    really good ssd and bombastic price

      Seems to have gone back up to $367

    Why won't the 1TB version get discounted :(

        AU$ 71+ per TB

    • hollykryten on 11/07/2023 - 19:13

      I believe that it is in fact discounted on a Prime exclusive deal.

      • dogsryummy on 11/07/2023 - 19:14

        It was $80 a week ago and I held off thinking it was going to be cheaper on Prime Day :(

        Rookie mistake

        • hollykryten on 11/07/2023 - 19:15

          Yep well this must be disappointing.

        • Tythefly86 on 11/07/2023 - 19:19

          Not necessarily. I held off on the 2tb pro pro deal last week and it was better on prime day as they did they heatsink version for the same price. It was just unlucky.. Still 28 hours left for them to do 1tb deals too so not all is lost

  • lordezekiel on 11/07/2023 - 19:30

    What is the lowest price these have ever been for legit local aussie stock?

      I haven't seen it cheaper in AU than this:

    • AlienC on 11/07/2023 - 22:28

      I was pretty happy to get it just under $400 from ebay a few months ago this is an insane price.. Makes it harder for me to resell mine tbb

    • DeToxin on 12/07/2023 - 08:14

  • Jstrrrr on 11/07/2023 - 19:32

    Am I correct in thinking this is only useful if you don't have a NVME header or you need to expand storage on top an existing NVME? Its speed is around 10% of a Gen4 NVME.

    • garetz on 11/07/2023 - 19:36
      +4

      Its also useful in notebooks that are older than nvme.

      • MrChumps on 12/07/2023 - 17:41

        Okay what is an "amazing drive" by your standards?

    • mitt on 11/07/2023 - 20:01

      If you can get an NVME drive instead do it, but the theoretical speed of the interface will often not be the limiting factor, especially with cheaper drives. For more budget drives the difference between NVME & sata is largely academic, the flash memory/cache itself will be what determines real world impressions.

      High end drives though, yeah NVME will let you actually use the full potential of the drive.

    • DmytroP on 11/07/2023 - 20:18
      +3

      If you copy large chunks of data to this drive, it would be faster than most of the cheaper QLC nvme drives.

    • RtN on 11/07/2023 - 21:49
      +1

      I already have NVME but my M/B only has 1 NVME slot, the secondary one halves my PCIe speed or something so I don't use it.

      Generally they say that SATA SSD is fast enough in real world apps.

    • eecan on 11/07/2023 - 21:49
      +10

      Its speed is around 10% of a Gen4 NVME.

      People always get caught up with the theoretical speeds but don't realise that the difference in real world performance is minimal. You'll notice basically no difference between SATA and NVME for gaming or most other applications besides niche ones (if you have to ask then you probably don't need it) but if you have the slots and the price difference isn't that much then you may as well get the NVME drives.

    Thanks OP. Have a 1TB that I need to upsize so this is great timing.

    Crucial MX500 4tb @ $276.35 or this

    • whitcut on 11/07/2023 - 20:10
      +6

      Probably the Samsung?
      I recall someone saying that "the 870 EVO is guaranteed TLC versus the TLC or QLC MX500"
      TLC tends to sustain at a higher speed than QLC, and is less complex so should also be more reliable than QLC.

    • MoleManMike on 11/07/2023 - 20:14
      +7

      If I'm not mistaken, the MX500 now has QLC variants out there, whereas the 870 Evo is still TLC.
      The MX500 also has a rated endurance of 1000TBW, compared to the 870 Evo's 2400TBW, although realistically most people will not hit either of these within the 5 year warranty length.

    • AlienC on 11/07/2023 - 22:29
      +1

      Samsung wins I think but only in endurance.

      Speeds are the same.

      So it's $2/TB more for double life span and Samsung ecosystem which means better compatibility with Samsung magician software.

    • BarneyKB on 11/07/2023 - 22:33
      +3

      Definitely this, Crucial has ruined their reputation by substituting low quality components late in a product's lifecycle after it has already got good reviews. As far as I understand, Samsung has not yet done this.

  • FlyingMiffy on 11/07/2023 - 20:00

    Got the 2TB for 165 today happy as i dont think i would ise the 4TB for my security cameras. Great price.

  • manity on 11/07/2023 - 20:59

    Wasn't this available at this same price as local stock recently?

    • RtN on 11/07/2023 - 21:58

      I checked the 4tb tags and I can't seem to find any amount remotely close!

      • manity on 11/07/2023 - 22:46

        My mistake. Same drive was 326 on an eBay sale.

    At the rate prices have been falling this year it will be sub $200 by Black Friday.

  • niagraBzO on 11/07/2023 - 22:02

    Need guidance, I have Dell 5593 with NVMe BC511 Sk Hynix 256 GB. Can I simply replace with this? On Dell's website it says max 2TB for the SSD so totally lost if laptop has limitations or Dell do not offer.. appreciate any ideas on this

  • GDavid on 11/07/2023 - 23:20

    Not bad, but happier with my intel S4510s

    Extremely annoyed. Bought one for $330 in the computer alliance deal back in June.

  • Misheemee on 12/07/2023 - 06:07

    Seems like a great deal! I have an old IMac I want to update the drive on to an SSD - can I update it with this SSD? It’s a late 2009 IMac. Thanks!

    • Magical Sound Shower on 12/07/2023 - 08:54
      +1

      Yes this will work. You need to remove the front display (see ifixit for guides) or you could run macOS from an external USB enclosure. You’ll be limited to USB 2.0 speeds though.

        Great, really appreciate it - thanks!

      That's the QVO, would stick to the 4tb EVO if I were you.

    The 2tb drive has gone down to $138 on Amazon this morning!! 🤩 I’ve swapped my order from the 4tb to the 2tb for the purpose of upgrading the the HDD an old Imac.

  • Heaps for Cheaps on 13/07/2023 - 10:17

    Was reading a post about a purchaser receiving a mislabeled drive… Can anyone share if they come across this…

    https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/14y53rj/samsung_8…

    "I just bought a new 4tb 870 EVO from Amazon and when I mounted it for the first time to initialize it on my Mac, it was titled “Sabrent Media Disc”."

    • Magical Sound Shower on 13/07/2023 - 14:57
      +1

      If they mounted it in a USB enclosure (most likely unless they were able directly connect it to the motherboard) then depending on the chipset of the enclosure it may report it as the brand/chipset of the enclosure in Disk Utility or the actual name of the SSD.

      • Nom on 13/07/2023 - 15:36
        +2

        Yep, this - they almost certainly used a Sabrent USB case/dock to connect it.

        • hollykryten on 14/07/2023 - 09:34

          Yes at the end of the discussion thread the person realised that it was because he/she had placed the SSD inside of a Sabrent USB HDD enclosure which is why it was recognised as a Sabrent Media Device in the operating system. There was no scam going on by the seller. Makes you wonder how many people make the same mistake.

          "Yes! I didn’t think of that - it’s a Sabrent USB enclosure. Thanks for all of the feedback."

    • RtN on 13/07/2023 - 20:36

      Samsung Magician app will tell you if genuine.

  • spoonmugen on 14/07/2023 - 10:56
