SSD is $56 cheaper than the Amazon US deal earlier this month and this is local stock.
Nvidia SHIELD TV 4K Streaming Media Player - $199 + Shipping (Starts 7PM AEDT). Was the same price at SE just over a week ago but it has + shipping this time. Another chance to grab it for those that missed out on that.

I wouldn't have posted the deal if it wasn't
that's some explosive sass you've got lol. yeah looks like a good deal
@vietbargain the wise camels have $535 as the lowest ever price for this https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B08FWY81LM?context=se…
I know there's other 2tb m2 ssd cards for cheaper but don't know the different features offered e.g pcie 4.
Thanks for the responses!
Yes very. Especially because it is pcie gen 4. Faster than normal nvme
It's 'cheaper' in comparison to normal RRP, but hardly a cheap drive. It's a fairly good drive - I've built high performance systems with them before for that very reason. But today, for that kind of money, I'd definitely think carefully about dropping an extra $150 and get an SN850 2TB, which will wipe the floor with it.
Where is the sn850 for $630?
Sorry, that was pre-GST price, my mistake. It's actually ~$700 landed
Was really tempted buy this nvme deal but I just think if I plan to go there, why not go all the way and get a 980 pro or the recently released Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus.
Are you joking? SN850. I don't think I even need to say more than that - I expect within the next five minutes you'll be collecting your chin off the floor. You're welcome.
Nah that thing is way too expensive. It's like $800 or something ridiculous here for the 2tb. Rocket 4 plus 2tb is $400 USD, much better value.
Slightly under $700 today :-)
And 'value' is all about the value you place on it - to some, that kind of performance is an absolute steal. But for anyone who won't actually benefit from it, that would of course be an absolutely insane purchase!
@TrevorX: SN850 is the same speeds as 980 pro, no?
In the 1tb to 1tb comparisons I've seen.
Why are you fanboying the WD? Just curious is all 😎
@Jay-rad: The SN850 definitely trades blows with the 980 Pro in some areas, but it has faster read performance and significantly higher random writes. Importantly it appears to pull a fair way ahead when it comes to real world performance roundups. It has higher latency, but the result of that doesn't seem to impact overall performance, and most testing I've read hasn't added any additional cooling to the drive, despite it often skirting the drive's thermal limits, so a heatsink and active cooling should really help it stretch its legs.
Not ideologically or financially invested in WD in any way, just appreciate what this drive is capable of :-)
@TrevorX: Been reading a lot of the gen4 nvme info and this wasnt on my radar but solid selling points :) cheers
I'm just going to chime in here to add my two cents having had spent many hours reading/watching reviews of this NVME to other models when choosing an nvme drive.
On paper these Gen4 NVME's look amazing and will blow your socks off if the marketing material is to be believed, a 30-50% sequential read/write speed increase, however, does not translate to 30-50% increased loading speed of applications and by getting a Gen3 SSD the money you save you can invest in perhaps extra ram and get better user experiences (depending on your use case).
Very few situations require writing so many gigs of data sequentially (steam game updates where pre-allocation occurs comes to mind) where these Gen4's fly (and heat up), and once they fill up their SLC cache they slow down. For example a Kingston A2000 (~$140) will write at 2000Mb per sec till it writes 147Gb (https://www.techpowerup.com/review/kingston-a2000-1-tb-m-2-n…) compared to the aorus nvme (with the big heatsink prior edition) (https://thinkcomputers.org/aorus-nvme-gen4-ssd-review/6/) which after what visually looks like writing 2 or 3% (36Gb~54Gb) to drops to 1700Mb'ish per second so based on published reviews the Kingston would actually write more data for longer before the Aorus overtook it.
DirectStorage once on the PC should hopefully result in noticeable speed loading of games (nvme vs ssd youtube videos show a few milliseconds to a 3-4 seconds loading difference)
I for the uninitiated, is the 2tb ssd nvme cheap?
