    Total is $174.2 shipped for regular people

    Msy has 10% off so its $171 if u go to the local store

      Could just sign up to an eBay plus trial to get the free shipping ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      • +11

        Unless you've already done so…

      • +1

        I have signed up for a free month trial using a different email account. I was hoping I would be targeted on my main eBay account for the cheap $1 membership or whatever it was after my 12-month sub expired but was not so did not renew.

        Either way, vince088 is offering an alternative that is cheaper than the deal posted. A lot of people on the 20% off Computer Alliance deal post (the real deal post) have stated that other companies may have slightly cheaper pricing so be sure to check before purchasing from Computer Alliance.

        The way the CA rep worded his responses yesterday in the main sale post made it seem like some pricing on Samsung SSD's would change prior to sale, he did not confirm for me if that was more or less expensive then their current price.

        No way to tell until 10:00 AM hits today and we all see, but I do have a 2TB Samsung EVO Plus in my cart along with two of this 1TB SSD as I am looking to make a new Threadripper build in November.

        • +2

          Yes just offerering alternatives for people already used ebay plus.

          MSY is 2 mins drive from my work so it was a no brainer to get that deal instead

          It's ok, Gary. Always hard to think straight after a few breakfast beers.

        • Yea and those beers aren't getting enough love either. You're letting us down gary…

    • Username checks out

  • -5

    Should it not be (worth 159.20) for 79$

    • +9

      The $79 worth is referring to Borderlands 3

  • Any deals for a 2TB?

    • Sammy OVO drive discounts to a good price.

  • Thanks for the deal! Does anyone have any enclosure recommendations for this ssd? Never used one before so I'm not entirely sure what to get that's reliable. Thanks in advance.

    • +6

      Orico are great bang for buck enclosures, black is studier but transparent looks really nice.

      • Thanks for the recommendation! Yeah was just looking at the Orico ones, will be going with that.

        • Orico ones are like lottery, you might be lucky and get one which supports TRIM over USB, but can often end up with one that doesn't.

    • If you're looking to strangle its performance, just use a footy sock.

    • get some double sided tape and stick it anywhere inside the case. these things don't need any special treatment.

  • Damn, I already own Borderlands 3. Might give it to a mate or something

      Hi friend…long time no see 🙃

        I was friends with him first!!! :P

        ^ Creepy af xD

  • So the coupon says its started on the 24th at 10am AEDT
    Top of this post says deal starts at 9.30am

    Coupon not accepting at checkout? Still showing $199?

    • +1

      A CA rep confirmed the sale would not start until 10:00 AM today which I assume is AEST, not sure about the rest. FYI it is exactly 9:31 AM AEST at the time of this comment.

  • -1

    Hrmmmm, checkout is still showing up as AU $199.00 for me. The code is coming back with: "Looks like that's the wrong code. Please double-check and try again."

    Edit: Apologies, I thought it was active starting on the 23/09, it seems reading through the comments, deal starts at 10AM. Please disregard.

    • But it is already past 10am AEDT isn't it? At least google says it is…

      • AEST

      • +1

        AEDT doesn’t exist until October 6th. It’s 9:33 AEST. Currently.

        • +2

          Thanks for clearing that up guys.

  • This is or the Crucial MX500 ssd? Anyone know which is better?

    • +2

      This.

      "The 860 Evo is between 10 and 20 percent faster in some individual tests than the Crucial MX500, and its power consumption is slightly lower, but most people wouldn't notice the difference between them in everyday use." Review link

      Benchmark

    • On paper, 860 Evo specs are better, but that's expected. 860 Evo was released to fight MX500 because MX500 introduced 5 year warranty, forcing Samsung to replace 850 Evo with 860 Evo. Endurance rating also get a bump to compete.

      Realistically, just get the cheaper one.

    • +2

      The Samsung EVO series is considered to be better 'overall' but in terms of value for money it depends on what you are doing and what the actual dollars are on the day. e.g. if you find a MX500 for $50 cheaper it could be 'better' if you just wanted a boot drive..

      The Samsung has better write performance and overall sustained write throughput.

      • Thanks for the info. The reason I ask is I ordered the Crucial 1tb SSD from Amazon 2 days ago for $169 (+ $5.38 cash back) and wondering if I should cancel that order before it's shipped. I think it's too late to cancel and probably not worth the effort since the Samsung is about the same price.

        • If you are thinking about it, then check with Amazon CSR to find out whether they can still cancel for you.

          Not sure whether you claimed these Samsung SSD promotion before, you need to open the package, take a photo of the SSD with serial number and also have a photo of the invoice. Also plan for Samsung to take 2 (business days to verify the photos you sent) + 14 (business days) for sending you the game code. It really comes down to whether you want the game or not.

          • @netsurfer: Yes I just checked with Amazon and they can cancel it but there’s one more step than usual because it’s in an “advanced” pre shipping stage.
            I bought this Samsung SSD after Amazon chat reassured me the refund will go ahead.

        • you could sell the borderlands 3 code for $50 easily. So this is a much better deal.

          • @coolhand: Yeah I might sell the game code if possible as I’m not really into Battlefields

            • @JTTheMan: You need to watch out selling digital items, especially on eBay. Generally, if you simply e-mail the code to the buyer, there is zero seller protection. Sending using registered post is better, but the buyer will get annoyed - because buyers buying digital game codes tend to want them right away.

              • @netsurfer: Yeah, I'm not sure what the best way to sell is but that sounds like the smartest option. Cheers for the advice!

            • @JTTheMan: Battlefields?

        • If you're a Prime member, you're entitled to their free returns program. If the goods have been shipped, just apply a return and send them back (at no cost for goods bought in Australia, international requires extra step but it's also free*)

          • @Scythic: Yes I just realised this after chatting with them. It doesn't matter if it's shipped I can still get a full refund.

  • Pretty cool deal.

  • +1

    borderlands 3 not worth 79, 69 at best, as were from ozbargain here, thats what its selling for at harvey norman, we take the lowest price available not the RRP! - who buys at RRP??

    • +5

      It will be 39 in a few weeks.

    • +2

      It was $60 once, give it 3 months to see it around $49 and 6 months for $29.

    • +1

      When I looked at this deal , I value Borderlands 3 at $60, so getting a 1TB SamSung SSD for $99 delivered is quite a bargain for me at least

    • +4

      No, you have to open it and photograph the serial number to claim.
      Also that's really dishonest, what of the next person to buy it only to find someone else has claimed it?

      • -6

        Pretty sure you can return products after opening it

        • +3

          yeh you can do that… and you can also just steal stuff so yeh.

          • @Jaduqimon: Pretty sure there’s a seal on the packaging to indicate if it’s been opened

            • @FireRunner: well the thing is if you buy from ebay and open dispute as item not as described. send it back with a blank box and you still get a refund. so what he's saying is no different to stealing.

  • If only the M.2. variant was available at this price, CA sells it at $60 more

  • BAM
    Ordered!!

  • woot, woot, just bought

  • Thanks OP.

    Just bought one!

  • For Your Info - as of two minutes ago, there are 478 units remaining - and they are going fast.

    • How can you tell how many are available?

      edit worked it out, all you need to do is put in X amount and see if wants you to change the quantity. Now there is 365 remaining.

  • I guess this makes up for my cancelled T5 order from last week.

  • Just get one, cheers! Wondering whether get one more to get the TRDS :D

  • Would of defintely bought this if i didnt already get bl3.

  • +1

    how much would ozb pay for a copy of borderlands 3?

    • Probably be hit with low ball offers which is why i wont be buying this ssd with the hope of reselling bl3.

      Especially with all the omg epic games how can u support etc etc…

  • +1

    Does anyone have a link to a m.2 version at a similar price? Or are the prices between the 2 form factors more than $40 apart?

  • +1

    Tried 3 times, seller has made changes to item….tried a 4th time and code expired….

    :(

    Edit: Re-did on Paypal and it works!

    Finally!

    Thanks OP

  • Thanks OP, snagged one. I didn't really need any of these but I am a fan of the first BL game, the second, not so much. But this will motivate me to finish the second one first before diving into BL3.

    The SSD will be handy for business purposes, not really needed but it's a nice to have. Time to shop for an enclosure, seems like Orico is the way to go as it has more reviews than any product so it gives me assurance that the product is tried and tested.

  • How are you reselling the PC code?
    Concerned that a dodgy buyer may pay by PayPal, then lodge a PayPal case claiming that the code has been used.
    How do you get around this?

    • +1

      Bank transfer, cash in hand, bit coin

    • Selling anything via paypal is a mess, the buyer is always right and there's nothing you can do about it!

    • Intangible goods, like music or vouchers. If you can’t ship it, we can’t refund it
      This would mean no case for them. Paypal refunds don't apply to intangible goods.
