Ships in 2 to 5 weeks.

Just browsing Amazon and thought this was a good price just going by what I saw it was before.
Free shipping for everyone as it's over $39. No Prime sub necessary.

Same price as this recent Scorptec deal but that was C&C or + shipping costs. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/752773
Recent deal shows it was $65 on Amazon AU last time round. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/721671

1TB is $109 but that's been $85 from Amazon AU in the past.

Review from India seems to go pretty in depth on Crucial vs Samsung.

    Excellent SSD with which to refresh an older computer/laptop for your parents or kids.

  • THICKnSLOW on 05/02/2023 - 00:44

    No Prime, says $5.99 shipping

    • pennypincher98 on 05/02/2023 - 00:45

      Says free shipping for me. Sold and shipped by Amazon AU so there's no reason for it not to be.

        I added to cart and when I go to cart it says eligible for free shipping. Amazon website is weird, even out of stock items show up in search when I specifically untick 'include out of stock items'

        shrugs

      Yeah I can see the $5.99 shipping under the price now as well.

      But it wasn't there at the time of posting, it definitely said "Free delivery".
      Same with the orange text saying "Usually dispatched in..", that wasn't there either. So I think some kind of issue with the "Usually dispatched in" page it swaps over to when stock runs low.

  • umoddbro on 05/02/2023 - 00:52

    How much better is the MX over the BX? The 1TB BX500 is $85

    • MiscOzB on 05/02/2023 - 01:05

      No DRAM for starters on the BX.

      Show me a retail price for a 500GB branded name SSD with decent warranty (ie at least 30 days) for $25 and I'll order 10.

    • smartazz104 on 05/02/2023 - 12:24

      You gotta stop buying your storage from Wish.

      • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 05/02/2023 - 15:38

        So AP fell for the scam listings..

        Heard that story before. Ordered $20 4TB SSD from eBay/Wish. Received broken sunglasses. lol.

    • XCOM v2 on 05/02/2023 - 13:25

      Lmao link these $10 ones

    • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 05/02/2023 - 15:31

      I guess all the other comments beat me to it.

      But yeah can you please link to the Crucial MX500 for $10?
      I assume if it exists it's going to be grey stock. Because even after adding import fees and shipping it should come in under $55. I am sure a lot of people would be interested.

  • danielyl on 05/02/2023 - 07:13

    CentreCom $55 as well

  • jimmej on 05/02/2023 - 09:39

    Come someone explain why people want these old style disks over NVME? I have been installing NVME drivers into old PC's with PCIE adapters with great success.

    • DiscountForThee on 05/02/2023 - 09:57

      Price, and number of slots available

      Ps4 upgrade

    • Rumbaar on 05/02/2023 - 13:18
      +3

      Laptops, those system with already full PCIE slots. But why would you add two layers of failure, adding in an adapter + NVME drive, when a SSD can be installed in once complete unit for cheaper?

      • whats up skip on 05/02/2023 - 13:35
        +1

        Potentially the NVME drive would be faster than a SATA SSD. Of course not many people would notice the difference.

        • jimmej on 05/02/2023 - 14:42

          Not potentially. Actually. I challenge you to find an NVME drive slower than sata. If you can't tell the difference, you didn't need a new hard disk.

    • XCOM v2 on 05/02/2023 - 13:26

      Send a 500GB NVME link for $55 thanks

    • whats up skip on 05/02/2023 - 13:36

      Not all older systems can boot from NVME in a PCIE slot. Notebooks don't normally have accessible PCIE slots.

      • jimmej on 05/02/2023 - 14:41

        Always update the bios before trying. I am 3 from 3 on old PC's now. Worse case, boot from a SATA drive and then run everything else from NVME

    • doobey1231 on 05/02/2023 - 16:03
      +1

      I can fit 4 sata drives to my current build but I only have space to fit one nvme. PCIE slots are blocked by my gigantasaur gpu, given that's the norm these days I assume others in the same situation. SATA is plenty fast for games storage too so I have no reason to go out of my way to make the more expensive M.2 format work, my OS is already on m.2. The SSD upgrade applies to laptops too.

      the same sort of comments in every ssd deal lol.

    • paul09 on 05/02/2023 - 21:17

      These are also great for raspberry pi, run via usb3 adapter as OS drive provides a massive speed boost over SD cards

  • Gordzirra on 05/02/2023 - 09:53

      Looks like you are buying it from computer alliance so look to the right at other sellers, amazon is now on backorder 2-4 weeks

  • mikokik5 on 05/02/2023 - 10:31

    Wish the 1tb to be $85 again, Jeff do you hear me??

    • The Value on 05/02/2023 - 11:12

      500GB doesnt cut it if you only want a single drive.

  • The Value on 05/02/2023 - 11:14

    If you're looking to upgrade your PS4 to a SSD, go 1tb.

    • idonotknowwhy on 05/02/2023 - 16:23

      This one is perfect of PS3 or OG xbox with an IDE to SATA

  • PainToad on 05/02/2023 - 11:48

    Edit: my bad not expired

    • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 05/02/2023 - 15:33

      The price is still $55 and says ships in 2 to 4 weeks.

      Someone is still reporting the deal as "expired/out of stock" should the deal be expired now?

      • OZKap on 05/02/2023 - 16:44

        Could edit the title to start with [Backorder], I've seen that done before

        • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 05/02/2023 - 16:51

          Ok done.

          Delivery times are really blowing out lol. Was 2 to 3 weeks at first, then 4 weeks, now 5 weeks.

      Good find if you are local. 👍

  • ScroogeMcSpendthrift on 05/02/2023 - 16:54

    Centrecom have the 1TB version for $99. Not quite all time low, but reasonable none the less.

    https://www.centrecom.com.au/crucial-mx500-1tb-3d-nand-ssd

    • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 05/02/2023 - 16:56

      Free shipping? Otherwise if you add shipping it ends up equivalent to like $109 from Amazon AU.

      If you can walk into the store though might be the best price around if you need it right now.

      Edit: From a search seems like they replaced their "Free shipping for $75+" to "$5 flat rate shipping for $75+". So lower shipping price than I thought.

      • ScroogeMcSpendthrift on 05/02/2023 - 17:06

        Yes I get $5 estimate, but yeah that $99 is assuming a click and collect.

    • MiscOzB on 05/02/2023 - 20:24

      Expect Amazon to soon price match it, seems like they've been matching their prices lately, including this 500GB (although other stores also have the 500GB for $55).

  • MiscOzB on 06/02/2023 - 06:00
    +2

    And there it is, 1TB now $99.

  • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 14/02/2023 - 18:40

    Looks like Amazon AU stock is all gone. None available at $55 Shipped. Marked as OOS.

  • hamza23 on 15/02/2023 - 11:27

    Available again

    • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 15/02/2023 - 16:16

      Yup and in stock too. Seems like those who were on backorder can expect theirs to be at least shipped by now.
