    Picked up one of these from the last deal and couldn't be happier - popped it into a USB3.1 enclosure to make my Steam library portable. No issues with loading times. Great for the price!

    • garage sale on 26/05/2018 - 16:08

      my son has his steam library on ssd …..makes gaming so much more enjoyable.

        Amen.

    Really hope they start hitting the $200 mark!

    Ideally want two 1TB SSDs to pair up with my PCIe NVME OS drive.

    • Concerned on 26/05/2018 - 18:37

      I'm right there with you. It feels like I have been waiting an eternity for 1TB SSD's to hit the $200 price point.

      QLC drives are just now hitting the enterprise market, once it trickles down to us consumers it should have a significant effect on pricing. Finally.

        I buckled on the Micron 1100 2TB 2.5" SSD deal from eBay for $450 AUD delivered. Pity I couldn't get it to $424 like some others did.. ah well just happy to be able to get in on this deal.

    • MathNerd on 26/05/2018 - 21:33

      Thanks for letting us know.

  • ChickenAdobo on 26/05/2018 - 16:17

    Give it another year or so, the major brands could be hitting their 1 TB sdd ranges to this price point.

        we will see in july what pricing is like when they add gst and what they will still deliver to australia …. time for the last shopping sprees.

    If i remember right from my research a few months ago, in a same concept with the Samsung Evos for example use SLC cache for initial fast writes, the speed of these drops off DRAMATICALLY after a few gig of writes at a time. I mean down into the 100MB/s mark i think. A very different league compared to an Evo which would be the best case for an SLC cached TLC drive.
    Would have to drum up the research to confirm but know that its not the kind of drive you would want for great performance or even a boot drive. We will see bigger gaps in performance moving forward as they start making cheaper and different types of SSDs for different uses. Just wait until the QLC drives arrive!

    If you are looking for a bit more space the Micron 1100 2TB at under $500 is a much better buy as an all rounder for a cheap mass storage SSD.
    That said, i can think of many great uses for the drive, anything that needs a lot of space and is read heavy but you want faster reads from, a dedicated drive for Steam would be one of those uses that i can see a lot of people around here using it for.

    • allenhori on 26/05/2018 - 17:36

      Good point. But how often would one move tens of gigs of data between drives?

      • garetz on 26/05/2018 - 19:18

        I keep my steam library on an 8tb mechanical disk as storage, then transfer them over to my ssd when i want to play them, alot of games are over 10 gigs, some as much as 80-100 gigs, so more often than you think.

        • allenhori on 26/05/2018 - 21:02

          can’t a mechanical drive handle normal gaming needs? Hope this is not a dumb question. I haven’t been playing game for a few years now but I find it hard to imagine old day mechanical drive can’t handle games.

        • ashanrath on 27/05/2018 - 08:56

          @allenhori: of course they can, just as they can handle booting windows. Just depends if you want to make a cuppa while the game loads or not.

      • Danthemanz on 26/05/2018 - 22:10

        Thats where its a per person/use decision.
        My parents wouldnt notice, i would notice by simply installing windows on it and not getting through the install before performance drops off the cliff…
        This drive is not for me, but i certainly take it over a 5400rpm HDD…

    • AlienC on 26/05/2018 - 17:43

      So for just a steam drive/one man game dev project drive yay or may? Will be doing everything from the software coding to 3d modeling to sound production to website developing and maybe even hosting the game server for the small pre alpha and beta.

      • Zorlin on 26/05/2018 - 19:55

        hosting the game server for the small pre alpha and beta

        I sincerely hope you're not planning on hosting that at home :)

      • Danthemanz on 26/05/2018 - 22:06

        Sounds like that can get pretty intense, i would certainly look at something better.

    • BargainKen on 26/05/2018 - 17:55

      That would also depend on the size of the drive, the larger capacity models can do more parallel writes as they have more modules on the board. You also get higher endurance on larger capacity drives merely due to there being more space to write to.

      If you want true performance/endurance, SLC or MLC drives are the way to go (assuming the controller is upto the task).

    • Concerned on 26/05/2018 - 18:39

      I've been looking at the same benchmarks on this drive since it has been sitting at the $26x mark for weeks now.

      While it is the best price for a 1TB drive and I probably won't be bothered by not being able to write tens of gigabytes at a time. I still worry about not getting something with better performance.

      It will finally replace my laptops 5400RPM drive so probably anything would be amazing.

    • Danthemanz on 26/05/2018 - 22:29

      To add to my original post:
      In a worst case continuous load the A55 256GB performs at 1/30th of the Samsung 850 Pro…
