Per comments; Samsung may refuse to honour warranty claims (5 year warranty on the SSDs) for purchases from Amazon US sent to AU.
CamelCamelCamel.
Thanks mate. Will add this important tidbit to the description.
Samsung 870 EVO 1TB vs MX500 1TB?
I think I'd prefer the MX500 those are about $90.. any thoughts?
There were some rumours about mx500 switches to lower performance controllers/flash, at least for 1TB and 2TB versions.

Previously mx500 and 870evo were comparable, now I'd get 870
Just in case someone does not know: Only buy a SATA SSD if your motherboard does not support M.2. M.2 interface is about 10x faster and cost about the same.
Or you have run out of M.2 slots on your motherboard.
M.2 drives run too hot in small setups like NUCs.
Is there space for an SSD heatsink in a NUC?
No, because they have one built in, there's a thermal pad (or pads, dep on model) on the chassis plate.
Why can't the pricing scale linear to the 4tb 😪
Same with microSDXC cards to the 1TB
Msy Sammy 870 evo plus m.2 $99
EVO is better quality than QVO
1TB QVO is very slow if you copy large files to (like 100+GB write at once), it's slower than HDD at below 100MB/s.
i just got mine from the last deal.
unfortunately it was a mislabeled as 2TB.. factory seals say '1TB'.. so gonna send it back.
check it before you wreck it.
So can this be used as the main SSD for a laptop?
Something about D-Ram or something?
Not sure if I get this or the QVO for my old laptop
Definitely this over QVO. The EVO is the quality option while QVO is the budget option
So the EVO is like the Crucial MX500 and the QVO is like the Crucial BX 500?
A bit like that but QVO is quite a bit better than BX500
@genova it seems the price has dropped further to $197.24 if you wanna update it.
Thanks. I think this is the lowest it has been.
1TB went up $0.05!
2TB is now down to $185.17
Kinda underwhelming considering other price drops in the ssd space.
Worth noting Samsung usually refuse to honour warranty claims for purchases from Amazon US sent to AU. Makes the 5 year warranty useless. A few reviews on the items confirming the same.
