500G
Sorry! I re-read the title like 3 times and still messed up - fixed now
Thanks! No need to sorry.
So u just purchased a Samsung EVO 860 500GB for $99 :) is this THAT MUCH faster for the extra $39?
MSY have this for $139 also.. looks to be the normal discounted Samsung RRP before a new product comes out i'm guessing
500GB - OP pls update title
Done - sorry!
500GB, that is an awesome deal,
Is the 980 coming out soon?
wow
bought thanks OP
To be fair, thank au.partpicker.com and their daily price drop emails!
couldn't resist anymore…probably will go down again tomorrow but at this price cant complain.
Hi Kur,
did you get the code from Umart?
No pickup email yet.
Thx, wait for your update~~
@saihot: Got the pickup email
@kurupted: what about code? include?
@saihot: i dont see any code on the email.
Yeah I bought this one the other day - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/411762 - figuring BF/CM sales would only be about that good.
I feel like such a fool, but them's the breaks!
Will this make us eligible for the free PC game?
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/407744
The promo list 512GB while this is 500GB.
The text on the ozbargain deal page is wrong: there is no EVO 512GB
Click through to the actual Samsung page and you’ll see the EVO 500GB is indeed included.
What if I pre-order the 970 evo 1tb, am I still eligible for the free pc game?
a lot cheaper at MSY for 1tb $289 VS $319
@thelastnoob: Msy is $319 how is it cheaper
@kei: sorry I mixed the stores up
It might not come with the free game.
Correct me if I'm wrong but you need to purchase a bundle. Bundles have "-ACOD" suffix on their model #.
Better email them before purchase whether SSD they are selling is bundled with a game or not.
For example, Budget PC has two eBay listings for identical SSD. The one with a game is $10 more expensive.
With game: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-970-EVO-500GB-NVMe-1-3-M…
Without game: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-970-EVO-500GB-NVMe-1-3-M…
If you live close to MSY you can save on postage also $139
If you choose MSY it's easiest to order online for pickup and pay in store.
Got one at MSY for pickup! Thanks Jase2801!
Did it come with the game code?
ooo cheers, saves me delivery :)
Thanks Op great deal got one
wow…best price so far
Not sure if this is worth it over the evo 860, for daily usage.
For large file transferring, the speed different is significant. But for system bootup, not very though.
This video shows where NVMe performs better. For me it’s worth it, but it’s totally each person’s value judgement
Yes, however it should be noted that the crucial mx300 is a lower performing sata drive compared to the 860. This should be more accurate, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IaV8zS4IrU . The only noticeable improvement here is the file transfer rate.
people normally compare mx500 to evo860 as they are normally closer in price …mx300 is one of the cheapest ssd offerings and targeted at entry level by crucial.
I’d be keen to see more real world tests than just 2 FPS game load times. Might have to go down a YouTube rabbit hole tonight :)
I guess it's good price for NVME?
I have a old 1tb hdd could i transfer just my operating system and steam games over with out also all my photos and crap, or should i just wait for a 1tb ssd deal so i can transfer it all over…
The OP didn't include the link to the 1TB model because it's currently on backorder, but for $289 it's still the cheapest I've ever seen.
https://www.umart.com.au/Samsung-970-EVO-Series-1TB-M-2-2280…
I'm pretty sure it was over $100 when OP made their post as it was the first thing I checked.
go the 1tb ….why waste your afternoon sorting rather than just cloning and enjoy a beer while it happens, then keep old 1 tb for backup drive.
i paid $200 for this 1 week ago at msy. how the?
could you return
Buy another at discounted price & return with old receipt
MSY (along with most other computer stores) record the serial numbers on the receipt
Smart
Oz bargain seems to be flooded with ssd deals. The deals are getting better everyday. Is there like a competition between the retailers or something?
still holding off until the black friday/tech monday sales/Christmas sales. I'm sure this will be around $100.
you should be able to pick up 2TB SSDs for under AU$ 200 in Black Friday / Christmas sales, of 2019
:-)
Picked this up for $152 just yesterday! Still sitting around the $220 mark with most other online retailers
I literally bought the 250gb for 125 from msy thinking we wouldn't see drops in nvme just yet… FML. It's already installed in my system too. Lame. I really wanted the 500gb but decided against it… That's the way it goes I guess!
I did the same… but now have the 250 and 500 plus a pcie to m.2 card.
Yeah I would've bought this 500gb straight away if I wasn't about to go on an NZ trip. Hopefully when I save up a bit more and closer to Xmas the 1tb gets closer to 200..
Anyone know what hardware is needed to clone a current M.2'(that contains the OS) with this NVMe? I read that NVMe's need a particular piece of hardware to interface with a USB port.
Brilliant find OP.
Acronis
Thanks Dienk, but I am looking for the hardware, I have the software.
You can clone it to a standard ssd/hd and after do it again from it to the new m.2 or just need a mobo with 2x m.2
ebay has pcie cards with nvme slots for m.2 …..from china suppliers , i bought one for about $10 so that if i got an nvme m.2 card i could use as expansion in my pc rather than keep buying 2.5” sata drives as next motherboard would have multiple m.2 slots.
@garage sale: Thanks everyone who responded, I should have stated that my query was to clone an M.2 drive that contains the OS, which resides in a notebook that has only one M.2 slot. So any hardware would need to be a cable that plugs into a USB port and then use one of the many software packages found on OZB to clone the drive. Shutdown and swap them over.
@cjmmoi: M.2 to USB eBay
I am also interested in this as I have an 860 evo nvme and a spare m.2 slot so I would like to clone and use the new drive for the os.
You could just create an image onto a seperate hdd then dump the image back to another NVMe drive. On the note of a USB enclosure to support NVMe drive that is quite a conversion chain and probably way too complicated the way i see it. Could even end up costing more than the NVMe drive by the time you're done.
FFS wish i waited! Bought the 960 EVO from Shopping Express deal.. sigh
FML! just bought it from budget pc for $157 yesterday.
Umart also can redeem the pc game right??
its ok, it'll be under $100 by boxing day
seems its heading to that way, if 1T below $200, will buy one.
that would bring it down to sata prices, 3d nand has high yields so easy to make and an m.2 card is easier to make than a 2.5” drive as doesn’t need enclosure so it might be that due to demand for nvme in m.2 format is becoming more popular and do more stock.
Important - If we preorder will we get Assassins Game since it expires 4th Nov and preorder is 17 Nov?
Will Msy price match Umart on the 1TB? $289 VS $319
now Budget PC match the price to $139。500GB。lol
https://www.budgetpc.com.au/samsung-970-evo-500gb-nvme-1-3-m…
not sure if come with pc game code。
I bought one from them a couple of days ago when it was $157 and have already received the code by email.
me too, $157!!! so sad..
But now they low price to $139, no sure this price come with code or not.
If buying two of these, Budget PC Ebay ($150ea) + PACKAGE15 = $138.75ea (plus $10 shipping). Umart shipping (to VIC) is $11 + $4.34 CC surcharge
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-970-EVO-500GB-NVMe-1-3-M…
Package15 a new code? So lame I was 100% sure $157 shipped would be as low as it would go. FFS.
It even works out cheaper if you buy one from Budget PC than UMART when you factor in the shipping costs and Credit card charges.
I'm gonna wait till they go even lower. https://www.maketecheasier.com/why-are-ssd-prices-plummeting…
Anyone know if this comes with Assassin's Creed Odyssey?
The model matches to the promotion https://www.samsung.com/au/offer/assassinscreed/
But does it need to be part of a bundle as mentioned above.
Not sure if the retailer gives you the code or samsung for the redeem process.
Out of stock but available for pre-order
Thank you. I’ve updated the title but don’t know how to do the fancy red version. Maybe cause I’m on mobile
Hi OP,
did you get the code from Umart?
I didn’t buy one sorry. Check with the other people above who commented they bought maybe?
@Occas: yes, wait and see for these lucky guys posts
MSY has it for the same price.
And that's not even a "special" or "sale". So it should be consistently that price right?
190 with Samsung cashback 2 months ago, and that was a steal. Prices dropping like ram should
Oh god I’d love a good price drop on RAM.
A mate of mine bought 32GB a couple of years ago when it was cheap (aka the price it should be), used it for 2 years, then sold it for more than he originally paid for it! Stupid.
Ordered! Thanks mate.
Size?
