This is the mainstream/decent performing, DRAM cached range of SSD (not the DRAM-less, more budget oriented SSD Plus range), and basically the same drives as WD Blue 3D SSD (SanDisk is owned by Western Digital, as of posting). The WB Blue branded drives can go down to the $100 price point from time to time (cheapest maybe $90), while the SanDisk branded ones have always stayed above $100. Nonetheless, they are basically the same drive (sans branding) and performs the same.
With dropping NAND and DRAM prices, and reduced demand of parts over the past few months, it is possible that the prices will fall further. So again this is probably a good deal for those with Amazon Prime membership, who are semi-urgently in need of getting a drive (for use within the next month or so).
Another caveat would be these are sold by Amazon US instead of AU, so the warranty will be covered by Amazon US.
