    Wish cohld get 4tb in this price range

    • Schrodinger on 13/04/2025 - 13:20

      Samsung 990 pro 4TB went for 299 recently. Grabbed one. Maybe should have gotten 2.

    The T500 is fine for home use, but not for serious work

    The pSLC cache is 20% of free space, And if you run out of cache, the write speed is almost zero

      What ssd would you recommended? Looking for 1TB for work heavey on read/writes.

    • onlinepred on 13/04/2025 - 10:39

      Yep if you are writing massive files as your main use case it’s not as good as more expensive options.

    • drasticmeasures1337 on 13/04/2025 - 12:10

      Thanks for the link, this definitely won't work as a read/write cache for my NAS :P

      googling mentions a firmware update to fix it, I would have thought toms would have retested after such a fix

      • kogi on 13/04/2025 - 13:03

        I would like to know too.

        The memory the 980 pro had a 100gb dedicated SLC cache. which is much better than the pSLC cheap bullshit

  • dts88 on 13/04/2025 - 10:06

    is this good for PS5?

  • kisshell9 on 13/04/2025 - 12:59

    I got 990 pro 2 tb for $163 from Samsung.

    • terrence123 on 13/04/2025 - 13:10

      did you post the deal?

      • kisshell9 on 13/04/2025 - 13:34

        Someone posted it and it expired. It was from Samsung official store with the secret sale

    • HuzzahIndeed on 13/04/2025 - 13:46

      @kisshell9 With a heatsink or without? That’s a great deal if the 2tb 990 Pro PCle 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD you purchased from Samsung direct included a heatsink. I bought a Samsung 2tb 990 Pro with heatsink for $212 from JB HiFi in October last year, their RRP is $389, and I bought another 2 Samsung 2tb 990 Pro SSDs with heatsinks for $225 each from JB HiFi at the end of January this year, and I thought I paid a great price for them.

      • kisshell9 on 13/04/2025 - 14:15

        No heatsink but I did realise it was a really good price so bought quite a few for future PC build. Got few 1 tb too for 100 bucks

        • terrence123 on 13/04/2025 - 14:33

          could you link it please? can't seem to find it

  • jbannah on 13/04/2025 - 16:01

    Or you could buy one for $208 from a normal retailer and claim the $20 woolworths giftcard

  • buyer-123 on 13/04/2025 - 17:46

    This or T700 for boot drive? I have B650 mobo.

    • TheFyrd on 15/04/2025 - 12:11

      T700 is better but if your motherboard doesn't have a m.2 Gen 5 slot you won't get the full speed anyway. Generally, I like a smaller say 1TB drive as the boot drive that I keep as empty as possible, just critical programs that I want to use nothing bloated, no big games, etc. A good Gen 4 M.2 SSD is more than enough for a boot drive where random reads and writes are more important. These haven't been significantly improved gen on gen like sequential has.

      • Meteor Anarcom on 19/04/2025 - 12:55

        Not really. T700/T705 can be really hot and it will significantly affect the performance. You will not feel how much it is faster but can feel it become very slow when it is overheated. Even the M.2 heatsink on the motherboard cannot cool it properly.

        • TheFyrd on 22/04/2025 - 20:25

          Mmm! I didn't appreciate how hot these drives can get now. The more premium motherboards have dual-sided heatsinks, but for single-sided M.2 drives, is there any benefit here or is this just for larger double-sided drives? That being said, you'd have to be smashing the drive for it to significantly overheat in a well-ventilated case, but to your point, that's exactly where these drives would perform better due to the larger cache, long sustained writes. Bit of a catch 22 eh?

          700 & 705 perform better for larger wrties, they also kick off a lot more heat, potentially overheating and throttling.

    I have reached out to the seller and they have advised this product is eligible for the current Crucial Woolworths promotion.

    It is a Pro line product, so you can claim the $20 gift card. For retailer select KS Computer.

    • ausmisc on 18/04/2025 - 13:54

      So this eBay seller "smarthomestoreau" is actually KS Computer?

      • Meteor Anarcom on 19/04/2025 - 12:51

        Smart Home Store is Kai Seng Computer Solution Pty Ltd. I guess that's what KS stands for

          Thanks

          Edit: didn't realise KS is all of these apparently;
