Starts Monday
MSY Deal of the day (24/8 - 25/8)
Purchase Sandisk SSD Plus 120GB + Sandisk Ultra microSD 32GB for $68 total.

Available instore and online [shipping charges may apply, better to purchase online and pick it up from a store near you].

Just got this in an email. A few people have been looking for SSDs and microSD cards lately. This should be good for those who are looking to purchase both together.

This SSD sold for $59.50 in a deal from earlier this week.

The Sandisk Ultra microSD 32GB card can be had for about $19 shipped via eBay.

The two together in a bundle present a good bargain and offer a saving of at least $10 (e.g. for those who would have purchased the SSD via previous deal and then would have bought the memory card off eBay for a total amount of $59.50 + $18.95 = $78.45).

    Damn it. I wish they would do a deal with a 250 GB SSD.

      Looks like they did it earlier this month :(

          was $115 last week for the 240gb plus sd card

          If on android, get a little app called OzBargain Notify (dunno if it or similar exists on iPhone) - miss out on future bargains you won't.

        I tried to get this last time and MSY Canberra did the bait and switch on me - said they had no sdcards and dropped the ssd price a little - but not enough.

      I wish there was a deal on a 500 GB SSD. I've completely filled my 240GB SSD just with Windows 10 and games. Sadly a 240/250GB SSD is too small now for a serious gamer that games are at least 25GB each now (Battlefield 4 Premium Edition for example).

      • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2015 - 18:02

        I have filled two of my 500GB SSDs. I feel your pain.
        I need a 2 TB SSD.

        The 250GB is for a family member.

        • Cheap Rich Guy on 24/08/2015 - 01:00

          Unfortunately, around $1050 right now for a Samsung 2TB EVO SSD.

        Is it really that necessary to put games on an SSD?

        • TheOneWhoKnocks on 23/08/2015 - 18:09

          I would like to know this too.

        • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2015 - 18:14

          Yes! Games on an SSD makes the world of a difference in terms of loading times. I will never play a game on a HDD again. It has been about 5 years since I last played a game on a HDD on my personal computer.

          Battlefield 4, World of Warcraft, GTA V, CS:GO, TF2 have ridiculously fast load times on my SSD.

          A recent SSD and at LEAST 8GB of RAM. I think 8GB of RAM will become obselete very soon when people learn to multitask better using Windows 10 and Direct X 12 games come out.

          I've found that it's not necessary at all. All you're getting is a couple of seconds shaved off the loading time. There's absolutely no difference as far as in game performance and there have been tests to prove this.

        • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2015 - 18:19

          @donnot:

          Of course there's no increase in performance. This was dealt with 5 years ago. Usually on tech. forums I don't need to explain myself entirely, so my bad. I am talking about loading times.
          I don't know why you think it's not necessary, especially when SSDs are so cheap. Reducing load times drastically makes a difference to my gaming experience. I bet you have your games on your SSD.
          I feel sorry for anyone who has to install GTA V or Call of Duty on a mechanical HDD.

          I think if you use an i3 with a mid range card then, of you have spare cash placing it on a new GPU will give you a better gaming experience.

          I wouldn't get a PC without an SSD now, increasing CPU speeds has negligible performance while an SSD boots computer faster, less noise, games will load faster and levels load times will decreased. I'm willing to bet some games have less obvious pop ins due to increased speeds by SSDs.

          They aren't that expensive, go for it

        • mr kindface on 23/08/2015 - 18:58

          If you're going to have an SSD, you may as well get one big enough to put all your programs and games on

        • iridiumstem on 23/08/2015 - 19:13

          Depends on games. I think Civ 5 loaded so much faster after the SSD upgrade.

          @tendollar:

          I can justify a small SSD (~240GB) to store maybe 2-3 of the main games you'll be playing along the OS and programs, but if you've got a library larger than that, a 2TB+ HDD will suffice (my seagate pushes 200MB/s for sequential reads, and the majority of game files are quite large).

          @donnot:

          Oh, most of my SSDs are not filled with games.
          Work stuff and big data.
          I agree with what you have said. I doubt anyone plays 500 GB worth of games. Most people stick to a few at a time.

        • hollykryten on 23/08/2015 - 21:41

          If you want very fast game level loading, yes.

        • hollykryten on 23/08/2015 - 21:44

          @donnot:

          It's not just about sequential reads but latency time which SSD is extremely fast at. SSD has almost immediate access to files and also a lot of data bandwidth. Hard drives can never reach any where near the performance of an SSD.

        • donnot on 23/08/2015 - 22:09

          @hollykryten:

          Of course, but I'm talking in a game situation where files are loaded in the loading screen (directly to RAM and VRAM), and latency doesn't really have an effect. Yes, an SSD will still be faster loading games but not massively, gameplay won't be affected. Raw speed is more useful than latency when loading large level files.

        • Jamie 007 on 24/08/2015 - 00:05

          Nah, loading times are becoming a thing of the past. Games like GTA V and The Witcher 3 have one loading screen at the start and the only other time you'll see one is when you die, and with a 7200rpm HDD the times are minimal. Other games are hiding them behind story scenes. Not worth it imo with games now being up to 60gb.

          I think with certain online games having fast loading times can give you a competitive advantage as you get into the map quicker

        • dqtl74 on 24/08/2015 - 09:58

          I usually put most frequently played games and open world games on my SSD. Things like FPS or older games don't really matter too much. Old games load plenty fast anyway.

          Games like Witcher and GTA the loading time saved and pop in reduced makes a drastic difference to gameplay.

        • dexx on 24/08/2015 - 17:33

          @tendollar:
          Yep. Put the games you are currently playing on SSD and keep the rest of your library on archive disks.

    • hollykryten on 24/08/2015 - 13:05

    (i'd just upgrade old laptops with this, give them a second life)- and as TA has shown you never have enough µsd cards

    Why not put games on SSD, some games do have loading times that are a bit quicker. I just don't store files such as videos on the ssd. Not sure how many games you have but 500gb ssd is more than enough for me

    The "deal" link isn't going to this deal now. Searched on their site and now looks to be $68 for just the drive. Am I doing something wrong?

    • OrbDaggerZ on 24/08/2015 - 12:30

      I was wondering that to, thanks for the tip.

    Okay, I've got it. You add the SSD to your cart and the SD card is added as well with 0 price.

  • zerocents on 24/08/2015 - 10:46

    Just bought the SSD on it's own for the same price. There's always a bigger fish…
