have you read about amazon warehouse and working condition?
that would explain how they can ship it to you so much faster..
That makes no sense.
Amazon could solve poverty in the US for every citizen (60 billion), let alone pay it's workforce a wage that didn't leave the tax payer subsidising the workforce through welfare, and still get things to us just as fast.
what do you mean not make sense?
It means that Amazon pushing their workers to pick at a very high rate
Everything is timed and workers are even afraid to take toilet breaks
and they get a headset that telling them how much time they got to get to the next item ..Also they got more pickers working at their warehouse as well.

"Other employees cited working conditions as one of the prevailing factors for wanting to form a union. “I support the effort. They have to be more supportive toward their employees,” said another Amazon employee in Staten Island. “Right now, at that fulfillment center, if an employee is a picker, they want that person to pick up 400 items per hour, picking each item every seven seconds.”
They noted that to keep up with that hourly rate, workers cannot take bathroom breaks or they risk Tot (time off task points) that could be used to justify job termination."

Compare this to something like APU's warehouse, where there might be a few pickers
looking at a list of orders and picking it at less demanding pick rate.
And they probably aren't going to get monitored as closely as Amazon.So for us customer, we love the fast delivery..
but everything has a price..ie worker's working condition.
@pinkybrain: Apple is the worst. Apple products are manufactured by child slave labour to maximize profits.
FYI is $97.16 from Amazon AU (+ cashback) but yes worth it if you want it asap. Though according to static ice NSW stores has them for $89 anyway.
You also get 6% cashback from Amazon so you'd be better off anyway.
I'd argue to buy the Silicon Power PCIe 3x4 NVMe drive at $110 ($103 after CB) which is 3D TLC based + Phison E12 (controller uses DRAM) so it doesn't slow down once you fill it up or exceed cache sizes like the Crucial P1 drive which is QLC. The Phison E12 based drives are on par with the SX8200 (SMI based controllers) and pretty much 90% of a 970 EVO Plus for quite a bit less.
Yeah those Silicon Power do look best of the rest … but after the discount code and cashback the Samsung evo plus is about $122 and I steered that way in the end even though is $19 more.
thanks
How are their software compare to samsung?
what software are you talking about?
Don't they normally come with migration software or drive software? Like samsung magician.
Crucial used to provide a copy of Acronis but I don't think they do anymore. You can use Macrium Reflect which is free for home usage to clone drives.
Got it with my last sata SSD, but would not see the drive at all … so used Macrium in the end anyway.
Any affordable NVME to USB case these days so the small capacity drive can be repurposed?

This one costs $50!AliExpress has a few ranging from $14-$30 on the lower end but the cheaper ones will be very speed limited.
I bought a $25 AliExpress one, works fine with my OEM Intel drive, 400MB+ sec write speed for large files, and reliable for hourly backups over the last 3 months.
Tried to paste a link to it, from the AE app, comment got unpublished…
Can you use the Samsung magician to clone a non Samsung drive?
no
Yes. As long as the target drive is a Samsung, you can clone a non-Samsung drive…but I’m not sure that’s what you really wanted to ask.
I think Amazon is $92 shipped at the moment. They will also get it to you next day. I would recommend them.
To save a few bucks I bought from these guys but they were horrendously slow to ship. Took 7 business days to get it. From Sydney to Melbourne. They didn't ship it for 3-4 days. Seems like a common occurrence looking at their eBay feedback. If you're an online business, with the automation there is today it's really inexcusable to sit on the order for about 4 business days. Typical Australian attitudes to eCommerce.
