Market price for ~250GB SSD Drive

brisdaz on 30/09/2018 - 12:10

Is $81.22 the best price to buy a 250GB SSD SATA 2.5" drive?

See https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Western-Digital-WD-Blue-250GB-2-… for it.

I'm ok to go with second hand but is this enough to prevent me from getting a dud? -

Please supply 3 screenshots of SMART info as from the following programs:

CrystalDiskInfo 7.8.0 - Google Search or https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/
- Screenshot of main window

HDD Guardian 0.7.1 - Google Search or www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/hdd_guardian.html
- Screenshot of General tab and Health tab as per example below.

For an example (but in your screenshots please enable serial number) please see 3 pictures of my new laptop from my online Google photo album - https://photos.app.goo.gl/hJnHJ7XoxD93FMuZA

If you can do better than or equal to $60 or 75% of brand new price of $81.22 with 5 year warranty from https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Western-Digital-WD-Blue-250GB-2-… please let me know.

  Ta for the reply.
  
  Yes I've already browsed the SSD tag - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/tag/ssd
  
  I've also check out static ice where the price seems to be around $79 - http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=250gb+ssd&spos=…

  Not really. I got the recommendation off the internet - don't want a SSD that's been write thrashed!

There are plenty of 240GB/250GB drives available for under $80.

Something like This WD Green 240GB for $62 is okay.

This deal posted by microsnot for a 480GB SSD for $88 is better again.

Hope that helps.

  Thanks but need 250GB or higher so 256GB is ok as old drive (whilst the file system could be reduced) is 250GB.

People like you are the reason I've given up selling or even giving away my old stuff.

If you want a like new second hand item, just buy new.
Stop wasting everyones time.

  I don't want as new. I just want one that is reasonably used and not been abused.

Bought a few for $49 each. Keep an eye out for similar deals if you're being frugal.
