    Still waiting for mine to arrive from UK ordered it 20th November, received full refund from Amazon but it has been shipped…. who know it will come…

    • olcrackerjack on 09/01/2023 - 12:13

      If you've received a refund I doubt it is still going to arrive unless you are still getting tracking updates?
      I've ordered from both Amazon UK and Amazon US in the past two months for this drive and both have arrived within the allocated delivery window

      • DonkyWonky on 09/01/2023 - 12:24

        Yeah its probably not going to arrive, I'm not receiving tracking updates, the last update was in November. I just ordered it again, pretty much the same price as i bought it for last time so hopefully it arrives this time.

        • assus1 on 09/01/2023 - 12:49

          Try contacting the shipping company. i had a similar situation before and able to get the item even after 2 months+. Therefore, I received the item for free

          • DonkyWonky on 09/01/2023 - 14:27

            @assus1: Maybe, to submit a missing item form i need the tracking number which I have saying "delivery By Australia Post Global" but it says the tracking number is invalid and isn't in their system now.

                  good luck hope this can help.

    Australia Post managed to some how lose both this coming from Amazon UK (ordered in November 2022) and the $909 6900 XT coming from Amazon US (ordered in October 2022). Showed tracking info being picked up on arrival in Sydney, a few updates around Sydney, then nothing. Extremely dodgy, contacted AusPost received 'sorry we made all reasonable checks and don't know where it went' replies both times. At least I got a full refund from Amazon after AusPost let me know they had no effing idea what happened each time

        Got a link to previous deal that was cheaper for this drive?

        • thousandsuns on 09/01/2023 - 15:29

          I paid $265 with WP cashback from the last deal but including heat sink. Deal alone without cashback is OK. However, you'll need to add a heatsink so that doesn't to make it as attractive as it seems.

          • olcrackerjack on 09/01/2023 - 16:06
            +4

            @thousandsuns: So excluding cashback to make it like-for-like, you paid $299.35 delivered, and this deal is $272.67 delivered with a free calendar—-couple that with this $16.99 heat-sink the total comes to $289.66.

            So (a) this drive hasn't been cheaper in the past like you initially claimed, and (b) you can get a comparable product to the heat-sink version for $10 less and a bonus calendar with this deal. I understand that point (b) is debatable as its heavily subjective what is "comparable" but I think you're knocking this deal unjustifiably.

            • taki on 09/01/2023 - 16:19

              @olcrackerjack: If you're smart enough, you're buying with cashback, aren't you? Otherwise, the majority of the deals aren't the best ones out there. Given that the price I got, it is through WP cashback, perhaps a different story, but there are often 10% cashback rounds on a periodic basis.
              Why make a like-for-like comparison? These things drop in price throughout the year. If you want the best price, you would wait around for a decent sale plus cashback.
              I'm not knocking the deal, lol.
              Also, the "free" calendar is pointless. I would rather have a free heatsink.

              Also, sorry, correction from my end! With a bookmark, I paid $283.33 without cashback! So, for me, it worked out to be $258.33 with a heatsink! #WINNING!

                @thousandsuns: Siphoning personal data to third-party companies in exchange for cashbacks that take 3 months to process doesn't get me awfully excited, no.

                For the same reason all the posts in this forum exclude the sub-deals, cashbacks, offers, free gifts, membership discounts etc. from the initial price—-it allows for easy comparison. Nothing worse than trying to shop for something and having to compare across 5 different metrics whether you're actually getting a decent deal or just being bamboozled by marketing.

                You literally responded to "This is a Solid SSD deal" with an exclamatory "Nope! Been cheaper in the past!". On a bargain site from my perspective, that is knocking a deal, but I'm glad to hear that wasn't what you were trying to do.

                For you it might be pointless, but for others it'll be useful or a gift to friend, who knows. I'm sure there's a lot of things people would rather have for free.

                Congratulations, you are winning.

                @thousandsuns: 10% cashback on Amazon on all categories occurs once in a blue moon. Secondly, those promotions are capped, so people may choose to use their single $25 cashback on an even more infrequently discounted item. If you bundle this deal with an item you actually want, the SSD winds up being $261.78 by itself.

                • thousandsuns on 09/01/2023 - 17:22

                  @SydStrand: I did say that even without cashback, I paid $283.33? That is still a better deal than this, considering you get a factory heatsink for an extra $10.66. Even if you consider it to be just normal cashback, which falls under 1.4%, that is another potential $3.96 you can knock off, which brings it down to $279.97. IMO, that's a better deal.
                  Considering almost everyone here uses some form of cashback, I would not rule it out from it being the "cheapest" possible price you can get it for.

                  • SydStrand on 09/01/2023 - 20:01
                    +3

                    @thousandsuns: Ignore cashback, because it's not a like-for-like comparison. $25 cashback, presumably from a promotion like this is capped per user. I used mine on other items, doesn't make them historic lows, just like using discounted gift cards. Now, if you think that an included heat sink is worth $20, that's cool. But if you're intending to use this in a PC build, it's probably pointless since your motherboard includes them.

                    • thousandsuns on 09/01/2023 - 20:53

                      @SydStrand: OK the heatsink was not $20. If you apply the same principle here it was 5% off with the bookmark bundle so the $290.39 SSD (with heatsink) ended up being $275.88. So the heatsink was ~$14.10.
                      This entire conversation is pointless anyway. For me, I personally scored it for $250.88 with a heatsink during the WP bonus CB promo.
                      If you want the cheapest deal, you add CB to the equation. Otherwise, you're not getting the best value possible.
                      Agree for a PC, a heatsink is not necessary.

                        @thousandsuns: I'm not saying don't use cashback, but that you're not comparing like-for-like. A one-off, individual cashback during a Christmas promotion doesn't make a 'historic low.' That's why there weren't thousands of individual posts polluting the front page with every little thing available on Amazon AU while that deal was active. The conversation is pointless, but you put your hand up to argue this has been lower by splitting hairs over $3.96 and included heatsinks.

                        • thousandsuns on 09/01/2023 - 21:38

                          In my books, $250.88 < $261.78.
                          My point is that if you wait around and combine with CB, you can get the best value around. That is the point of saying you could have gotten it cheaper. It is still the same SSD barring the heatsink. So it is not like I'm comparing apples with oranges.
                          Anyway, it's not a bad deal, but not the best either.

    What is meant by compatible with a ps5 with a heatsink

    This this drive normally need a heatsink? or any cooling solution? Or is it only when in the confined spaces of a Ps5

    • keyman on 09/01/2023 - 13:23
      +1

      Only in confined spaces of a PS5.

      If the drive gets too hot, it may thottle and affect performance but in having said that, Tom's Hardware did a test and although the temperatures are about 10 degrees higher they found no issues with performance. This is because reads are not very stressful for a drive and once a game is installed, almost all operations will be read and not write.

      https://www.tomshardware.com/features/ps5-ssd-upgrade-temper…

      But you may still want to install a heatsink anyway as it may improve drive longevity?

    • olcrackerjack on 09/01/2023 - 14:39

      It meets the speed requirements for a PS5 but "they" recommend a heatsink. I've recommended to people in the past that they buy one, if it throttles given the thermal environment in which its employed, then just buy a heatsink for $15-25

    • netsurfer on 09/01/2023 - 16:31

      Sony recommends people getting a heatsink because the place you put the m.2 NVMe SSD doesn't have great air circulation. In reality, unless you get a subpar PCIe gen 4 SSD with a very lousy controller, it is unlikely PS5 would cause the SSD to throttle.

      • PS5's internal SSD is too small so there is no chance you manage to fill this SSD to nearly full via moving all the files from the internal SSD.
      • It is, however, possible to have the SSD reached thermal throttle state when used within a PC (not easy for general public, but if you do work on large amount of data writes (+ complex mixed reads/writes), you can get the SSD to throttle. So, it is worth considering getting a heatsink if you intend to use it with a PC.
      • Using the heatsink does not improve performance under normal condition, its main objective is avoid having the SSD entered thermal throttle state.

      For PS5, might as well get one (because Sony recommends it and it is not that fun to open the panel to put in the SSD, so might as well do it in one go).

      I assume you mean when the P5 plus is on sale.
      This is slightly faster, but it's also slightly more expensive than crucial when it's on sale.
      It depends how much you value having the vague peace of mind you get from having extremely high end hardware.
      Don't get the crucial over this unless the crucial's like ~$250 though.

      • Sim69 on 09/01/2023 - 14:00

        Yeah, was thinking this vs the P5 Plus at about $250, where it was a few weeks ago. Thanks for the help :)

    • olcrackerjack on 09/01/2023 - 14:36

      I bought the P5 Plus in the last deal, it takes 1-2min to load the drive in Windows Explorer when using an external NVMe enclosure whereas the SN850X and KC3000 drives I've used in the same enclosure are detected within 2-5 seconds upon plugging in. It might just be a dud unit but I'll be paying a little more in future to just get a higher-end Gen 4 drive like the SN850X

    If just buying one, you should be able to find a second valid item to trigger the "buy 2, save X" for a minor discount. The previously-preferred landfill is sold out or otherwise not valid. You can't sort by price so I'm not sure if it's the best option, but there's rubber bands for $11.57 which would bring the price of a single drive down to ~$272.77 (and you get a random item like this as a bonus).

    Try to buy an item you might actually use lol.

    Unfortunately I just noticed this when checking tracking website details (there have been no email updates):

    Package was damaged and will be returned.

    I suspect shenanigans tbh, and I had specifically taken the long weekend aside to rebuild onto a new drive, not some maybe future date in March.
