Hi OzB,

We had this SSD up for sale at this price during our Black Friday sale, and it proved so popular we're doing it again + a bit of something extra!

Seagate BarraCuda 500GB SSD for $79 (was $129) Limited to 2 per customer SOLD OUT
Seagate BarraCuda 1TB SSD for $149 (was $299) Limited to 1 per customer SOLD OUT

We have quite a decent amount of both of these in stock, and this price is whilst stock lasts.

  • Note: just due to how our system works, if you purchase two 500GB SSDs, they must be purchased on the same order - you cannot place two orders of a single unit each.
  • Note 2: You must follow the links in this post to receive the special price, no promo code required.

Click & Collect is available, plus shipping Australia wide.

      Depends where you are of course but approx $12 for most areas of Australia. There is a freight estimate on the product page where you can put in your postcode and it will tell you exactly.

    This vs Samsung 860 SATA?

      On paper at least it looks pretty comparable. Definitely the EVO series tend to be held up as the gold standard of SSDs (with good reason!) but I would say these are totally fine as well - especially at this price.

      Comparable in all metrics, on paper.

      Read/write (MB/s): Seagate 560/540, Samsung 550/520
      Read/write (IOPS): Seagate 90K/90K, Samsung 98K/90K
      TBW : Seagate 485, Samsung 600
      MTBF (hrs) : Seagate 1.8M, Samsung 1.5M
      Warranty : both 5 years

      Stacking the various discounts on the 860 right now makes it the cheaper deal.

        Stacking the various discounts on the 860 right now makes it the cheaper deal.

        Possibly on the 1TB, but is there a 500GB EVO for less than $91 delivered somewhere?

        • AnneThrope on 30/11/2018 - 16:07

          The above numbers are all for the 1TB (TBW and such vary by size).

          However, optimum stacking of
          PRIZER,
          cashrewards,
          pre-purchased ebay GC at 10% off,
          ebay+ and
          Samsung cashback ..
          a 500GB 860 Evo is
          $149 -20% -1% -10% -$15 -
          or a few cents away from $91.
          About $95 if you can only get the 5% off ebay GC.

      QLC(Seagate) vs TLC (Samsung)

      QLC can pack more data into a smaller area than existing flash generations, but is also vastly more sensitive to wear upon writes

      Lower endurance is the catch

        Any word on Samsung EVO QLC ssd's? Will you be stocking them anytime this year?

        • furythree on 30/11/2018 - 14:30

          dont by those

          poor sustained read write

          im hoping regular ssds will drop in price when those come out

          • scrimshaw on 30/11/2018 - 14:36

            @furythree: Yeah, now that I read the article, the prices on those don't make sense. They're more expensive than the standard 860 Evo's.

          • skillet on 01/12/2018 - 10:11

            @furythree: The manufacturers can play the pricing game where regular ssd be Value range and QLC equiped storage be Economical range. Then you still have the premium range, pro range, high end and ultra high end range.

            It's hard for the prices to change overnight when you have under 5 major manufacturers price fixing the worlds supply. A few new 3D nand fabs in China should come online now and supply shortage should be solved by now but prices are still not as low as it should be.

      I keep thinking "Perhaps I should buy a new SSD" then I think "I don't need it, and by the time I need one they'll probably be $15, so I should wait."

        definitely wait

        new models are coming thats why

        • macrocephalic on 30/11/2018 - 17:42

          From what I understand, the new tech coming out has been quad level, which gives higher density, but [so far] slower speeds.

          You will get an email when it's actually ready to collect - it will have to physically be picked and scanned by our warehouse staff and all the other stuff that goes on in the background. I won't say "straight away" but it should be quite quick.

    QLC…

    Linus has a good recent review on QLC SSD's. In short I'm staying clear of them, it doesn't look like a good long term investment.

    • kehuehue on 30/11/2018 - 16:08
      +3

      good catch, QLC is the cheaper end of things in SSDs, Samsung releasing the 860 QVO.

      The current Samsung Evos are on sale are TLC which are much better in terms of endurance

      • Click_It on 30/11/2018 - 16:35
        +1

        Yep, endurance is the big word. I think there could be future headaches in these (any QLC based chips). At the very least, performance is going to slow over time a lot more than people will expect from an SSD. For secondary storage probably not a problem, for an OS drive? RUN AWAY!

        It seems very few are aware of what QLC is. Linus's explanation. Like him or hate him, it's an interesting review.

        • sallan75 on 30/11/2018 - 19:45

          Yeah it will probably disintegrate the moment you install the OS. Would be good if it came with a 5 year warranty…

          • Click_It on 01/12/2018 - 09:29

            @sallan75: QLC nand performance will erode over time that's fact not opinion. Therefor the constant read/writes of an OS drive isn't the ideal use. Who cares about warranty if it's the speed of a mechanical HDD in a few years time. Warranty won't cover poor performance.

            To be fair, this Seagate SSD is NOT QLC based, thanks XZT for correcting me.

    • XZT on 30/11/2018 - 21:29
      +2

      I'm confused. Where are you getting the QLC spec from?

      https://www.seagate.com/www-content/datasheets/pdfs/barracud…
      Datasheet has the Seagate SSDs as 3D TLC.

      While your post technically doesn't claim that these particular SSDs are QLC, others are interpreting it like that. If they were QLC, why didn't they get as much attention as the Samsung 860 QVO?

      • Click_It on 01/12/2018 - 09:27
        +1

        You know what, you're right. I humbly apologise, these are TLC based not QLC! Lazy googling on my part.

        What I said about QLC stands but those comments don't apply to THIS SEAGATE SSD.
