    No price, so are these free?

    • nuker on 04/12/2024 - 17:35

      you are quick!

    this or the $29 256GB OEM SSDs from Centrecom?

    • VishSunny on 04/12/2024 - 18:43

      Although Centrecom say the OEM drives are Pcie Gen3, I got a WD SN740 2280 from them when I last purchased at start of this year.

  • snoopydoop on 04/12/2024 - 17:37

    This is the drive you can make a dodgy xbox series expansion disc with right?

    • HomeAlone on 04/12/2024 - 18:20

      No. You need CH SN530 for that. (PC SN530 will not work)

      The deal the OP originally posted was for a PC SN530 according to the images in the Amazon listing.

  • GordonD on 04/12/2024 - 17:43

    Oh, come on, an ancient 2400 Mb/s 256GB SN530 at $38.50 is NOT a bargain.

    You can do FAR FAR better bargains for far faster 256GB SSDs

    You can get any number of different gen 4 256GBs for $20.

      but tomorrow with free shipping?

      • GordonD on 04/12/2024 - 17:47
        +4

        A fast gen4 Micron 2450 or Samsung PM9C1a for $20 plus shipping is still a LOT cheaper than a crappy old slow SN530 for $38.50 with shipping included. And a lot better drive as well.

        • nuker on 04/12/2024 - 17:50
          -6

          Right. I will delete this deal if you find better one on Amazon, delivered itomorrow.

            @nuker: Oh, right, so its an OzBargain because its sold on Amazon, not somewhere else, and you're so impatient that you want it delivered immediately.

            Well, its not.

            @nuker: As much as I actually somewhat agree that next day shipping from Amazon has it's merits in niche cases, here's a better drive for less with next day shipping from Amazon…

            • GordonD on 04/12/2024 - 18:00
              +1

              @Tachicuddles: Yes that is an example of a better bargain. A lower price. A faster drive. And, if that is vital to you, delivered just as quick. Tick, tick, tick.

              No-one much wants 256GB SSDs these days. They come as standard in laptops. The first thing people do is get a bigger one fitted. So out comes the 256GB drive, and its sold off with zero hours on it. So they are dirt cheap.

            • nuker on 04/12/2024 - 18:04

              @Tachicuddles: Changed to yours, thanks!

              • GordonD on 04/12/2024 - 18:06

                @nuker: Finish your editing. An SN740 isn't gen3, its gen4.

                • nuker on 04/12/2024 - 18:07

                  @GordonD: done!

                  • GordonD on 04/12/2024 - 18:19

                    @nuker: Have you checked the delivery time for them?

                    • nuker on 04/12/2024 - 18:27

                      @GordonD: Not my day, lol
                      But my original one was delivered in 48 hours, despite whatever it said on the page. I just checked email timestamps.

          Do you have any example links? I am looking for a cheap boot drive for my nas and I don't care about next day shipping.

          • CHUNITHM Luminous on 04/12/2024 - 21:52

            @denserham: https://www.centrecom.com.au/oem-256gb-m2-nvme-ssd (also on Centrecom eBay for $31 + $5 delivery, basically the same price as this deal but at least it's basically new)
            I got one of these when it was $5 and I got a Samsung PM991 from a HP laptop, others reported getting the WD SN740

            • nuker on 04/12/2024 - 22:21

              @CHUNITHM Luminous: this is not 2242 :)

              • CHUNITHM Luminous on 04/12/2024 - 22:31

                @nuker: Apologies, but I can't imagine most people are looking for a 2242 drive. If yoy must go 2243 you can spend around the same and get a brand new (albeit Gen 3) OEM SK Hynix or Samsung drive off of eBay.

                • nuker on 04/12/2024 - 22:34

                  @CHUNITHM Luminous: My mobo, ASUS P10S-I, only takes 2242. So lets stick to 2242 here. Non 2242 are good for another deal post.

    • vanyellow on 04/12/2024 - 19:26

      if this was a 512gb, i would consider it a bargin not 256gb

    • shortcircuit on 04/12/2024 - 19:16

      any advice what NAS OS I can use to build my own NAS

      • nuker on 04/12/2024 - 19:20
        +1
        • TrueNAS Scale (Linux)
        • TrueNAS Core (FreeBSD, abandoned)
        • UnRaid (paid, boots from USB)
        • Windows Server (my current attempt, after TrueNAS, using Storage Spaces)
        • Xpenology (Synology hacked to run on your own HW)

        TrueNAS Core file access permissions model was nightmare. ACLs vs filesystem ones - messy.

        • MasterScythe on 04/12/2024 - 19:35

          Instead of TrueNAS Core, if you want BSD, you use XigmaNAS (formerly known as FreeNAS, then Nas4Free)

          Still fully maintained, light, stable and fast.

          Also, OpenMediaVault, OpenFiler, RockStor, NexentaStor, and U-NAS.

          • nuker on 04/12/2024 - 19:41

            @MasterScythe: Thanks for Also ones, will check out! I tried OpenMediaVault, too hacky, one developer, dropped it.

            I don't want FreeBSD, I want stable, supported system with minimal headaches :)

            • MasterScythe on 04/12/2024 - 19:47

              @nuker: OMV is unmolested Debian with a webUI, its as stable as vanilla debian is. Its nice since the web 'shell' isn't tied to anything. Drop back to Terminal any time, and it just updates next launch.

              Otherwise, yes, XigmaNAS has been around longest and BSD is historically more stable than linux. My uptime is currently 6 years.

              • nuker on 04/12/2024 - 20:23

                @MasterScythe: for some reason, very few mentions of XigmaNAS…
                I've been digging around NASes for a long time, and I think this is first time I see it mentioned.

                • MasterScythe on 04/12/2024 - 20:32

                  @nuker: Most of its references will be before the name got sold to iXSystems. Try "FreeNas" and "Nas4Free".

                  • nuker on 04/12/2024 - 20:39

                    @MasterScythe:

                    Try "FreeNas" and "Nas4Free".

                    Which both morphed into TrueNAS Core. Correct?

                    • MasterScythe on 04/12/2024 - 21:20
                      +1

                      @nuker: No, they morphed into XigmaNAS, iXSystems\TrueNAS only purchased the name, and a small portion of the code.

                      Olivier Cochard-Labbé donated his copyright protected original FreeNAS code to the XigmaNAS team, as it continues today.

      • bazingaa on 04/12/2024 - 23:37

        I use Win10 Pro came with my SFF PCs. I don't have RAID. Just individual HDDs (3*16TB + 2 TB) in 2 NAS and some partitions synced with delay using FreeFileSync in my workstation PC, all partitions are NTFS so that I can recover easily unlike ZFS.

    educate me… how does one "refurb" a NVME drive?

    • dyziplen on 04/12/2024 - 19:30

      Windex and elbow grease, and it will be brand sparkling new again.

    • MasterScythe on 04/12/2024 - 19:36

      If it were me? Id dust it, isopro the contact fingers, and perform a secure erase.

    • in this economy on 04/12/2024 - 20:12

      Considering these are an oem model. They're probably just pulls from laptops that have been upgraded.

      • GordonD on 04/12/2024 - 21:12

        They're probably just pulls from laptops that have been upgraded.

        If they're the latest models they are pulls from upgraded new laptops, so all they have on them is the Windows image supplied by the manufacturer, and often they don't even bother erasing that. If they're old ones, like SN530s, who knows where they've come from. In that case they are always come erased.

      You dip it into a bucket of strong magnets and it resets the elixiers
