Hey OzB, First Post, I've been looking at this for a while and snagged it as soon as I saw it at this price, so I thought I should let everyone know.
Let me know if there's any issues.
Thanks. :)

Is it worth the extra $77 over the 2TB SN770?
Depends on your PC.
With an i5-11400 and ASUS TUF Gaming B560M-PLUS WiFi. I believe I can use PCIe 4.0, and was wondering whether I should go for this or SN770. Need for both gaming and productivity tasks.
For gaming? Not worth it.
For productivity tasks, that would depend on how intense they are.
Maybe for productivity, large video exports, but for gaming, Gen 3 and gen 4 nvme load about the same time and in some cases Gen 4 loads slower. I just purchased gen 3 2tb on the basis of this video.

link to gen3 2tb please?
Edit: guessing it’s this for $331

Yea I think so, but I got it for $230 aud

if you want more storage and the speed then yes lol. Its up to u really what your using it for.
It is if you're one of the very few people who have a system already capable of maxing out the sn770 to begin with or perform a sustained (300gb+) writes often. Otherwise the 850 will be superseded before you ever notice a difference.
If you need to ask, no.
I noticed as well but I will pass.
This doesn't come with a heatsink FYI
It's over that magical $300, will have to hold on until it meets that friendly number.
Thanks for the update.
Get it for under $300 using the advice in my comment below mate
Great value. Well spotted OP.
You can get it for under $300 if you add a second item to your cart to take advantage of the Buy 2, save 7% offer.
Cheapest thing I could quickly find was this magic eraser for $7: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B01LZW65W1/ref=ox_sc_ac…
Adding that to my cart brought the total down to $298.55 delivered.
Well played!
o crap is that or all items? if you buy 2 get 7% off maybe this is something to do with the WD 1tb is as well.
Doesn't apply to the 1TB for my account
1TB isn't included. Full list of items here https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/promotion/landingpage/AL8UE630U…
I hadn't thought of this! I found some $4.74 tennis balls?

I can go you one better. Pencil sharpener for $3.08: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B01E1SJ17Y?m=A4XRJ8S0WXSO0&ref=…
Thanks much mate!
How can I get this offer? Is this deal finished?
Seems this item is no longer eligible for this offer
Available right now for another hour.
What specs should I look for on an NVMe SSD that would make it laptop-friendly? i.e. won't melt a hole in your laptop without a heatsink.
I hadn't even considered that until I read it on a comment here the other day, but now that I think of it my NVMe in a USB enclosure gets damn hot with sustained transfers
that is very very cheap I am not going to lie
It is very very cheap. Bought it for $389 2 months ago.
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00889Z3UC
I couldn't find anything cheaper than these $1.57 items which brings the total price down to $293.93
Grabbed 1 at this price. Thanks so much!
Great find mate. You're a legend!
Really OzBargainer!
There is some Cons here :
-Can get hot under heavy load
-High idle power consumption on desktops
-Lacks AES 256-bit hardware encryption
I am using it for gaming and programming should I worry about them?
No, but if you're just gaming and programming this is probably overkill
edit: nvm just saw your username
just apply a heatsink, it will be fine.
Got one, could not resist the price, lol
Who can advise good heatsink for PS5?
I got this one after seeing someone link it on another post. Checked out the reviews, looks good - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09HSQQWCL?psc=1&smid=A3US3H5N7…
This looks … strange
Lots of things look strange. And fit!
@WhyAmICommenting: this looks like a lid replacement, its look like not touching the ssd
Edit: it does, its just thicc
Adding $35 sounds pricey but I don’t have a good sense of pricing of these things… is a heat sink essential for PS5?
I'm looking at this one after reading the reviews;
https://www.amazon.com.au/ElecGear-Heatsink-EL-P5C-Playstati…
Overall, better speed and warranty policy than US version 980 Pro
2tb always costs a little more than 1tb times 2? I already have 1 ssd in my computer, do I need a second ssd for computer?
Was going to buy 1tb with heatsink for ps5 now tempted to buy this for computer!
the sn750 2TB was $220~$230ish…gone!
Missed this one too while thinking about it! Thought the ssd deals would last longer!
Solid! Price back up to $377.32 now though
Be careful guys there's a sn750 2tb showing up for same ish price don't get that one
The deal lasted only for 4 hours?
Looks like it was a good price.
Should still be live till 5pm I think.
back in stock
Available at $314 again. Quick ~
They removed the 2 for 7% offer though
What heatsink is best to buy for this SSD?
Just do a search or either of these will do the job
