All time lowest price

Basically a SK Hynix Platinum P41 by another name.
Same hardware, but different tuned firmware, from the Intel SSD division and SK Hynix merger.

Probably the best all round SSD right now that maintains impressive speed as the drive fills up.
Only if you want the best, since most will not notice much of a difference to other cheaper high end ones like the SN850x

  2TB gen4 for over $300 + delivery….. prices have been crashing everywhere for some time now. I don't think this is a deal at all imo.

    CoolColJ on 31/03/2023 - 19:13

    it is for this drive, it's the best all round Gen4 drive right now and usually sells for way more, Just under $500 in early march

      Doesn't matter what gen, best all-round or what brand it is, for the $$$ it's not the best value for money when others that nip at the heals can be had for $100 less PLUS it'll be AU stock.

        But the top end of performance is never the best value?

          I'd say that's pretty close to it…. wouldn't you?
          Or this one https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/763286
          Or this one
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/762847 many more to scroll through yet… and that's just the ones on OZB, not the other flash sales on pc websites. Take your pick
          Or even this one which was just added (not quite $100 cheaper but has a great heatsink which is also PS5 compatible) https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/766089
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/764215 for the budget

      As I understand it this is a great one for laptops too due to power efficiency.

      • 

        CoolColJ on 31/03/2023 - 20:07

        correct, and runs well even when hot, never throttles, doesn't need a heatsink

      A 2TB gen5 https://www.bpctech.com.au/product/gp-ag510k2tb-gigabyte-aor… is selling for $569ish compared to your "just under $500 in march" which is a INSANELY STUPID price considering a sabrent rock was the best you could get and was A LOT cheaper!
      Craps all over this at 10,000MB/s…. so still not a deal.

    Agree. Compare to other SSD deals recently. This price is not a deal.

  Good drive, normal price
SK Hynix, Samsung and Western Digital are the only 3 to make drives with their own controllers and NAND

    I think crucial (micron) is another?

  Darkvolcos on 31/03/2023 - 21:20

  Bummer, need a ~$200 2TB deal on one i can use in the PS5

    teddiebear on 31/03/2023 - 22:20

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/764215 may not be the absolute fastest but pretty reasonable. There are others available from crucial, kingston, msi, on that website and others. Just something nabbed in a pinch.

  Okay, any drongos getting pissy about this don’t know what they are talking about.

  Do NOT buy this if:
  You own a desktop

  Do buy this if:
  You own a laptop and need something that is by far the most power efficient on the market with the performance it give and won’t generate a tonne of heat.

    Drongo's?? It's bad value for money. In a laptop or pc, you seriously won't see any advantage over most other M.2 ssd's. Speed, sure it loads fast but install this and anothet brand, you won't notice the difference.
    As for heat, what would you be doing to get it cranked up hot enough to throttle? Only massive power users will experience that!
    So pissy drongo's?? Nah

      You obviously don’t own and use a thin and light laptop professionally. Many nvme drives can chug back juice.

  How does it compare to the Samsung 990 pro.

  • 

    CoolColJ on 03/04/2023 - 00:23

    They trade blows, but P44 Pro is more effcient

  This is a brilliant drive for specific use cases because of the, great performance coupled with low power and temperature, I've been looking for good prices on them to run in ITX builds and forgo the fan that a lot of ITX motherboards have.

  The heat issue of NVMe drives hasn't really hit the headlines quite yet, I'm guessing it will be a significant issue for PCIe 5.0 drives even in desktop builds, expect more ridiculous heatsink solutions to appear.
