates, I don't know. I ditched the drive for an EVO which had no problems. Much more reliable.

  • RadioBirdman on 02/12/2014 - 05:28

        • IslandStyle on 18/12/2014 - 22:55

          @mauricem: I was thinking about moving to there. With Amazon not shipping to there it might be a deal breaker.
