Discounted down from $149 to $119. By no means the best price it's been, see previous deal from Amazon US, but an alright price for Aus stock with local warranty if you need it now.

Thats the 980 vs the deal for 980 pro.
yes my bad , but is it not a bargain for me.. same price https://www.jw.com.au/ but del is cheaper, https://www.centrecom.com.au free shipping
OP : Price at your store - 119 + 15 = $134 (Standard Delivery From $15),
Price at other places ( eg https://www.centrecom.com.au/samsung-980-pro-1tb-3-bit-mlc-v…) - $119 with free shipping,
What is your bargain here??.@Clear: Yes, true , it says "May not be available to some rural/outer areas." , but at least free for some or hopefully for majority,, rather than charging $15
I got 2x 980 Pro's for $135.70 a single one for $119 is a bad deal
chinese NAND is coming, kinda crashing the market, thats why the recently huge price drops.
waiting for the version with DRAM, coming Q4?
You are willing to pay more for the DRAM version?
@jaydee4: At what price point? Honestly, I can only think of one controller chipset that would make the DRAM version worthwhile. However, so far, people are not happy about that combination with 2TB YMTC NAND at $155-$160. Given the DRAMless one is ~$130, that leaves very little room for the DRAM version.
I thought the 980 pro already has 1gb dram cache ?
@Ryxxi: Regards to 980 Pro, Yes, as per the specs 1TB comes with 1GB LPDDR4 https://download.semiconductor.samsung.com/resources/brochur…
Chinese NAND crashing the market, honestly, not really. Lexar NM790 is priced reasonably, but not super duper price, nor all time best (granted those all time best prices are Amazon international deals, but still). Warranty matters and most of us don't have buddies who can buy items on JD and bring them over here.
Lexar NM790 SSDs are still available to buy and we know Lexar is planning to release YMTC QLC PCIe gen 4 x4 SSDs (so no, not crashing the market, but planning to take the same approach to cut cost). Let's see if Lexar will pass on the full QLC saving to us - i.e. sell a 4TB YMTC QLC for $178 to break the $229 record (PCIe gen 4 x4 DRAMless QLC SSD).
TLDR
- I told you so
- I am associated with Lexar, but this is not trying to sell you Lexar, go buy your Samsung and WD and whatever, price is going up.
Longer version:
Back when I launched NM790 promo here:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/792769Few said "expert" predicts there is a 13% price drop in Q3
At the time I can't say Huawei is going to launch their new phone and how big of a deal it is in China.
They pretty much took all YMTC resources.
So I just mentioned price is going up.Now globally, across all brands, price going up.
So the first thing I would love to say is:I TOLD YOU SO.
now the production resource pricing went up by around 25-50%.
Australia have enough stock to last for about 1 month
In order to make black friday looks like a genuine bargain, few brands will have to increase price very soon.And drop back down a bit in November, and then price will keep going up till late Q1 2024.
There is a major holiday in China for the first week of October, after that, vendors can start to order new lot of stock, and will be shocked with new pricing.I am associated with Lexar here, but I am not trying to sell you anything, I am just warn you, major price up is coming.
You like Samsung, go buy Samsung, you like WD, go buy yourself some WD
If you don't care about 15-20% price up (at the end of the day, it's probably only 5-15 bucks depends on whatever you ended up buying), then don't worry about this.
Otherwise, suggest you buy now.
the october prime sales would be worth holding out for if anyone can wait, and of course black friday. we should see some good discounts on this stuff
So, I use an ssd enclosure to run Linux externally, looking to upgrade (since the drive is quite small), just wondering if anyone knows if there is any point spending more on top of the range ssds, with cache's, higher write speeds and whatnot.
I mean, if it's all bottlenecked by the usb-c connection anyway then why spend the extra $$? Or am I wrong and usb-c is fast enough that I would get benefit out of say.. a 980 PRO over a 980?
I can't fully answer your question but one thing I do know is that you should aim to get one with DRAM since HMB does not work properly over usb-c
Ah thank you very much. Something for me to look in to.
For the same reason https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/787674 , for me, it is NOT an "alright price for Aus stock". Happy to wait..
Also can see cheaper at few other places like https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/hard-drives-&-ssds/solid-state-drives-(ssd)/88677-mz-v8v1t0bw?gclid=CjwKCAjwmbqoBhAgEiwACIjzEIB63t28AohZGnyVYpaVDiMblDrHwPCisQoekPfA94Df56rhL2dMpxoCZ1QQAvD_BwE
