    It's wild how it's cheaper to buy and ship to AU than to buy from UK a lot of the time. 20% Vat is the killer for UK

    • how does this whole buy elsewhere thing work

      • +2

        To avoid some of the non-AU Amazon sites needing to implement GST calculation and also help us avoid exchange rate conversion + international transaction fees (a lot of mainstream credit card providers charge), Amazon AU acts as an intermediary to handle the transaction.

        Normally, for Samsung SSDs, customers contact Samsung RMA department teams for warranty support. However, Samsung AU will check and only support AU stock. Therefore, for SSDs purchased through Amazon AU, it is best Amazon AU handles the warranty (otherwise, imagine dealing with Amazon UK directly).

        • i see, thanks for explaining

        • If the item arrives DOA, is there any recourse with Amazon AU or still Amazon UK

          • @Italkdigital: Go through Amazon AU. That's one of the reasons most people don't mind buying SSDs from Amazon AU. Amazon AU generally provides better service. Think of Amazon UK as one of the sellers listing items on Amazon AU store. The items are stocked in Amazon UK so Amazon UK will do the postage / delivery.

            • @netsurfer: Ok didnt know that so big thanks for the information, then i guess warranties are through Amazon UK as you said its the store for Amazon AU like any store on Amazon AU, honestly too ive never had an issue with a M.2 drives, even quality Chinese brands through Alibaba but I bought directly from the manufacturers, but surely the cheap knock offs through Aliexpress has been hit and miss for me so never again 😀

      • UK merchants don't have to charge and collect V.A.T for foreign buyers.

  • off topic. do yall reckon if 980 pro will drop to this price in the forseeable future or im dreaming a bit too much here

    • I don't think anyone knows. Samsung haulted production so supply should eventually dry up, but hard to know if prices will drop a bit more or begin to go up.

      I would also like to know if all SSDs prices are expected to change, Samsung arent the only supplier so will these prices somewhat stay for other brands?

      • Oh they halted production? Where did you see that?

      • depends by how much they change and for what models ….. how many and how often do you buy SSD ? The bigger trend now seems to be Gen4 , and gen 3 is legacy of efficient production lines …. I know our enterprise server vendor when I talked about SSD was they are heading into QLC as it's cheap and they don't see customers wearing them out during warranty period, and network is bottleneck …… for home you want quicker.

        I can wait for 2tb Gen 4 with dram, tlc …..

        • what's the difference between Gen3 and Gen4 ?

          I'm not a gamer and I don't care about speed,
          but I do care about longevity of the drive,
          if I was to just use it as a back-up drive,
          to store data and not depend on it to do massive read/writes.

          I'm also confused about all this talk about QLC and DRAMs, etc….
          but maybe I'll ask that in the Whirlpool forums…ha

  • Is this good for ps5 storage?

    whats the cheapest way to clone your existing OS drive?

      Macrium reflect free version

      • oh i mean hardware wise

        i have all my nvme ports on desktop used up

        is there a cheap external adapter?

    • +1

      We did mine via the Samsung Data Migration Tool :)

  • -4

    Still not buying any current Samsungs, they tend to have issues or die

    • How so?

    • had a 500gb model since they first dropped. use it daily without overprovisioning enabled. no issues. no deaths. no bologna.

    • Been using my 500gb for over 5yrs now with heavy use. You confusing SSDs with their exploding washing machines?

  • Anyone found a cheaper 2TB alternative?

    This price is pretty good I must admit

    • better than local prices inc shipping ……if you need a 2TB SSD it's cheap, if you want Gen 4 and the extra speed the market is thin for cheap gen 4 with dram and tlc … and most PCs only have 1 or 2 M.2 slots so it's upgrades more than add another one …..

  • +1

    bought one. cheers OP!

  • Would this make a decent boot drive for a new AM5 system? Or should I look at a gen4 ssd?

  • Added 2x to cart and at checkout. $314.70. Not getting the discount…

    • single 2tb went back up to $174.85 as well…

  • Back up to $174.85
