  • Just picked up a Samsung 970 Evo plus 1TB for $79 from scorptec. I wouldnt consider this WD drive particularly cheap, unless I'm missing something.

    Edit: This is a NAS drive which is has a different usecase and different market

  • Would this be better than a 970 Evo as an external backup drive?

    • +1

      No, these are designed to be used in a NAS as a cache drive, they reduce total storage and allocate that for wear, hence the high Endurance (TBW) compared to other drives. Get a normal HDD or Sata sata ssd if you want cheap external backup drive.

  • Oooo if the 1tb was discounted at the same % i would have grabbed for my NAS

  • -1

    Wouldn't the SN770 500GB from Amazon for $66 be better value?

    • It's a NAS drive, you're paying a huge premium for durability and reliability.

      This drive is rated for 2000 full overwrites, while most consumer drives are only rated for around 600 at best.
      Realistically it's just a more durable SN750, tweaked for endurance over speed.

  • Here's a deal i just ordered https://www.bpctech.com.au/product/lnm790x001t-rnnng-lexar-i…

  • I felt smug for buying SN570 Blue 1tb for $82 10 days ago, now I need a flogging (1or2 days before the good deals began).

  • Deal continues, price updated

    • Back on, $78 with an extra 7% discount if you buy two (total of $146 delivered)
