  Damn that's tempting to put in the new ultrabook that work just gave me.

    +1

    Make sure it's compatible, a lot of ultrabooks have mSATA SSDs rather than the normal 2.5" SATA SSD. You'd want to be sure it is compatible first!

      First thing I do when I get new stuff is to crack it open!

  Seems the new norm for 480GB is <$200

    Well … there is no norm, just constant price drops ;)

    Evo's are better but if you can get a Sandisk Ultra 2 960gb for under $270 like this previous deal (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/227558) its a better buy

    for this price it's not

  Sorry to be a little lazy, but of top of someone's head, doss anyone know if I can buy this and fit into my 2012 iMac 27"? I haven't been in a market for hardware forever now, and I believe some HDD model can be incompatible to some?

    its a tough question as not many people, i believe, even open iMacs.
    as far as i know imacs have had problems with sandforce ssd controllers.
    ive used a variety of ssds with imac but only up to 2011.

    have used samsung evos and Kingston HyperX with no issues.

    btw. if u can put a SSD and a normal HDD into your iMac you can create fusion drive with software already on your mac, just google creating a fusion drive.
    ive got this currently with a HyperX and 1.5TB WD Green, so a 1.62TB fusion drive.

      Sweet, thanks heaps for the info.

      Another rather noob question if I may. Is iMac using eSATA 2 HDD or something like that? If not what "type" of HDD should I choose for it? Sorry….. I haven't been following all these since I was out of uni…..

        Two options ,
        Thunderbolt and USB.

        If you have a slim iMac you'd probably want a professional openng it up.
