Samsung 256GB 830 Series Internal 2.5" Solid State Drive (SSD) — currently $30 off from B&H Photo Video. That's USD $179 + USD $32.26 postage to Australia = ~$211.26 AUD shipped. HOWEVER the postage is per-order and not per-item so if you buy more (or arrange a few mates to buy together) you'll be able to get more saving.

It also includes "B&H Photo $10 Gift Card" for future purchases I guess.

I received their newsletter about 8 hours ago and it says the promotion expires "Tonight" which I guess would be New York time — another 4 hours to go.

    Possibly the best price for the Samsung 830 256GB yet. Very good drive for this price.

      Just have to make sure the order is less than 1k (up to 5), or otherwise might need to pay GST.

      • mangoburger on 23/08/2012 - 14:27

        I think it's duty, but totally agree. I once got that dreaded phonecall once at 11pm, got 3 chairs from US shipped in individual boxes, but of course they all got despatched together.

        How to react when you get a call from a random Filipino guy in the middle of the night asking for your credit card details? :o/ Now using Shipito, which I also saw first on OzBargain.

  • cminez on 23/08/2012 - 11:17

    got one thanks
    edit: at last my mbp will get high speed read/write rate ssd.

  • syl on 23/08/2012 - 11:32

    256gb has a higher Sequential write speed than the 128gb. why is that?

    was gonna get 128gb for my notebook! now i dunno!

    • krisspy on 23/08/2012 - 12:04

      Bigger usually is faster aswell with ssd's. Bigger capacity = more nand chips writing in parallel.

    • netsurfer on 23/08/2012 - 12:26
      +2

      Current SSD technologies are optimised for 240/256GB SSDs. 128GB drives are based on 256GB SSD drives except with either less flash ROM chips or chips with less memory capacity.

      At the moment, SSDs > 256GB do not really provide performance benefit (due to latency starting to become an issue). If pure performance is what you are after, 256GB (or 240GB if you opted for a Sandforce based drive) is your best bet. You can opt for higher capacity SSDs if you really need that much space, but they won't give you any decent performance boost. The data error also becomes an issue with huge size SSDs.

      • syl on 23/08/2012 - 12:49

        double the storage and double the price for a bit faster hmmmmmmm
        i dont think my laptop will use over 80gb since i wont be using it for gaming/video editing

        decisions decisions!!

  • frewer on 23/08/2012 - 11:33

    each SSD postage 32.26 each … does it has insurance in it ?
    Edit: i think i resist still the price drop down more.

    OMG. I so want one, but I don't plan on reinstalling windows til windows 8 comes out.
    Hopefully SSDs will drop considerably in local prices by then.

      I just installed w7 finally after 9 odd years of joy with xp. might wait another few years for me to get w8.
      Also i wouldnt hold your breath about ssd's coming down too much alike normal hdd's as they are still a bit of a luxury item rather than a necessary one, but thats slowly changing.
      good deal btw

      • thackleberry on 23/08/2012 - 12:39

        Nah they will keep dropping.. good times.

        And damn, late for the w7 bandwagon, love it. Used the Beta windows 8.. looks like I'll be sticking to w7 for a few more years until windows 9 haha ;)

    Dude- SSD'S are rapidly coming down in price, unlike standard hard drives which have increased in price in recent times and are still not back to pre-flood prices. Standard hard drives prices have also been negatively affected for consumers due to WD and Seagate having a virtual duopoly on the market.

    • RedHab on 23/08/2012 - 13:15

      Right on. WD and Seagate just reported record profits.

  • decksla on 23/08/2012 - 13:32

    this is so cheap its not funny! literally, i just bought one last week for $250!

  • DEvok on 23/08/2012 - 13:54

    After looking at the picture thought it looked like a laptop going for $200, untill I read the info lol.

  • Mirage on 23/08/2012 - 14:44

    Does any know if there is any Samsung local warranty for these instead of shipping back to B&H?
    Cheers!

  • Mirage on 23/08/2012 - 15:00

    Is it out of stock? I cannot seem to press any button to pay for it…

    • scotty on 23/08/2012 - 15:11

      I am marking it as expired now as it's already 1AM New York time.

    256 sux where is 1gb ssd ffs

    • ProspectiveDarkness on 23/08/2012 - 16:51

      Yeah, I know right! I'm holding out for the 1GB SSD's.

    • Cheap Rich Guy on 24/08/2012 - 12:14

      There are 1TB SSD's available. You don't wanna know the price though.

    • Bammers on 24/08/2012 - 17:49

      LOL - I'd take a 256GB SSD over a 1GB ssd anyday…

      What would you do with a 1gb ssd anyways - do they even make them?

      • wisc on 17/09/2012 - 10:39

        yeah, they are called SD cards, but not sure if even they come this small anymore.

  • bengee138 on 23/08/2012 - 16:34

    Still available guys.

    Just got one.

    THANKS!

    PS Damn you oz bargains for impulsive purchases.

  • dbun1 on 23/08/2012 - 16:42

    Yep, keep checking guys, the price is still valid.

    Great price too, especially for the Samsung drive. Worked out to be $202 dollars after conversion.

  • Lenneth on 23/08/2012 - 19:40

    I seem to be missing all the good Bhphoto deals

    • jasopan on 23/08/2012 - 22:37

      Still on!
      Just got on, finally caved :(

    • scotty on 23/08/2012 - 22:38

      I've removed the OUT OF STOCK label now. It seems that the deal expires on 23 August NY time — that's 2PM tomorrow.

  • SkItZo on 23/08/2012 - 22:42

    Got mine :D

  • TranceLiberation on 23/08/2012 - 23:00

    anyone know what the go with warranty is on these drives?

  • mikljon on 24/08/2012 - 13:54

    i just bought this from MSY for $244.
    this i smuch cheaper

  • scotty on 24/08/2012 - 18:25

    Looks like the deal is sort of "over". Price stays at $179 but without crossing out original price of $209. However there is no more $10 gift voucher.

  • cminez on 25/08/2012 - 02:23

    just talked to their staff and my order is still pending because it's backorder. :(

  • dekaiser on 27/08/2012 - 19:24

    any idea how long it'll take, mine is also backordered.

    • jasopan on 29/08/2012 - 22:52

      What's backordered?
      Mine seems to have been shipped (they sent me an email) yesterday and I placed the order last Thursday. The estimated date is next Wednesday which is quite long :/
