    Thanks OP. I've been waiting for a good deal on a small SSD for a while.

    Waiting for a super deal on the MX

    Surely $7 extra for the 240 GB is better deal for most

    • UncleRico on 23/08/2019 - 19:24

      It would indeed be a better deal, and [wait for it]…

    • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2019 - 20:31

      With a 10% off giftcard, 240gb is just under $31 delivered.

    • PAEz on 23/08/2019 - 20:50

      Thanks for pointing that out, got the plus trial and got one.
      Very happy with that price delivered.

      It's $8 extra.

    Great price :)

    Just checked and found my very first SSD was a 120Gb - March 2012 - $177 delivered.

    • Matt86 on 24/08/2019 - 01:54

      64GB Crucial M4 (the best SSD at the time) for $105 in Julyish 2012. Didn't know what all the rave was about until I got one.

      Haven't ever done back, every build I do has one now no matter the budget. They're cheap enough that a budget PC can have just an SSD and get away with it.

      I was a very early SSD adopter and paid $550 for my first SSD 120GB !!

      • Matt86 on 25/08/2019 - 10:39

        Wow, what SSD is it?

  • Shaolinking on 23/08/2019 - 21:32

    Damn, my phone storage is bigger than this. How to use

    • tommy-darko on 24/08/2019 - 00:26

      Decent for external use or to run your operating system off alongside another larger drive for storage.

  • bugsucher on 23/08/2019 - 21:36

    I see $35.12 ($43.90 - $8.78) for 120GB?

    • Sharp on 23/08/2019 - 22:15

      Same here. Seems expired.

    • ModeratorRichardL on 23/08/2019 - 22:17

      Extra $10 off at checkout.

      • bugsucher on 23/08/2019 - 22:30

        Ah, missed that part. Thanks.

      • Ziggy28 on 23/08/2019 - 23:22

        The way they structure this discount means it's only worth buying 1 per transaction. If you try adding another similar item the $10 discount remains the same.

    Review of this ssd is crap

    • dcep on 23/08/2019 - 23:04

      still better than WD green

      • pinkybrain on 23/08/2019 - 23:23

        don't know much about that drive or how much it cost
        but I only just look at this one and it is not that great

        So you are definitely getting what you pay for.

        Since we are keeping the SSD for a while
        I think it is better to spend a bit more money for the better MX or Samsung Evo ssds

        • ItsMeAgro on 24/08/2019 - 00:40
          +4

          For a boot drive, yeah. If you have the money.

          But if you have a desktop (or large laptop that fits 2 SSDs) and already have a speedy 128GB or 240GB boot drive and just need a little extra space to put the games you're playing at the moment or your work software or whatever, so it loads faster, this is a good drive for that.

        • netsurfer on 24/08/2019 - 11:19
          +4

          Price 'seems' cheap at first so people would try to come up with some ways to use this:

          • For a really old PC or laptop currently using HDD.
          • A dirt cheap portable SSD (need a $6-9 enclosure).
          • Cheaper than a USB stick at this size (req. an enclosure or cable).
          • An excuse to try out linux or hackintosh.

          Honestly, smaller size DRAMless SSD, not really useful for most people. Price/GB ratio is poor so it doesn't really make sense for gamers (you extrapolate this price to 1TB = $226 - that just looks bad).

            @netsurfer: Extra storage for android tv or auto, DIY nas boot drive. List goes on.

  • hasher22 on 23/08/2019 - 23:40

    I have a Samsung 850 Evo 250gb, need to upgrade it to 500gb. Just wondering with this sale on, wondering if I should get this brand in 500gb or samsung 860 evo. I don't mind spending a bit more from this brand, but my budget is around $110 if I get Samsung

    • ItsMeAgro on 24/08/2019 - 00:41
      +1

      Samsung 860 Evo is faster, but more expensive than these, right?

      • hasher22 on 24/08/2019 - 17:52

        I just the 500gb from MSY today for $109, wasn't really looking for a huge bargain just needed one asap for work :)

      • MuddyClear on 25/08/2019 - 14:05

        860 pro is faster

    • Agret on 24/08/2019 - 08:56

      The MX500 is a very good drive and worth buying over the BX500

  • atom1319 on 24/08/2019 - 08:02

    Grabbed a 240gb, thanks!

  • Anonymous User on 24/08/2019 - 11:11

    Grabbed a 240GB in the previous deal… but price was only AU $42.65 (currently AU $52.95).

    Subtotal = AU $42.65
    Item discount = -AU $5.12
    Postage Free
    Voucher discount = -AU $5.00

    Total paid = AU $32.53

    • relentless on 24/08/2019 - 22:34

      I cancelled the 120gb and purchased the 240gb after reading your comment but got the following:

      Subtotal AU $52.95
      Item discount -AU $10.00
      Postage Free
      Total voucher amount -AU $8.59

      Total AU $34.36

      Still good gb/$ ratio for this ssd. Now to look for an external case.

  • satis on 24/08/2019 - 19:39

    The Crucial BX SSD series is low tier but honestly any SSD is a major upgrade if you don't already own one.
    My advice is to use this to boot up your operating system as 120gb is peanuts nowadays.

    In 2019, an 120gb SSD under $30 is a pretty good price and Crucial is also a decent brand.

  • Flying Ace on 25/08/2019 - 00:28

    Can you put these in a case to use as an external SSD that plugs into a USB port?

    • relentless on 25/08/2019 - 02:26
      +1

      Yes. See comment above by OP.

  • freewilly on 25/08/2019 - 09:04

    How you get free delivery? im getting $15 for it

  • Drzueso on 25/08/2019 - 15:41

    Is this good enough to run windows on parallels? How does it compare to say using windows installation off sdhc class 10?

    • mrhashish on 25/08/2019 - 17:04

      Crucial BX500 120GB 2.5-inch internal SSD SATA 6.0Gb/s - 540 MB/s Read, 500 MB/s Write

      SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB UHS-II SDXC - Speeds up to 300MB/S Read and 260MB/S Write*
      Samsung EVO Plus 512GB MicroSD Card SDXC U3 - read & write speeds up to 100 MB/s & 90 MB/s respectively
      SanDisk Extreme Pro 256GB CompactFlash Memory Card - Up to 160MB/s read; Up to 150MB/s write speeds

      SD cards don't compare in terms of read/write speeds, afaik if you're using SD cards constantly reading and writing you will burn out an SD card fairly quickly where an SSD will last a lot longer.

      Average lifespan of sd card with light use - 5 years for sd card, (heavy use card could be dead in days/weeks if constantly used.)

      Claimed lifespan of this particular ssd - 1.5 million hours
      Endurance 120GB drive: 40TB Total Bytes Written (TBW), equal to 21GB per day for 5 years.

      edit - Yes good to use as a windows drive.

    Anyone else still waiting for delivery? Are they normally this slow
    Havent replied to my ebay messages eithee

    • ransworld on 05/09/2019 - 14:47

      I'm still waiting too. eBay says "tracking info received", but it's still not listed as "in transit". The estimated delivery is today…

  • atom1319 on 06/09/2019 - 19:01

    Still didn't get it.

  • atom1319 on 13/09/2019 - 19:43

    I got it but it doesn't include any screws? Where should I buy them?

    • Korban Dallas on 14/09/2019 - 12:49

      Local computer shop or ebay.
