    And it’s gone

  • That was quick

  • To quick

  • +34

    amazon with their massive supply of 1 item in stock

    • Yeah dont bother its already sold just not updated.

  • Thanks, TGG cancelled my order even though got in super early with their deal this morning. Don't have to drive 20kms for this one and my gift cards cancel most of the difference in price anyway! Hope they don't cancel this one though

  • Ordered, hope they honour it

    • Its amazon, of course they will!

      • Nice, didn't realise it's amazon inventory

      • +1

        Not always, I ordered a Razer Viper 8KHz when they were stupid cheap, Amazon never sent it after a few months and the chat rep I talked to just offered to cancel the order with no recourse (Amazon stock too)

        • I thnk really depends, I received my pink Razer Seiren Mini mic for $17.44.

  • Amazon why you do me like this! :(

  • Says one left in stock. Go go go go go

  • -2

    tooooooooooooooooo quick all gone with "1 left in stock"

  • So damn fast…

  • +1

    STOP TEASING ME!!

    • And downvote if you didn’t?

  • -3

    Someone can use this to price match elsewhere perhaps haha.

    E: Finally stock updated.

  • Haha everyone keeps adding that elusive “1 item in stock”

  • +1

    Just do a price protection claim. Couldn't do it with TGG as they don't price protect clearance but Amazon listing doesn't state clearance anywhere.

    • Can I do this for a product that I can buy later today and claim for this listing?

  • So quick

  • yes so quick!.

    whats the best use for all these SSD?

    • +1

      For a prankster:

      • Steal other people's fingerprints
      • Bootable SSD with virus and hacking software
      • Show off (you managed to score one or more)
    • +1

      Other people:

      • Bootable SSD (for trying out Windows 11, latest Mac OS, linux etc…)
      • Store games
      • Portable SSD on the go
      • Videos

    worst then toilet paper during covid peak

  • waiting for the black version to go down now.

    • Need to check with people who managed to get one (or some). Suspect black might also had a price drop initially. It seems like Amazon AU only has blue (and maybe red) in stock.

      • I doubt it will, all the SSD's have been removed off the websites of competitors, CamelCamelCamel (although unsure how quick they update their cache) doesn't show it dropped for black

        Edit: last scanned 2 hours ago

        • Agreed with you, but camelcamelcamel is not always accurate. There is an item I purchased on Amazon that's below what camelcamelcamel shows for all time lowest.

          I didn't click on the right one, Amazon still has T7 touch in stock for black.

      • They have 3 black in stock

        • This seller has a limit of 3 per customer. To see if more are available from another seller, go to the product detail page.

          seems like they are already in price-matching mode.

  • how do you get amazon to price match stuff?

    • You dont. Amazon themselves have some sort of scalping algorithm to price match competitors but its not like we can 'ask' to price match. Customer service wont either.

  • ripped. missed out

  • Too late to the party :(

  • Missed….

  • Comeone Amazon, make the black one $44 too :(

  • Awwww too late. And I wanted to rock the party too…

    I literally went to have lunch 5 mins before this was posted and missed out 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    nooooooooooo

    • +3

      Nah, nothing to regret. I was on when it was still 'In stock'. You could sporadically add it to your cart but couldn't check out. You had a better time having lunch.

  • 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

  • Can we open this and use as an internal ssd?

    • +1

      Based on a similar model T7 Shield 2TB, doesn't appear so. Single board solution it seems.

      USB 3.2 gen 2 based SSD solutions are somewhat interesting. The bandwidth and the chipset means we are looking at PCIe gen 3 x2. So, realistically, we are not looking at the top notch NVMe PCIe gen 3 x4 SSDs (coz. that would be pointless). Don't get me wrong, I have a T7 (1TB) myself. However, for my own custom external SSD with USB 3.2 gen 2 enclosure, I actually use a PCIe gen 3 x2 (yes, I know, hard to find one of those, but I just happen to have one).

    • +2

      You can get a 500Gb SSD for around the same price, why would you do this?

      • Where and which one? You know OZBers who scored one or more of these will factor in at least that $20 Steam card and count this as a $24 purchase. However, yes, you are right, this is really a low end NVMe offering from Samsung (22GB SLC cache, DRAMless, ~280MB write after SLC cache runs out).

      • A 10gbps one? SATA is slower than this T7 drive, so you would be looking at NVME drives.

        • Problem is, Samsung knows USB 3.2 gen 2 too well. Samsung knows it cannot even reach PCIe gen 3 x2. So, Samsung put in just enough to numb our brain. 500GB T7 has a 22GB SLC cache, once that runs out, its write speed is worse than T5. Even with my slowest PCIe gen 3 x2 NVMe SSD, by putting that into a USB 3.2 gen 2 enclosure, I am losing close to half of the speed.

          So, honestly, T7 is only worthwhile as an external SSD and at irresistible price, it makes sense. Otherwise, USB 3.2 gen 2 offerings are full of compromises. I know, for most of us, we will be pragmatic and tell ourselves that 1000MB/s (which this T7 cannot reach to be honest) is fast enough.

          • @netsurfer:

            1000MB/s (which this T7 cannot reach to be honest)

            CrystalDiskmark and Samsung Magician show 900-800MB/s write for me. 1000MB/s read.

            If I had an nvme, I would test via Windows explorer by copying a large file, using a 860 Evo SATA to copy from it caps out at 500MB/s.

  • 😢Missed

    How come I cannot see the same price ?

    • +6

      Coz its sold out?

  • Anyone able to help me out with a receipt so I can claim a price protection from 28 degrees?

    • -6

      can someone help this guy commit fraud pls!

    • How does this work? I have a28 degrees card but wasn't aware of price protection. Is this an additional service?

      • Price protection is a grandfathered service, they no longer offer it for new customers (I believe they dropped it back in 2019).

        And you had to opt into it, it wasn’t enabled by default. There’s a lifetime total limit of $20,000 that you can claim. It’s pretty brilliant, I use it regularly.

        • Nice. I've had it for a few years now. Vaguely remember something been offered during sign up. But i opted out as at the time the card was only intended for overseas spending.

  • Silver - 2 in-stock @ $126.99 :(

  • Mine was just delivered.

    PS: for anyone that was successful, don't forget to claim your $20 Steam Wallet Code

    • Nice, thx

  • Weirdly, i did the samsung magician and tried to update firmware but it failed midway due to the usb headers wigging out.. so now it says firmware 0..

    any ideas on how to re-flash the firmware outside magician software? cause i can't setup the touch sensor or anything now.
