    That link shows 98 instead of 89

    • V003 on 08/12/2020 - 09:40

        Ah, I got it now. I was assuming the other way around. Use the JB link to get a lower price at OW. All good.

    This is so much lower than the previous prices for this sort of SSD external/portable drive!

    What on earth is happening? I bought T5 500gbs 1-2 years ago they were like 200.

      Prices are getting reduced. In another year this should cost 70$.

      Time happened

    • TimR31 on 08/12/2020 - 14:05

      This might be a part of it.

      TL;dr There's an oversupply in the market

      • Icedog1981 on 08/12/2020 - 15:27

        Was bought in for end of year sales and back to school etc. Looks like consumers win.

    This or the thunderbolt 3 - 40 Gbps enclosure with NVMe drive?
    https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07YB4DDRB

    0.5 Gbps versus 40 Gbps but you would be paying 3x as much?

    Edit: not really 40 Gbps - catch:
    read: 2700+ MB/s, write: 1500+ MB/s.Not all Thunderbolt 3 computers are x4 full speed, part of which maybe x2

    • mrhashish on 08/12/2020 - 11:29

      The drive inside the t5 is an OEM vers of Evo 850/860 from memory. M.2 sata not nvme. You're probably thinking of the t7

    • Droz on 08/12/2020 - 12:35

      That enclosure seems expensive - I think there are more that do the same for about $50… Or at least a USB 3.1 Gen 2 enclosure that does NVME drives.

      Not sure how thunderbolt changes anything, but the fastest USB 3 ones cap out of 10GBPS theoretical, but probably around/better than the speeds you mentioned for read/write (depending on the drive you get with it)

    • SEasternCry on 08/12/2020 - 12:55

      holy.. that enclosure is $136.99 compared to orico ones usually found at ~$10. Is there really a huge difference?
      edit: I'm always debating whether a simple T2 SSD vs an enclosure + internal SSD is worth it.

      • Droz on 08/12/2020 - 13:15
        +1

        The Orico ones for ~10 won't be the NVME USB 3.1 Gen 2 ones - they'll be NVME enclosure with SATA or slower USB 3 hardware inside…

        The T7 for about $100 the other day was a great buy because it was the fast connection with large capacity.

        The downside is that you can't use your own drives in, so once the SSD inside is cooked, you won't be able to replace it without buying another (That's probably not too much of an issue, but it's nice to have the option)

    a good expansion drive for m1 macbook air??

    • narcoleptic-haze on 08/12/2020 - 12:27

      definitely, I have one for my 2018 macbook pro

    • evadw on 08/12/2020 - 12:54

      I have an Air M1 on the way, and I ordered a T7 yesterday. So of course the T7 went on sale today…

    • Asx10000 on 08/12/2020 - 13:15

      Yep, I got one last time at $88 from OW. installed a win10 on half of it, leaving the other half as expansion. It works beautifully, you wouldn't think the windows is on an external drive at all. I did play some game and run 3D modelling software on it.

      • Worf on 08/12/2020 - 21:05

        Nice! Can you run windows on M1?

        • Asx10000 on 08/12/2020 - 21:38

          No… unless you are a super hacker, lol

  • doomsie on 08/12/2020 - 12:43

    Got this one from Bing Lee 2 weeks ago for $69 after $20 Latitude pay cashback. Haven't opened it yet.

  • Bal on 08/12/2020 - 14:09

    Got one and saved 5% with AAMI lucky club gift card.

  • bruceclipse on 08/12/2020 - 15:16

    How long is this deal going to last?

  • Gaz1 on 08/12/2020 - 15:47

    This is the old model & there seems to be a large amount of stock at a lot of retailers which is creating a bit of a price war to clear stock.

    • bruceclipse on 08/12/2020 - 17:09

      So i will wait til tomorrow to purchase this with 10% discount using those TCN gift cards.

    I had a few JB gift cards laying about so I grabbed one… nice storage boost to my gaming lappie connecting it with usb type-C.
    Thanks OP.
