Part number CT960M500SSD1
On sale, but dont know how long, doesnt have a stock listing so might wanto check

free deliverys with express post but theres the option for express post eparcel with insurance for $6, or courier to Syd/Melb/Bris metro for $10

Checking on Staticice, Shopbot and google, the only local seller offering it cheaper is Bidbox for $672 + around $12 delivery, but theyre only taking backorders atm, otherwise, cheapest on Shopbot and Staticice is $712 or $731 (not including delivery) so $688 looks cheapest atm if you wanto get one locally

    I wonder why Crucial.com is out of stock so often. Considering they only stock their own products.

      the drive is popular bc its cheap and everyone must be buying directly from crucial
      Buying from Crucial is also cheaper than buying from other retailers.
      Currently cheaper than Amazon, Best Buy, Fry's etc

      I don't think it's even a valid comparison.

      This comparison only really means something if you're upgrading from a 256gb M4 to a 960gb m500. It tells you exactly what you will get in that scenario.

      The closest you will get for a true comparison is comparing a 512gb M4 to a 960gb m500 drive (this way it has the same number of memory channels).

      All you can really say here is that the read on the m500 is extrordinarily poor by comparison to the m4. It's running slower whilst having less memory channels. Although the write speeds are higher on the m500, you can't actually conclude that they are in fact better since they needed to test a 512gb M4 to make this conclusion.

      EDIT: Aah, anandtech lets you select which drives to compare. Try this link: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/806?vs=355
      Turns out it's a reasonable comparison, the 480gb is about the same as the 960gb.

        To me reads are the most important. I want my SSD's for speed on loading games, apps, booting etc..
