    WOW this price is a war….

  • Click_It on 27/05/2019 - 09:12

    Great prices. Strange no nvme which is simply a different controller to unlock the performance of these beasts. I'm looking forward to SATA disappearing. Brilliant none the less

    Which brand ssd is inside I wonder?

    Even the official description says it's a bargain

    the absolute bargain in the field

  • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2019 - 09:19

    Is it comparable to Samsung t5?

    • scuderiarmani on 27/05/2019 - 09:23

      These are internal

      • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2019 - 09:37

        Oh ic, thanks for clarifying.

    • FireRunner on 27/05/2019 - 09:23

      This is an internal SSD and the Samsung T5 is external?

          When I submitted my comment, both had the '2 sec ago' above it. I refreshed the page and they were still in sync.
          Too bad the seconds aren't shown after the comment is more than a minute old.

    better off with the 512GB for $75 then the 480GB for $68

    480GB - Read Speed (MAX): 520 MB/s; Write Speed (MAX): 450 MB/s

    512gb - Read Speed (MAX): 550 MB/s; Write Speed (MAX): 490 MB/s

    These cheap SSD have no DRAM so while fast for bursts, are actually slower than many HDD for large file activities.

    Consider this for your use case.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2019 - 09:44

      Perfectly fine to host windows 10 and everyday tasks though

      • EnALup on 27/05/2019 - 09:47

        For Windows 10, you might live with 256 or 480 GB SSD. If someone is getting 1 TB, their objective is also to store or move big files.

        • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2019 - 09:49

          Fair call. I have a 120gb ($27) ssd for W10 and old HDD in cage where optical drive once sat for storage. Works a treat.

        • justtoreply on 27/05/2019 - 09:52
          +3

          1TB is not enough for moving or storing big files.

          I'd say it's a "might as well get 1tb since it's cheap" purchase.

          • whats up skip on 27/05/2019 - 12:39

            @justtoreply: Even copying a 5GB is more than enough for the transfer rate to drop to 100MBps.

        Until it fails prematurely and unexpected. People who cheap out on hardware are usually the same people who neglect to backup their important data. Cheap SSDs are never a good idea.

        • fchis on 27/05/2019 - 10:50

          cheap doesn't always mean bad. However, it's always good to keep a back up for sure.

        • nikpik on 27/05/2019 - 11:53

          Amazon showed the way - always buy cheap with cheaper backup

    • 3liminate on 27/05/2019 - 09:49

      What's the best option then for a ~ 500GB Portable Backup drive under $80? Was thinking of getting an internal SSD with enclosure adapter?

      • Jackson on 27/05/2019 - 22:38

        I would say that's a safe bet. The crucial drive goes cheap and a USB external case can be had for 5 bucks, probably get out for under 60

  • PukeyLuke on 27/05/2019 - 09:49

    So at the start of the year a bargain price for a 1TB SSD such as this was just around $200 a TB.
    Now I'm regularly seeing your average, adequate, middle of the road, "this'll do" SSD for under $130.
    I finally bought a 1TB (960GB) BX500 2.5" Crucial SSD yesterday for $127 thinking this will be a never again price.
    Now one day later there's one selling for $125.79, who would've thought!!
    This reminds me of the solar panel pricing, In the 90's solar panels sold for around $10 a watt,
    but we were told for years that in 5 years time it will drop to $1 a watt, WOW, can't wait!!
    Then about 20 years later it did drop to $1 a watt.
    SSD's seem to be going through this process right now.
    I hope they drop in price 10 fold over the next couple of years!!

    • uzz30 on 27/05/2019 - 09:54

      Where'd you find the BX500 for ~$125?

    • seb on 27/05/2019 - 09:59

      I think the BX500 is a much better deal at that price than this one.

      • fchis on 27/05/2019 - 13:39

        actually, if u use cashback from Shopback, you'll get another $15 off for this deal. You end up paying $111 altogether compare to BX500 ($127+$15 postage=$142).

      The theory is "Buy when you NEED IT" but the OZB spirit is "Buy when you SEE IT"..

      so who care after X years of … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    • maverickjohn on 27/05/2019 - 11:54

      I did the same but I’d trust crucial a little more even though it’s their dram less ssd over pioneers offering.

      My worry was more between Samsung qvo QLC vs crucial bx500 tlc ssd .
      Then found both were similar.
      So I went off the theory that TLC has better longevity than QLC

  • shaidas on 27/05/2019 - 10:10

    Thanks OP got a 1tb though dont really need it :-)

    "industry-leading Phison S11 controller"
    Probably not.

  • jastreb on 27/05/2019 - 12:18

    whats wrong with the 512GB one?https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07P1X8R9Q?th=1

    Thats still in stock and now cheaper than 480GB. Seems equivalent if not better spec wise!?

    • netsurfer on 27/05/2019 - 12:32

      480GB was cheaper… looks like stock sold out. Most people were probably after the 1TB one.

      • jastreb on 27/05/2019 - 15:05

        it was cheaper but not by much and the 512GB does have 32GB more plus seems to have a slightly better maximum write rate. So if anyone was after the 480 they could still get the 512GB.

  • ozvictor on 27/05/2019 - 12:52

    Can anyone confirm if I can put this onto my Alienware 17 2014 version? Thanks
