Great price on the 500GB, maybe best ever on OzB , 1TB was recently cheaper on Amazon but $209 is still good.

Unless you throw them some messages/emails about you can't wait and want the refund. Worked for me
I just recently bought ram from shopping express and it came in a few days
Are you mixing up Shopping Express with Shopping Square?
YEP… that's the bad one :) Shopping Express is the good one… i get my stuff withing a day or two unless they are super busy with Christmas sales or black Friday,
My experience with shopping express was terrible. 12 working days waiting with no notice, and the day I requested for refund they dispatched my order.
When I ordered my GPU last month, they sent it the next day.
This or 970 Evo?
depends on what u need it for
Gaming primarily, rocking a 250gb 860 Evo m.2 and want Tom move games off old 750gb wd black hard disk
Edit in the 1tb size and assume both were the same price
for gaming sn550 is enough mate. There was a recent vid from Hardware Unboxed detailing most of these.
@kaleidoscope: I already got the Evo plus at $177 (well $176.40) after CB. I was doubting my decision
@furythree: it will show good improvement i believe even with pcie3. we just will have to wait till late next year for developer release and even longer for game devs to make use of it.
That's slower than 970 Evo plus.
I checked benchmarks on SN750 vs 970 Evo Plus. I'm happy I pulled the trigger on the Evo plus at $177 after CB. I had it in my head that the WD back was quicker and was doubting myself.
@DeeTrance: https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-970-Evo-Plus-N…
That's over 150,000 benchmarks comparing the 2 - I'll be fine with the 970 thanks.
@slimdealin: I think you would be too. 970 Evo Plus is a great SSD. I'd love to have one myself, and I would buy one in the future.
I picked up an Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB for $209 delivered off Amazon the other day, and in truth, if the 970 was at the same price I would have chosen it.@slimdealin: https://www.google.com/search?q=userbenchmark+bias
Very suspect ranking system, changes benchmark parameters on the fly. Best example i remember was the 12 core ryzen 9 3900x was on par with a dual core pentium.
I decided on the AData over the samsung. Price gap is too great and performance gap too little to consider them. Samsung need to start competing on price a little more without having to resort people to jumping through hoops (convoluted cashbacks schemes etc) to become even remotely competitive in price. Samsung DO make a nice drive, I'll give them that, but competition has caught up.
That's overpriced by at least $30-40
Show me where it's $30-$40 cheaper atm?
@DeeTrance: First of all - you shouldn't be negged - its a fair question.
Amazon and Umart have it for under $230
and Suncorp Rewards have Amazon gift cards at 3% discount.
$226.90 (Amazon) down to $220.09
And even then its still not a bargain - it's been around 209 several times this year.
I'll + vote you so you're closer to break even.
Personally, I'd be going for the WD_Black SN850 due for release next week. Fair bit more exy, though, at $225 for 500gb. That said, SN750 —- 3470/2600MB/s sequential read / write speeds. SN850 will give 7000/4100MB/s sequential read / write speed. Very shiny, stupid fast.
Some deets over here: http://www.digitalreviews.net/news/announcements/the-game-wa…
500GB seems to have 300 TBW (100 less than EVO 960 pro - which is ~10% more expensive).
Not bad.
Hmm how does this compare to
https://www.umart.com.au/Silicon-Power-512GB-NVMe-PCIe-Gen3x…
it's around the same price but slightly more storageIs this worth the premium over the Kingston A2000 as a boot drive?
For the average user no, if your usage is more prosumer then maybe. While $209 is a better price than usual, I wouldn't really call it a deal for normal consumer use as drives like the 970 Evo and other Phison E12 SSDs have been below $180 before and that's about where I'd consider making the price jump if you do have more intense workloads than average. Average person could just save the money as they won't notice a difference.
I can second the long wait times, however pestering them seems to work very well.
I ordered early last week and hadn't heard anything about my order, so sent them an email at 3:40pm today.
By 5:30 i had received an email from aus post saying that my order was being prepared.
Im not sure if they just have nothing on hand and are selling stock they dont have, or if they are just so far behind on orders that unless you ask where your order is, you just wait forever.
Either way, pretty lousy when most websites are either same day or next day dispatch.
Ssd prices are predicted to drop 10-15% in November due to the NAND market being in oversupply.
Thanks mate, got one in anticipation for my upcoming build. Hopefully shipping time's okay but no problem waiting (for now…) :)
Are these types of hard drives as good as SSD hard drives? I'm just a little ignorant about this new technology. I'm not about to buy a hard drive nor a device that has one built in but just wondering if they're a direct replacement for SSDs or if there's any downside to them. I'm wondering if my next notebook book will have room for a couple of these.
I'm not too sure what you are asking, these are a newer type of SSD and are much quicker than a SATA SSD.
Are they as good? They are better. They are also more expensive, but sometimes not by much and it's worth it.
They also connect directly to the motherboard and hence do not require a data and power cable, making your PC cable management a little cleaner.
Are they a direct replacement to (SATA) SSDs? I think so.
Downsides? A little more expensive
Will your next notebook have room for a couple of these? Lots of smaller laptops have their parts soldered on and don't leave room for additional parts. But some of the larger ones may have space for 1, but not sure about a few.Is it worth upgrading from SATA SSD? The difference between NVMe and SATA SSDs are not as big as the difference between SATA and spinning HDDs.
As food for thought, I upgraded from a SATA SSD and NVMe as a boot drive and I barely noticed the difference.
If you're doing data transfer sensitive work (content creation), you can only judge if the increased speed justifies the additional cost
Thanks for that.
Yep i've never had an SSD and I bought my last notebook around 3 years ago at which point SSDs were in notebooks but lower amounts of GB, 128, 256 or 500 GB SSD at a fairly large price hike, if I recall correctly.
I'm surprised to hear that SSDs have effectively been replaced by NVMe - I'll have to try to remember that term.
To me the price seems pretty reasonable.
I'm wondering if the increase in storage is roughly the same pace that it has been for SSDs? It'll take about another year or so for 1TB to be at the current 500GB price point? Give or take.
NVMe are a type of SSD, the more familiar type is called SATA SSD which uses the same connectors as Hard Drives
Awesome! Just bought one. Can't wait for it to arrive in 2023
