    I need to check, I think I'm still waiting for Samsung cash back from the last deal they had a month or few ago.

      Yeah, I hate these type of deals, so many cashbacks I've never received from past deals. Used all my correct details, triple checked, but nope nothing. Contact the company and end up in an endless loop of nonsense. Unless it's direct from the manufacturer, I can't be bothered.

      • Scamback, use your money to invest that you never receive back half the time

      Just a follow up, my previous one was back 30 July 2019 and I received my cash back on 20th AUG 2019.

    • Still waiting for my Samsung cash back, it's nearly a month now.

    • I know eh? how bloody long does it take for them to cashback 16 bucks…..

    • Thanks for the reminder to follow up as they still haven't paid my one that was approved back in September the dirty dogs.

  • Is it compatible with the Early 2015 MacBook pro 13 inch?

      No, you'll need an m.2 drive, alongside a few other complications

  • Would this be useful for placing in a PS4?

    • No, as I've read and heard a SSD in a console doesn't do much compared to if you were to put it in a PC. Yes, it does seem logical that it would make your console better, but not so much that it is worth the $153

      The drive is 6.8mm thick so it'll easily fit in a ps4, if the load time decreases is worth it is really up to you.

      This article has some load time comparisons: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-ps4-p…

      i put mine in ps4 and it works well, loading speed improved a lot, but gaming performance doesn't change much, like frame rate etc.

      Thats a 'QVO' Model its slower and only comes with a 3 year warranty. The 'EVO' Model that OP has posted is a 5 year warranty drive and is faster. IMO the 2 year extra warranty is well worth the extra $30-$40 extra.

    • +3

      That is the 860 QVO instead of the EVO, the QVO uses QLC instead of TLC flash which the EVO uses. QLC compared to TLC is a fair amount less durable, and while performance for small transfers is similar, performance for large transfers drops off a lot. Well worth the extra few dollars for the EVO, especially considering a longer warranty as well.

        Sorry - my bad. Thanks for pointing out.

    Just so you know that there is a fee if you use Paypal and its about $2. I bought it yesterday and was glad that I got free shipping, I found it through Google Shopping and I didn't realize it was a good enough deal to put it on OzBargin. Thanks OP nevertheless, its a great deal for a 5 year warranty SSD.

    Thanks OP, been waiting for this deal

  • +2

    OP! thank you! Even with the $2 surcharge on paypal this was an awesome purchase - Been waiting since Dec last year for this.
    Much appreciated :)

    • +1

      Haven't heard merchants got PayPal surcharge until this deal.

      • Yes you're right, strange surcharges. Usually its just for cards.
        The shipping was free for my area so I pulled the trigger anyway. (=

  • +2

    Add an extra few bucks for shipping if you live outside a capital

  • No postage to PO boxes or Parcel Lockers :(

  • Looks like this has gone up to $175. (Unless I’m missing something?)

    • Thanks. I've marked it as expired
