  • Not the fastest of drives but good to put an OS on. Might grab one.

  • +5

    M.2, but SATA and not NVME. I'll pass.

    • Can you please explain the practical difference?

      • +4

        NVME is faster then SATA by about 7x. Both can be m.2 for factor. Still a perfectly good drive if moving from a HDD. Not so much if you already have an SSD.

        • +5

          I went from a 4 year old Samsung 840 250gb to a nvme 960 pro in a new build and noticed a faster boot - but that was it. Going from a HDD to a decent SATA3 SSD was a huge leap forward. Going from SATA3 SSD to nvme feels negligible for everyday use.

        • I might be outdated with this info, but 7x is a very skewed comparison. SATA vs nvme drives in the real world, for day to day activities, one would not see any difference. For large file transfers, there will be, but who moves several gb of files on a daily basis? And even then, it's a couple of seconds saved.
          Whereas start up times and loading times are comparable and probably not worth the premium. If they're the same price, nvme is the one to go for. I wouldn't pay that much more for nvme though.

          @shiny1:

          Highly unlikely to be 7x faster. A good NVMe is more like 3x faster on paper however this doesn't translate over in practice except for copying files from one NVMe drive to another NVMe drive. An NVMe boots windows 10 in 6 seconds where a SATA SSD boots in 9 seconds. For most other applications the difference in load speeds tends to sit around the 20-40% faster mark.

          @shiny1: >in the real world, for day to day activities, one would not see any difference.

          Simply incorrect. Why are you making up stuff about hardware you don't use?

        • +1

          @Diji1:
          I have 4 SATA ssds (one OS) and an nvme sm951 in my xps 15. No real world difference. Even if there is, it's negligible. This is the realest test I can do. No one cares about artificial benchmarks.

        • NVME is faster then SATA by about 7x

          In benchmarks, yes. In real world usage you won't notice it. Or at least I haven't.

          I went from 500GB 850 EVO SATA to 960 Pro 512GB and have not noticed any difference in performance. Even my games take the same amount of time to load. This is due to bottlenecks elsewhere in the system when loading a map. The same problem happens when you put an SSD into a PS4. It speeds things up a little but then the bottlenecks shift elsewhere.

          In the end, I wish I'd bought a 1TB 850 EVO instead.

      • I picked up a Samsung 960 Evo 500gb for $264 in the latest ebay 20% off sale.. it came with an Australian invoice and 3yrs local warranty

      M.2, but SATA and not NVME. I'll pass.

      Agreed. I've got a stupid m.2 SATA drive just sitting in the draw in my desk.
      Might just chuck it in the bin.

      • +1

        Send it my way?

      • Upvoted, as I assume that was sly sarcasm

  • Where do you insert the code?

    • Don't think you even need to - just under the price ($99) on the main page you'll see '28% off 1 item(s) 1 Applicable Promotion' just click on that and redeem - price gets lowered then when you go to checkout

  • limit of 1, bummer I wanted to RAID a pair of these bad boys

      • Do you have 4x M.2 slots?

        • Ha! Nah just put that in to see of the discount carried across multiple units - which it does ;)

      • OK yep I just retried it and it worked for 2. Now I have no excuse.

        I have been using a pair of slow Sandisk 250GB M.2 SSDs with a Marvell Hyperduo PCIe card in RAID 0 for a year now and its been great.

        • Careful stumo. While most higher end boards have more than one m.2 usually they only support one sata m.2 connection whereas the other m.2 slots are pcie. You're probably not going to be able to use the second, its worth a checkup

        • +1

          @BloodyRoses:
          I'm already using this setup for over a year. This is similar to the PCIe card I'm using….

  • better to pay in USD or AUD?

    • +2

      USD will be cheaper - even if you don't have an international fee free card

      • +2

        Did the math using the spot rate as a guide, and it appears about the same to me, maybe a tad cheaper in USD. I think Amazon are very good with their conversion rates, unlike PayPal, but thanks anyways Urancartel.

  • +1

    Intel also provides direct International warranty making this a very good deal for the price.

  • +1

    REMINDER: This is M.2. First picture is misleading as it shows the M.2 in front of the standard 2.5" SATA drive.

  • +1

    Thanks, ordered 2

    • I hope you have two M.2 slots

      • Maybe its one for now one for later.. or 2 builds :)

    • Careful radiobirdman. While most higher end boards have more than one m.2 usually they only support one sata connection whereas the rest are pcie. You're probably not going to be able to use the second, its worth a checkup.

      • thanks, but will only be using one, second one for another laptop

  • +2

    still shows Shipping & handling:$24.16 for me

    • +2

      Yeah I was just checking and they've just changed it so that it only has the fast shipping option (expedited)

      Will mark it expired and hope they bring back the cheaper shipping option

      • +1

        no worries, saved myself $98 lol …it was a ripper deal though

  • +1

    Says not available to Australia for me. Any ideas? Thanks

    • +2

      apparently Amazon restricts international shipping if stock is less than 2. This is what an amazon rep told me from a previous enquiry

  • +2

    Yeah just when I click place order. BAM - out of stock

  • +1

    96.15USD now, I will stick with 850evo then

  • If i knew i could get a higher space m.2 and for cheap.. I wouldn't of just bought a 2tb sdd … lol "old ssd was 240gb and i needed more" .. well least this can store my games but still i could of used this as an external ssd "buy a case" for my/neices Wii U
