Not sure how the Seagate stacks up against the proven players, eg. Samsung, Crucial, Intel. A thumbs up for the pricing tho!
- jv on 10/10/2013 - 12:03
  
  if they don't rate compared to the others, pricing isn't that important…

  Anandtech has a review, power usage is a little high so not great for notebooks. Otherwise all seems good other than Seagate SS reliability being an unknown.

Never knew Seagate made SSDs what a shift from the hard disk market.
- _Bruce_ on 10/10/2013 - 12:01
  
  They have been making hybrids for a while, this is their first full SSD.
  
  It also uses memory and a controller that are make/used by others, so there isn't much unique here.
- pinoy on 10/10/2013 - 12:18
  
  we've been using 4 x Seagate Enterprise SSDs 100GB for a good 6 months now…
  
  wasn't too happy when DELL engineers didn't have any plans of supporting them in their firmwares.
  
  Works fine on Proliants G7.
  
  I'll pick up a couple of these consumer grade ssds and test them out…
  
  PS: btw the enterprise ssd units didn't come with any software nor does it have any utilities downloadable from seagate. Bought them in MSY for around $190 a pop back then.

Nice time to upgrade for $40 :D

Edit : Thought it had free shipping, it dosnt :(
- AreYouAWiiizard on 10/10/2013 - 17:43
  
  Comes to $53 with shipping to Perth, $2 cheaper than when I bought mine since no-one would price match the MSY that was 40Kms away and not worth the drive to save $6…
  Though most stores have stock these days at cheaper prices.

How good are Seagate SSDs? They've never been a player in this market until now. What chipset do they use, and are they reliable?

According to the review posted by martyn:
Seagate 600 and 600 Pro are 2.5” SATA drives. Their enclosures are completely screw-less, which makes getting in a bit of a pain but it’s not impossible.

It may be a problem of fixing it to the case.
- Noonoo on 10/10/2013 - 18:20
  
  Small bit of gaffa tape and you'll be right
- grimreeper on 11/10/2013 - 00:09
  
  But considering vibration isn't a issue attaching them to a case isn't that big of a deal.
- IamEzza on 11/10/2013 - 02:00
  
  They still have the regular screw holes that all 2.5" drives have.
  You can buy 2.5" to 3.5" adapters pretty cheap on ebay.

  R9 280x pricing in Australia set to be $400 MINIMUM (from the article, based on past experience, price will be more than AMD recommended)! I'd say a 7970 at this price is a great buy since the R9 280x is pretty much a re-badged 7970. Although who's to say if retailers won't be flogging these cards off cheaper once the new models come out…..
  
  From http://www.pcauthority.com.au/News/359906,how-much-will-amd8…
  
  While the NDA on the revamped range has been lifted, cards aren’t actually due to go onsale until the 11th, which means that we won’t see real world pricing until then. For now at least we can look at the Australian SEP (standard etail pricing - which AMD has recommended to Australian retailers), and the US pricing to see how much it has changed, and then see whether or not the retail channel can actually deliver cards at these prices when they hit shelves later this week.
  
  R7 240 – $89 (US$69)
  
  R7 250 – $119 (US$89)
  
  R7 260X – $179 (US$139)
  
  R9 270X (2GB) – $259 (US$199)
  
  R9 280X – $399 (US$299)

    The R9 280x seems to be performing much better than the 7970ghz in previously Nvidia optimised titles. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/R9_280X_Gaming/20.htm…
    In other games it's pretty much that same.
    - _Bruce_ on 10/10/2013 - 18:20
      
      This is probably just due to driver updates, 7970 would get the same.
    - AreYouAWiiizard on 10/10/2013 - 21:32
      
      Hmm well that's confusing.. They state "All video card results were obtained on this exact system with exactly the same configuration." but they also state they used the 13.11 beta drivers ONLY for the R 7/9 cards. If they are using different drivers, the comparison is invalid imo (even if the drivers don't state performance improvements).
schwinn on 10/10/2013 - 15:05

I'm a noob with SSD's, but comparing this with the Samsung EVO's the EVO's seems to have better specs at a lower price? (I'm assuming that for all figures, higher values = better)
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/samsung-840-evo-series…

Can someone clarify please?
- bctransit on 10/10/2013 - 16:19
  
  note: Samsung 840 and 840 EVO are using TLC, not the MLC
  
  Will you be able to feel the difference on the read/write speed on different SSD? — most likely no
  
  Will you be able to feel the difference on the life on different SSD (i.e. longer life)? — most likely yes
  
  Personally I never bought any 840 or 840 EVO
  - IamEzza on 11/10/2013 - 02:54
    
    False. SSDs die all the time, but NAND endurance is not an issue for regular desktop users. Different story for enterprise though.
