More AZAU clearances with some good prices on these 5 Samsung SSDs for those looking to upgrade.

The highlight would be the Samsung T5 EVO 4TB USB-C Portable SSD Black for $225.45(ebay.com.au), as it was most recently shared for $279.20 and sells for $400+ everywhere else. The Samsung 870 EVO 500GB 2.5" SATA SSD for $54.95(ebay.com.au) is another highlight that currently sells for $75+ elsewhere.

Excludes NT, QLD Far North, WA Regional, WA Remote.

Mod 18/3: AZAU went into liquidation and order were not fulfilled. File an item not received case with eBay to get a refund, if you have not done so already.

    Nice. Any good deals for ssd including heatsink?

      Nothing from this store. You can always fit your own heatsink.

  • higherdestiny on 25/02/2025 - 14:05

    Silly question, but can you 'shuck' these (the 4TB) and connect to a SATA3 connector in a laptop?

  • Dan83 on 25/02/2025 - 14:08

    Nice! The Samsung 870 SATA would be suitable for putting into an Xbox one x, right?

    • kaleidoscope on 26/02/2025 - 06:27

      just as regular expandable storage yes. But not so much as their faster speed native drive expansion

      • Dan83 on 26/02/2025 - 06:54

        I read your comment three times confused. I assume you thought I was talking about the series x? Thanks

        • kaleidoscope on 26/02/2025 - 07:43

          Lol i got equally confused since your comment. Thanks microsoft!

          And yes since its sata interface you can replace internal drive with it.

          Good luck!

          • Dan83 on 26/02/2025 - 07:45

      It wasn't a price error and it was only posted a couple of days ago. Not everything is the exclusive Sydney Amazon next day delivery.

        Hi OP any idea why their website and ebay store has been wiped out? It seems something is going on.

        • Erisato on 27/02/2025 - 17:55

          Like OP mentioned, they may take a few days to respond (sellers usually have up to a week regarding postage notifications on ebay). I've purchased a 4TB drive myself from the seller so in the same boat

          i recommend if you're concerned, you can message the seller directly to see if you get a response from them or an update.

          If there are issues, you can raise a case with ebay, but generally have to wait until the expected day of delivery lapse, as part of their buyer protection if something does go wrong.

            @Erisato: Just received an ebay message from them - can't fulfill order due to stock issues. Hopefully you'll have better luck!

            • Erisato on 27/02/2025 - 19:50

              @yjs: thanks for the update , fingers crossed here

            • Erisato on 04/03/2025 - 00:27

              @yjs: hopefully you got your refund back. the seller advised the same with mine and said they'd refund immediately ( that refund hasn't happened )

          More AZAU clearances

          Per the OP. If you've been following the AZAU deals (Oz.squares eBay included) you'll see that their clearing out heaps of their stock. I communicated with them prior to this deal and we decided Samsung SSDs were the best bet compared to WD and some lesser known brands.

          It's worth mentioning they're pretty good at being slow to update delivery. Often it's marked as sent the day you receive it.

    update from my end, the seller's provided a cancellation /refund to my order:

    We apologize for any inconvenience caused, but we regret to inform you that we cannot fulfill your original order due to a stock discrepancy.In this case, we will provide you with a full refund and not hold any payments for this order.

    hope the rest of the Ozbargainers have better luck with theirs

          Chances are grim i'll get it. There hasn't even been an update that it's been dispatched. So I assume the dream is over. Hopefully the refund won't take too much effort….

    • SunsetCowboy on 04/03/2025 - 20:08

  • Erisato on 04/03/2025 - 23:47
    +1

    Many seem to be stuck in the same situation here, so I'll offer some feedback for my experience so far.

    For my item, also a 4TB drive, the seller sent me a message and advised they were "unable to fulfill my order and would provide a full refund" last Friday afternoon.
    There's been no response from the seller since then, and no refunds to speak of (with the item still sitting in "PAID" status)

    I can now only raise an INR "item not received" case tomorrow (when the expected delivery date lapses) then have to wait another 3 days before ebay can step in to assist with the disputed refund (if the seller still fails to respond to the INR).

    Definitely a terrible experience.

  • BargainsGrabber on 04/03/2025 - 23:59

    FYI - you can leave negative reviews for the seller already. Most of us have purchased this on the same day, so technically you can initiate eBay to step in from 6 March onwards

  • Max999 on 05/03/2025 - 00:07
    +1

    Might be irrelevant but I ordered a T5 Evo 4TB shortly after this post went up but had buyer remorse and decided to cancel the order shortly after. The seller was quick to issue a refund in an hour or two after I requested the cancellation.

    That was all before this fiasco kicked in.

  • Clear on 05/03/2025 - 13:42

    Sorry guys we've all been shafted. Cancel your orders and get a refund. As per ASIC, AZAU have gone into liquidation. Their ecommerce team in Malaysia were unaware and can't get hold of management here.

    As BG mentioned above you can initiate eBay to step in if necessary.

  • SunsetCowboy on 08/03/2025 - 23:08

    My cancellation was declined? What the…

    • kenmizuki on 09/03/2025 - 15:19

      The seller has refused to cancel this order. WT………

      • SunsetCowboy on 09/03/2025 - 16:43

        I have no clue what happened. It could've been because of the reasoning I put, but still, a bunch of people asking for cancellations around the same time should raise some red flags.

        • BargainsGrabber on 09/03/2025 - 17:00

          Was this through you putting a request for eBay to step in?

          • SunsetCowboy on 09/03/2025 - 17:13

            @BargainsGrabber: Not too sure, never really had this issue on eBay before.

            I clicked "Ask to cancel order" and the reasoning I put, like a dummy, was "item wouldn't arrive on time" or something like that.

            Because it's slated to be delivered on March 10th at the latest (even though it hasn't been shipped yet and I live in WA), I think eBay just auto cancelled my request. Now I'm locked out of the cancellation process.

            After the 10th I'll just put use the "I didn't receive it" option or try something else and report back.

          • kenmizuki on 10/03/2025 - 15:28

            @BargainsGrabber: how to ? there no action for ebay step in.

            • BargainsGrabber on 10/03/2025 - 15:42

              @kenmizuki: Not sure. I put mine as I still want to receive the item, and seller has until 11 March to respond

  • BargainsGrabber on 11/03/2025 - 00:36

    My refund was automatically issued from eBay since eBay didn’t receive valid proof of delivery from the seller

    • SunsetCowboy on 11/03/2025 - 02:06

      Nice! I'm just about to send in my request now.
