First post so be gentle. Has been posted before at the same price at MSY and Umart (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/771015) however these had $11 and $18 shipping for me. Centre Com has it with free postage. Free shipping excludes WA & NT. Surcharges: 1.2% Card & PayPal, 2% AmEx.

As others have alluded to on the previous post performance is not fantastic in the NVMe realm and TBW is suboptimal for a 2TB drive, but I am using it in a caddy for backing up photos and not as a daily OS internal drive so feel like these issues will be less of a factor in my circumstances.

    I guess very soon we will see $99 for the 2tb nvme.

    • Rob-4x4 on 30/04/2023 - 09:05

      Especially with the PCIe 5 nvme drives just starting to appear

    Hobo company lost my motherboard. Never purchasing from them again.

    • BargainBuddy on 29/04/2023 - 22:49

      How.. Warranty claim?

      • PlushToys on 30/04/2023 - 07:08

        Never received. Australia Post did not care. PayPal refunded in Item Not Dispute case.

    So tempting.. but 480tbw is unfortunate.

  • Bertus on 29/04/2023 - 22:19

    I just installed this drive and on Samsung magician i am getting Sequential Read 3460 MB/s and Sequential Write 2142 MB/s this is on i9 laptop, seems much faster speeds than advertised? all my other drives bench marked match closer to thier advertised speeds

    In case you were wondering, yes, it's QLC and DRAMless.
    Still, should do a perfectly fine job if all you need is a big games/storage drive for cheap.

      wonder if I want to store some data in a long term, should I go for a HDD instead ? Thanks!

        For long-term cold storage, HDDs are better than SSDs. The cells in flash memory will eventually lose charge if left unpowered for long enough (can be a matter of months or years, depends on a variety of factors). I've personally had a HDD that was left unpowered for a decade spin up with all my data intact.

          I've just recently tried an SSD that was unpowered for 7 years that was perfectly fine

          • ozbdine on 30/04/2023 - 11:49

            @kujaultima: Older 2D MLC SSDs can hold charge for much longer. Virtually all new SSDs use 3D TLC or QLC with 'charge trap' technology which has worse retention characteristics (especially bad with QLC)

  • Micsmit on 30/04/2023 - 11:36

    Does anyone know if you can mount these in some kind of sata housing to use as a sata ssd drive. I know you'd only get sata speeds. But they are so much cheaper than mx500 atm

  • kamelataturd on 30/04/2023 - 11:41

    Looks like its only available for pickup at Nunawading now

  • Flying Ace on 30/04/2023 - 13:35

    What is this "surcharge" that appears on all Centrecom and Shopping Express deals?

    • kamelataturd on 30/04/2023 - 13:41

      I think it's like 1.2% for credit card/PayPal. No surcharge if you pay by direct deposit. Apologies should have said this in the post.

      • Flying Ace on 08/05/2023 - 18:04

        But why does “+ surcharge” appear only on these vendors, when nearly every online store charges a surcharge for card payments?
