Great price for this 2TB SSD, the lowest ever posted. Vat is removed at checkout to bring the final price down. Make sure you select Amazon as the seller.
CamelCamelCamel.
Did you change the seller to amazon?
might be better to link this page in future amazon posts because it seems that this is always something that comes up.

Thanks
First France now Germany?
Yes weren't they only $250 a few days back ;-p
Not the lowest ever posted. Probably the lowest ever honoured though. :p
$829 at msy, hmm maybe i'll wait another year lol
$829 at MSY is for the EVO version, not the Pro as is seen in this deal…
The MSY 1TB Pro is $559, they don't even sell this 2TB version
how's the warranty claim ?
Pity about those sods who may have paid $767.20 for the standard Samsung EVO 2TB SSD on this deal a few weeks ago. I say you are probably feeling like idiots now after seeing this you could have got the EVO Pro for less.
depends if you needed it for work ( makes you money) or play ( costs you money).
Even if it was for work, you'd be pretty annoyed. Granted it's going to pay for itself down the track, but ozbargainer's being ozbargainer's are going to want to buy everything at a good price.
I bought a 2TB 850 EVO a few months for this price.
Doesn't really bother me. I'm happy to see SSD prices continue to come down.
I only use it for games, so this drive would have made little to no difference.
I don't need 2TB, but I'll happily take 1TB if they have it for half this price. Otherwise for this kind of cash, I'd take a smaller but faster PCIE M.2.
I'm going to wait 4 more years for this to become sub $100.
Price is not the issue. If it's $100 for 2TB, I'll take 1TB for $50.
I don't need 2TB because I uninstall the games I finish and I only play 1 game at a time, or 2 tops. That's not going to change in the next 4 years, so added capacity has diminishing returns for me.
Added speed is something I'm always happy to take.
Why don't you get a 240GB for $75? 240 is plenty of space for OS and 2 games.
Do want. Must behave.
Thanks OP. Bought this with a car portable vacuum cleaner :)
if only I didn't already have 3 1TB evo 850 drives.
i'm still waiting for the 3x 2tb ones I ordered from Amazon.fr the other day
I ordered one of those 2tb from .fr, Amazon emailed and claimed pricing error and won't be sending, they may have emailed you :(
This OP explains how I feel about the current price of SSDs
https://hardforum.com/threads/ssd-profiteering-read-price-go…
Seriously… Less than 35c/Gb for a high end drive and you're complaining?
If you want 2000 of them, then even at that price it will look expensive.
$250 for a 128gb ssd back when that post was made and now it's $700 for 2000gb. I think the so-called overpricing has passed.
Regardless of whether the price has dropped over the past couple of years they're still overpriced for what they're. The sad thing is that the consumer continues to excepts this as normal and which means the prices stay high. I can't imagine it would be costing Samsung $700 to make a 2000gb SSD. Just look at their Share price over the past 5 years https://www.google.co.id/search?q=samsung+share+price&oq=sam…
Anyways, you fools can keep buying em…makes no difference to me
Not sure I agree here. Manufacturers will charge what the market will bear, that's true in any industry. The tech has changed to cheaper tlc mem which whole not as good will get the job done for most. Paying above msrp? On this forum? Not friggin likely. This drive in question in particular isn't a consumer grade drive and is more geared toward enterprise so will cost more naturally. If you need just cheap storage for movies buys mechanical disk and save the ssd for a boot drive.
There are a lot of small name companies bringing cheap ssd to market too and it's not a massive undercut as you are suggesting. The technology is shifting from expensive high quality memory to cheaper low quality memory which is how the prices have come down so much over the years.
I would love to see more competition in the market. Few more companies providing Intel/Samsung quality for a couple hundred dollars less would be amazing for the consumer
has anyone managed to install an SSD into their XB1 or PS4 as the boot drive? im tempted
Many people have with PS4.
XB1 does not have replaceable HDD as far as I know, though that might have changed in the S.
They have but both consoles are using SATA2 so it's bottlenecked quite a lot. The majority of games do not experience much reduction in load times either, check YouTube for the benchmarks but most games only save 2-5seconds. There are rare exceptions like Destiny though that see a significant improvement.
The problem is that there are other bottlenecks in the system so the SSD being fast does not improve the load times significantly because it's still waiting for the CPU/RAM/GPU.
While that is partially true the hard drive is usually the biggest bottleneck on any system, console or PC. I think it's just that most console games are optimized to stream data on the fly as evidenced by the texture pop in found in a lot of console games. There's not enough RAM to really load everything in at once which makes the load screens faster but more loading occurs while in the game and like you say the GPU isn't very strong in the consoles so they typically use much smaller textures overall anyway which also translates to lower load times.
An SSD doesn't really cut down on the initial load times for most console games but once in the game it should be a bit smoother in regards to the streaming of assets, can't say that it's really worth it or not though depending on which game is being played and how distracting the pop-in is.
@Agret: That would make RAM the bottleneck. The fact that the game is programmed around that limitation doesn't change that fact.
Digital Foundry has been pretty exhaustive in testing HDD, SSHD, and SSD. The conclusion is SSHD gives a decent improvement for the relatively more cost effective upgrade than SSD. SSD improves the most, but by how much varies from game to game. Some are barely improved at all (2 seconds out of 30) None of these games will an SSD improve the initial load as much as it would on a PC. It's an inarguable fact, and if you play MOBAs or strategy games where you must wait for others to load before you start and some of them are on HDDs, they hold everyone up. It's annoying.
My advice is, if your PC is running an HDD, definitely get an SSD. The improvement is massive and totally worth it. If you're on console, it's not worth the money. There's an improvement but not enough to justify the price, if you're getting at least 500GB.
Anyone else got the "sorry, we've made a price error, your order has been cancelled" email from Amazon? Can't believe this is the second time in such a short time
Nope, well not yet.
yeah, same thing. need to find a way for them to stop sending spam now, still getting spam from the french deal last time
I received an email stated that the order has been cancelled due to price error? Same thing again like Amazon France?
This seller does not deliver the articles you choose to Australia?
