  Tax time special: Is this what you spend your tax refund on? Then wait 11 months to claim it…

    It's under $300 so it can be written off in one go. However, if it is over $300 (i.e. a brand new PC or even a decent GPU), depreciation is time based. ATO doesn't let you depreciate 365 days if the item is purchased 1 day before the end of financial year.

      This is < 300. I guess you could depreciate it if you really wanted?

        In this case, it is wiser to wait 11 months because chances are this will be a lot cheaper by then.
        I cannot remember Centre Com's price on this SSD model last week (because there was an additional coupon code). But based on CCC, it seems like retailers (including Amazon) are lowering the price to basically match the price with that discount code included last week.

        Same storage size? Do you have Crystal DiskInfo installed? If yes, post the model detail, read and write details.

    Was that Phison E18 + Micron TLC combo or it was InnoGrit + YMTC previous gen TLC NAND combo? Silicon Power started component swaps on XS70 2TB about 2 months ago.

      The one i got when someone posted it here last month. Now the price is down to $150

        InnoGrit + YMTC combo most likely. So, not exactly the same. I assume Kingston hasn't started doing component swapping on these. I am quite annoyed with Kingston doing swaps on their other SSDs. However, it seems to be the norm for these glue and go SSD makers.

          @netsurfer: 1tb drive from the Computer Alliance deal I got has a Phision E18 and Micron TLC NAND. Hopefully this is the same.
