With the $85 cashback from the Samsung SSD promotion this works out to be $484.50 including delivery with eBay Plus.
I also confirmed with the store that the model number for this item is MZ-V7S2T0BW which is eligible for the cashback promotion.

Well yeah no shit
FYI 500gb is $143.65 + cashback
i think the 660p is still a better "bang for your buck" right now.

They are not even in the same ballpark in terms of write/read, access latency, endurance.
like i said "bang for buck" if after 5 years after warranty both drives are still kicking then well they've served their time. but i know right now the $313 price tag of the intel is alot healthier for my wallet.
That's not what HashBrown meant. The 660p is vastly constrained by its cache. It can drop down to hard drive speeds if taxed too highly and performance will drop significantly if it is >80% full.
@Zazer: you mean in benchmarks/certain requirements where as in the real world for regular people wont likely ever happen? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/452765
and if you aren't a regular user like me browsing ozbargain. im sure you know and understand the difference between "bang for your buck" to you actually require "top tier" and are looking to get a cheap price for it regardless of the cost in the end.
@[Deactivated]: Not sure why you linked a Samsung QVO comparison, they're completely different drives.
I'm also not sure what you mean by "if you aren't a regular user like me browsing ozbargain", because that's all that I am. The 660p is not a good choice as it will slow down significantly when filled, compared to other SSD's, as well as throttle to hard drive speeds when taxed.
@Zazer: because that write up about the QVO is the same reason why the intel slows down and it explains the very thing you keep complaining about.
I'm guessing we are still a long way off for SSD 2tb to drop to even wd black 2tb prices…
