It appears that Dick Smith / Kogan did not jack up the price on this one as I have been eyeing to get one for a few days now. Almost jumped the gun when the 15% deal came out. Good thing I waited!
As always, there is the trade off for warranty if you buy local. 1year for this (grey import) vs 4years (Samsung warranty) or something like that. In my experience with technology moving so fast, 3 years from now this 500gb SSD will not even be relevant anymore. Plus if the hard disk failed, its not like the warranty is going to help me recover my files. I rather put my $30 savings into my next 2TB SSD :D
If you would prefer to buy local, MSY is selling this for $204

I thought they would have increased the price for sure! Should have waited…
