Cheaper than same drive results on staticice as far as I can tell and shipping to Brisbane is $10 which is reasonable.

More importantly, I don't see any sign of this being an international import, usually when they are shipping from overseas, there's notes at the bottom of the page that go on about direct shipping etc so hopefully they might actually have stock of this and shipping times may actually be decent.

Shipping - Checked a few post codes, it's $9.99 to Perth, Darwin, Wagga Wagga and Alice Springs so it's a fair bet to say it's a flat shipping rate. If you find otherwise, please mention it.

Further indication that it may be AU stock - 3 Years Warranty in Australia and Estimated Handling Time: 1 - 2 Working Days (if that means anything)

    But MSY sells the "SVP200S3" for $85
    http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf

    • foobar on 13/10/2012 - 15:56

      Not everyone has an MSY around the corner and I don't believe they'll ship stuff, will they? I avoid them wherever possible so I don't know much about them despite them being everywhere around BNE.

      • Elijah on 13/10/2012 - 16:19

        An MSY around the corner would have to be Adelaide, MSY was accessible from most parts in VIC and I live 10mins from an MSY in Brisbane, Sydney not so much, ACT & WA can suffer for all I care… lol :P

        • bluepanther on 13/10/2012 - 16:46

          ACT have MSY thank you

        • Elijah on 13/10/2012 - 16:55

          I know, 1 MSY…, T'was a joke !

          Edit: If you don't already know, I eat -negs for breakfast, so you neging the facts makes no difference… lol

        • Elijah on 13/10/2012 - 17:21

          Foobar, I really don't care anymore, this has become more of a game for me, flare and watch me grow…, besides you added a +ve to the wrong post, damn it…! lol

          Troll attempt: FAILED !

        • foobar on 13/10/2012 - 17:22

          You know I didn't even notice that one of my posts up there got negged, and five of them at that. Not like what I said isn't correct. How bizarre.

          Once something has started getting negs, it becomes a magnet for more it seems. I swear people just see something has been negged and join it without reading. Funny :)

          Anyway, no one answered this - MSY don't ship, do they? I'm sure we'd see a lot more deals here from them if they did.

        • Elijah on 13/10/2012 - 17:27

          Hell I'll confuse their little minds and +ve this deal… rofl

          EDIT: Yea they actually do ship as per this policy.

          P/H: $9~

        • foobar on 13/10/2012 - 17:46

          Wonder why we don't see more MSY deals then, they often have the best price and if shipping is 9 bucks flat (TBC), that's not bad at all.

        • asa79 on 13/10/2012 - 18:10
          -2

          Because umart has better pricing than MSY

        • Bindi on 13/10/2012 - 18:47

          Ah, 'twas I that gave you a neg, hun*, not to troll you but because it costs more to get it from MSY shipped. I know your price was for instore, but there's also a limited number of stores for MSY to make it a bargain for everyone. But if I lived near one I would be getting it from a MSY store for sure.

          *This is not me mocking or patronising you. I'm one of those people who uses "hun" and "love" and "dude" and so forth as terms of endearment. Apologies if it offends.

          Probably depends if you are really female :)

        • Bindi on 13/10/2012 - 19:15

          No flat rate shipping from MSY for this duck, foobar :(

        • MATTDAMON on 13/10/2012 - 20:31

          The S3 is also a 7mm drive and comes with an adaptor to make it compatible with 9mm sized enclosures as well.

        • hollykryten on 15/10/2012 - 11:44

          At least you don't have to travel 637km to get to an MSY store.

      That's great for people who live in their States Capital City or larger cities (or Tassie), but for the rest of us shipping is a deal maker or breaker. Thanks OP.

      • Bindi on 13/10/2012 - 16:52

        "Or Tassie"was meant to go after "the rest of us" Sorry.

    thumbs up for your active posts foobar

      I umm and ahh about each and every one of them, should I post this or not, is it a decent enough deal etc. Just as I finish up the deals ready for posting, I reload the new deals and almost hope some of the times that someone else has posted it (happened once).

      I know this isn't the greatest deal ever, but it's decent and for those that are out in the sticks, the delivered price of this at the moment from this vendor seems reasonable. I don't know how much it will cost to send to obscure places, hopefully it's $9.99 flat to everywhere.

      Checked a few post codes, it's $9.99 to Perth, Darwin, Wagga Wagga and Alice Springs so it's a fair bet to say it's a flat shipping rate.

  • Ghogger on 13/10/2012 - 16:06

    I paid $79 for mine at MSY (10min walk for me)

    Excellent SSD, super fast and my motherboard is only Sata 2. Gets 7.6 for the windows experience score.

    • foobar on 13/10/2012 - 17:17

      For a standard branded kingston (not a hyper) the numbers are staggeringly good.

  • B-Rad on 13/10/2012 - 16:26

    Wouldn't trust this SSD. Uses the old sandforce controller which is know to have issues. Good brands are Intel, Crucial, Samsung and Sandisk.

    • stumo on 13/10/2012 - 16:43

      Did I miss a memo? when/how did sandisk get promoted?

    • nfr on 13/10/2012 - 16:49

      I think you are mistaken. V+ 200 uses the same sandforce controller as Intel 520. It's marketed for business use, so should be reliable enough, though not the fastest.

  • ibfragalot on 13/10/2012 - 21:10

    Dumb question sorry… but do I need some kind of kit/conversion plug if I was to swap this into my laptop? (Dell XPS L401x) or do SSDs use same (sata?) connector?

    • foobar on 13/10/2012 - 21:41

      It's just a sata drive, but it is a 7mm one, your lappy will either need a 7mm or 9mm. In this post above, copie says that the drive comes with the adapter to make it fit a 9mm port so you should be golden either way, so long as a 120GB drive is big enough for your requirements.

  • Gazza22 on 14/10/2012 - 09:17
