Thanks to TA for the original PROXY post lol
LOL @third person self reference
got one
and I dont even have a desktopThese can also fit in laptops with 2.5" drives.
It should be "I don't even need one" haha. I got one also, anyway lol
The true ozbargain way.
Hoping for a price war with SSD again.
I must have missed it, what price war?
I might be wrong, but wasn't there a price war during the "PLUS15" promotion?
Yes
Don't know, I thought you meant between SSD manufacturers.
When SSDs were first released and adopted everyone was saying prices would drop significantly, which hasn't happened.
$225 and I'll buy the 1TB 860 Evo :)
Its getting closer… No Backing out now, haha $231
$223 now, show your wallet
"A seller made some changes to an item listing."
Price changed during checkout :(
I'm ready to buy at $225 or lower! Just got out of a work meeting and missed it.
860 EVO better than MX 500?
MX500 unless the 860 evo is the same price, the 860 evo don't perform much better than the MX500.
If speed is what you want, drop both drives out of the equation altogether and get an NVME drive, not SATA. That's where all the performance is.
Barely any real world difference though for most users.
you could say that for 90% of ssds
@Basimx: Yes but the difference is that NVME SSDs are more expensive.
For NVME you are paying a premium for speed that isn't bottlenecking 90% of users (or form factor for a laptop).
yeah, the NVME are still a bit pricier, but size and performance is very appealing ….at 1TB it's painfull, but for 500GB the extra $100 is worth it.
Real world difference, depends on the age of your motherboard, lots of laptops now come with NVME M.2 slots so the appeal for laptop users is 2 fold,
1- main boot drive upgrdae
2- you can still have a cheap 2tb spinde in the sata slot.desktop users don't have shortage of space for drives or sata ports.
Was going tot go for the Samsung then bought 3x Crucial MX500 1TB's from PCBytes for $221 each with eBay Plus.
that's a great deal mate
Far out that's a hell of a deal. Must. Resist.
970 evo 500gb or 860 evo 1tb? hmm..
Unless you do a lot of 4K (or 6K/8K) video editing or you have another NVMe SSD on the same machine (or Thunderbolt 3 SSDs) or a bunch of SATA3 SSDs in RAID, you are not going to see the real benefit of 970 EVO. The cheaper MX500 1TB is also worth considering.
I know most people have good experience with SSDs, but for me, after the death of 3 SSDs (including one Samsung SSD), I wouldn't consider SSDs as reliable. One of still working SSDs has started to re-allocate sectors, it's nowhere close to the quoted write endurance.
Best to not overspend on TLC SSDs.
How about CAD cam but on a 4k screen , and connected to a 3d scanner? 970?
If you need to work on multiple CAD files at the same time a lot, then you could get some benefit from NVMe. 3D scanner - it actually depends on how fast your 3D scanner can send data to your computer. If the scanner is only USB 3.0 (or 3.1 gen 1), even 860 EVO would be waiting for data to come in (let alone 970 EVO). But if your 3d scanner supports USB 3.1 gen 2 or Thuderbolt 3, then certainly go for NVMe. Video editing / rendering or tasks which require a lot of disk bandwidth (i.e. you run multiple VMs on the machine or a server serving multiple people) can really benefit from NVMe.
As for 4K screen, it depends more on your graphics card. Even for CAD, if you need to do a lot of 3D rendering, the GPU matters a lot. You might think NVMe is fast, but it is still slower than RAM (so it cannot even compare to GDDR5).
If it is for work related (tax deductible) and you have the budget to go for NVMe, sure go ahead, but I would suggest you consider getting MLC based NVMe SSDs (e.g. 970 Pro). If you are going to get NVMe, might as well aim for the best. 970 EVO is priced like a MLC SSD despite it being a TLC SSD.
Look at real world usage type benchmarks, you can see 970 EVO is still one notch below MLC based NVMe SSDs. In real world app type tests, you can see 4K random read/write matters more (hence why Optane 3D XPoint SSD solution benefits more from increased NVMe bandwidth in real life).

http://thessdreviewcdn2.thessdreview1.netdna-cdn.com/wp-cont…@netsurfer: thanks for valuable information. Is tlc that bad?
Recently upgraded my 256gb evo 850 ssd with 500 gb eco 860 after 3 years of use hoping new one will run for atleast 5 years.Thinking to have waited for 1 tb ssd…
my credit card is SCREAMING
Give it to me.
Every. God. Damn. Time.
Just bought one of these last weekend for $350…
Not any more. Gotta love a price war :)
lol that was quick
They're cheaper again.
@tightarse: what is the best way to get the lowest price if we already bought one earlier (like an hour ago)?
@tightarse: It's funny that the sellers are now the ones doing the bidding on eBay.
This deal is becoming awfully tempting. Entertaining too.
EDIT: BAM! PCByte @ $239.25
@tightarse: tbh, I will pay little more to pcbyte. Tired of SE or futu raising prices on most of items.
Hope they have such competition on laptops.But this price is amazing. Recently got 500 gb one
Edit. Spellings.Ahh the decision to wait a few days and see where this ends, or risk out of stock disappointment.
@ozbjunkie: SE only has 2 left in stock as of this post (likely to be restocked). PC Byte has more then 10.
got one for 224.25 - many thanks for starting a price war!!
lol, well done!
Deal!
Got it at 250.50 Thanks Tightarse! Thanks Shopping Express!
Got one, will be a good upgrade for my brother who is always at full capacity on a 250GB SSD.
Hmmmm…. got the Crucials at $221. Wonder if it's worth cancelling and getting the the Samsungs?
Yes.
I bought the Samsung 860 1TB for $239.25.
I think its worth the extra money for the Samsung. Benchmarked higher.

$224 now
FML
Just grabbed a 1TB for the X1X, thanks guys!
I got the last one.The problem is I got one for 257 this morning.
I sent the seller a message to cancell the order.
Is there anything else I can to to make sure the do it?Worse case, when you receive the item, you can return it back with free shipping (eBay Plus)
1TB all gone.
No. New stock added.
At a higher price.
You're right lol. No idea what's going on any more.
Yeah, just noticed.
:( Sad
Looks like I got my order in only 5 mins before the price changed, phew.
yes it was 298 now 328 :(
The price movement made me feel like I am buying cryptocurrency. And yes, I bought it at high, and that feeling when it reached a low :(
oos
Missed it. Cracker of a deal. Thanks TA. Hope you can bring this back along with an M2 NVME deal.
Just wondering, has anyone else received shipping a notification yet?
I've sent SE a message, I still don't know if my drive's been sent…
Got it yrsterday.
Wow, that's a great price.
Always strutting around showing your arse.
