Cheaper than the previous price errors, but probably not a price error.
Same price on Amazon, but they don't ship to Australia http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BQ8RGL6
Crucial themselves are selling them for $530 http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT960M50…
Off topic…
Interesting that SSD's are finally testing the 1TB barrier. I know it's taken a LONG time but consider how long it took HDD's to reach the same capacity, if a correlation could be drawn then we could have SSD's matching HDD capacities within a few short years. Sounds less crazy if you think about it. The technology is already there.
Good times ahead.
Yeah capacity wise its a good thing… but price wise, we'd have to wait and see… i think OCZ already had some 1TB+ SSDs a year back but they were for PCIe and above $1k mark… i think it sat at around $3k ish if i remember correctly…
Well, increasing capacity requires process shrinks to make the nand smaller. Without those shrinks, capacity can't be increased too much (in the same 2.5" form factor). So it is definately going to take a while because they are already producing circuits at such a small scale that they are hitting limitations of current fabrication technology. They are overcoming those limitations but improvements are slowing down because of the amount of R&D required is now increasing exponentially.
That's quite true, I was going to say that in the interim, a 3.5" form factor could be a cheat cut to capacity gains but obviously not an ultimate solution. I'm not sure anyone would do the 3.5" SSD though… Or could they physically get more on a PCIe card?
Anyway it's all pretty exciting, 1TB is already far more than I need in an SSD but I wonder where HDD capacity will be at when 2TB SSD's are <$1000.
Definately. I wouldn't be surprised about a 3.5" SSD to be honest. All it's going to take is a manufacturer who thinks they can make more money. Also, if it's twice as big and has twice as many memory chips to access, the 3.5" drive with a current generation memory controller will break speed records and give bragging rights to the manufacturer's marketing department.
The PCIe versions are dead to home users. But if they could manage 1tb on a PCIe card ages ago, they can probably hit 4tb on one now.
Rough conversion to aud is about $549… which is ~57c/gb… now to figure out if i have the cash for it….
EDIT
Just had a look, the price seems to be higher then mentioned in the title…
I'm seeing $529 USD + $34.66 USD delivery.
Is there a code for the delivery maybe?
