    Would buy 7 if I had money to spare

  • hamwhisperer on 02/12/2014 - 13:21

    I'm normally pretty big on Samsung but that seems a pretty tip top price right?

    Bought the 480! Thanks for the deal OP. Been waiting for a large capacity deal like this and free shipping :) finally can upgrade my c: from 120gb to 480gb and have space to install more games on the SSD.

  • ironpaw on 02/12/2014 - 13:26

    Got one thanks!

    still skeptical about the TLC ultra ii uses for durability, rather buy one that uses MLC.

  • Lief on 02/12/2014 - 13:30

    God dammit I've already spent too much this month.
    Don't do this to me man

    • nismo on 02/12/2014 - 13:37

      This month? It's only the 2nd of the Month lol!

          Got 99 problems but too many sales ain't one.

  • quickling on 02/12/2014 - 13:34

    Is it cheaper to use Amex and save $6 shipping, or a 28 degrees mastercard?

    • rhyme324 on 02/12/2014 - 13:40

      Amex 3%. For this deal Amex is $1ish cheaper?

  • O15 on 02/12/2014 - 13:34

    This probably wouldn't be good to use as a HTPC Boot drive, if it'll have 400GB+ data written to it each month?

  • team teri on 02/12/2014 - 13:44

    Headline is wrong. You can't get it for AUD 188 delivered. Either you use Amex and are slugged 3% in exchange fees or, if paying with 28 degrees, you pay for shipping. Similar outcome in either case at least AUD 194.

  • goobar on 02/12/2014 - 13:52

    Damn could not resist buying the 240GB one!

  • lancedefrance on 02/12/2014 - 14:00

    I just purchased the 240 crucial drive last night. Is it worth asking Amazon to cancel the order and get this one instead? is Sandisk better than crucial?

    • nismo on 02/12/2014 - 14:03

      You don't have much time, this lightning deal is now 41% gone. I'd say it will be sold out in 30 mins… Maybe an hour if you're lucky

    • Bob81 on 02/12/2014 - 14:07

      Buy this one now then cancel the other order after?

    • RtN on 02/12/2014 - 14:43

      this sandisk uses TLC, the crucial uses MLC. I chose the Crucial, don't want to lose no data down the track.

    how does this compare to Samsung evo or pro?

  • darkmattersunB6c0MV on 02/12/2014 - 14:23

    Can I use it to upgrade Surface Pro 2?
    Thanks!

    • giventofly on 02/12/2014 - 14:26

      No, you'll need something much smaller like an mSATA drive.

      I'm not saying it's possible, but not too sure if you can upgrade Surface Pros. I thought they were quite hard to do?

    • iridiumstem on 02/12/2014 - 14:35

      You can't upgrade Surface Pros. They glued everything up.

      EDIT: Sorry, I thought it was like Pro 1. Apparently, SSD is removable, it's just that it looks like a nightmare just trying to open the tablet up.

      you'll need to heat gun the front glass off, high risk of destroying the touch screen ribbon off and totally destroying touch functions. The ssd inside is in msata form.

    you can now also get Samsung evo 250gb for all time low $99 usd.

    http://camelcamelcamel.com/Samsung-250GB-2-5-Inch-Internal-M…

    they are similar, evo gives you more capacity.

  • x d on 02/12/2014 - 14:43

    Thanks OP. Managed to get the 240. Seems to be more popular as it is now sold out.

  • lolcoaster on 02/12/2014 - 14:48

    Low AUD is painful. Only $30 cheaper than the regular price from MSY :(

    wow these ssd drives are going like hot cakes.

    A few months ago I was like, "I might buy an SSD Drive".

    Decided to wait until I got around to it.

    4 months later, prices dropped $50.

    Man I love being rewarded for being lazy.

    <3 Technology.

      Procrastination is the key to flexibility.. and a good clearance deal.

  • tehoriginal on 02/12/2014 - 15:17

    Just got one - worked out to be $200 Australian

  • ChickenAdobo on 02/12/2014 - 15:18

    Can't wait when SSD will eventually cost the same as today HDD price. This is just another baby step forward for SSD pricing.

    • ironpaw on 02/12/2014 - 16:07

      Might be waiting for a while to see a 5TB SSD @ $129 USD….

      • krisspy on 02/12/2014 - 17:38

        i wonder how dense platters will be by then

  • PeterGrejoy on 02/12/2014 - 15:19

    Got a 480G and a 240G, same cost for delivery 5.x USD, feeling better

  • congo on 02/12/2014 - 15:54

    save about $30 for this one.. pity it isn't Extreme Pro…

  • Rohlan on 02/12/2014 - 16:04

    So I tried to purchase the 240GB version, the item's page said the deal ended but the Lightning Deals page said it was 67% claimed with 4 hours remaining, it would not let you add one to the cart though. I contacted Amazon through their customer service chat and was informed that the deal had indeed expired, but I was given a $15 credit to my account to help me purchase one. I used the credit on the $99 250GB 840 EVO though, as the SanDisk price jumped to $102 and wouldn't deliver to Oz.
    I really like Amazon.

  • tehoriginal on 02/12/2014 - 17:03

    Looks like I'm going to be building that new computer after all…

    This is the first part I've bought - so many options, SO MUCH FEEDBACK NEEDED:

    A- MicroATX beast
    B- Modified MacBook Pro

    • adre on 02/12/2014 - 17:22

      Not too sure whether this is MAC friendly. But if not u can go option A.

    • krisspy on 02/12/2014 - 17:40

      C - Micro atx hackintosh

      • tehoriginal on 03/12/2014 - 12:06

        How well do these run should I want to use boot camp and run windows for gaming ?

        • krisspy on 03/12/2014 - 14:03

          gtx970 on yosimite well

  • bb20 on 02/12/2014 - 17:06

    Also 960Gb for USD $319, is it cheap?

    • adre on 02/12/2014 - 17:21

      Its pretty easy to calculate the value of the SSD.

      Just a guideline without considering the performance and delivery fee,

      for example in this deal - $160 for 480GB = $0.33 per GB

      Avg, is about $0.45 - $0.50 per GB for SSD in the 480 - 512 GB class SSD.

      In the 950 - 1 TB range, you should look around $0.40 - $0.48 per GB

      Hope this clarifies your doubt.

    Ye for the $30 saving I will stick with my 240gb ssd for now.
