    Not really seeing the bargain here.

      ikr, price increase ($88.29 —> $101.23), tech downgrade (Gen 4 —> Gen 3), etc but I guess it's good for people who missed out previously.

                @R3XNebular: They already clearly know about if all my orders were canceled and everyone ells's orders too, was before i had anyway. I contacted support to try and bump it back but that did not work. They have data sheets to show the error they made anyway it would have made 0 difference

            @BinChicken69: I was going to say that you should have been through this quite a few times but maybe not:

            Member Since: 07/06/2022

            With the WD deal which could be a price error, you should be prepared for cancellation.

            @BinChicken69: I don’t think anybody got them. Everyone was cancelled. I got in very early and only ordered two.

        Yeah, I'm cranky coz I missed out on the WD deals.

        • DogeConomy on 18/11/2022 - 23:15

          The only reason why I caught onto the WD deals was by a camelcamelcamel tracking email that popped into my inbox regarding the 12tb WD book external hard drive, which had sold out by the time I got onto amazon. I then checked ozbargain to confirm that they weren't trolling me with a false notification, so I saw the absolutely bonkers black friday sale that was happening.

          • pacificstorm on 19/11/2022 - 03:48

            @DogeConomy: What deal was this? Link please.

            • DogeConomy on 19/11/2022 - 09:21

              @pacificstorm: READ my comment thoroughly, I mentioned that it sold out once I opened Amazon.

              …regarding the 12tb WD book external hard drive, which had sold out by the time I got onto amazon.

          Aren't they all getting cancelled anyway?

  • ThirtySixNights on 18/11/2022 - 23:11

    It seems, ok. I feel like the sweet spot is 500gb gen 4 top end and then 2tb dramless gen3.

    First time I've actually seen a Kioxia drive for retail purchase

  • DogeConomy on 18/11/2022 - 23:47

    Is this drive deal okay, I'm considering whether it'd be a good deal since it's currently only a couple of bucks cheaper than other retailers… (and slower than the 1tb SN570 WD drive I was looking at before)

    • FeZZa21 on 18/11/2022 - 23:52

      I have the sn570, pretty good for a dramless SSD, best bang for the buck

    • FireRunner on 19/11/2022 - 00:17
      +1

      This one will perform better with large writes due to the DRAM cache.

      • FeZZa21 on 19/11/2022 - 00:21

        Yes will be better for sustained writes

    • Look Up on 19/11/2022 - 01:28

      SN570 currently going for $11+ more than this Kioxia

      The extra cash gets you 50% more sequential read, 100% more sequential write and 200TB more endurance

      The question is whether you will notice these bigger numbers in a typical Gen 3 system and if the lack of DRAM will cripple any write heavy workloads

      The Kioxia can write 1500 MB/s sustained with no drop off

      The SN570 can write 2500 MB/s for 2 seconds before dropping off to < 600 MB/s ie. the Kioxia is 250% faster after 2 seconds which is very noticeable

      • netsurfer on 19/11/2022 - 08:24

        The main reason you would go for this Kioxia G2 is if you have situation(s) where you want DRAM on the SSD.

        SN570, I have mixed feeling about it. It feels more like a rebranded, original batch of SN550 (before WD did the NAND swap). Also, Kingston NV2 1TB @ $99 makes it hard to get excited about SN570, which honestly, was reviewed a while back by most sites.

  • VoidIvory on 19/11/2022 - 01:28

    this price and has DRAM, actually doable

    Bought 2 thanks op, hope the dram helps my 920+ NAS build

  • shabaka on 19/11/2022 - 12:19

    what is this, 850X cancellation consolation? lol

    mine got cancelled of course

    Wow - never heard of Kioxia but looked them up on wikipedia & they are essentially a spin-off from Toshiba Memory Corp & now 40% owned by Toshiba (the inventor of flash memory) & 55% by Bain Corp (that bought Virgin Australia).
    They bought OCZ some time back & also Lite-On' SSD business more recently.
    WD uses their facility for making their flash memory chips.

    • wackedupwacko on 19/11/2022 - 19:05

      I think they're more in the enterprise space as well as manufacturing for others. They just haven't forayed that much into retail consumer market with marketing but i remember LTT mentioning very good things about the company.

    • giordan0 on 20/11/2022 - 00:33

      They manufacture OEM ssd for both Dell and Lenovo laptop products.
