    Thanks, just ordered one for a steam drive.

      I was really tempted to do this too - but have 600GB of games so it would have to be only a partial library. Kicking myself that I missed out on the 960GB one the other day.

        Why would you have 600gb worth of games installed at the one time?

  • Anyone use this with the Alienware Alpha?

    • I use 840 EVO for my Alienware Alpha. Not a problem whatsoever.

      • Cheers man. What was the performance like speed wise? And was it a hassle to transfer all your data to the SSD?

        • It's a BIG upgrade if you still on HDD.

          No, you can search on YouTube. In a nutshell, backup everything using Alienware back software on a usb drive, and dump the data on the SSD. Very simple if you followed instructions.

        • Cheers. What enclosure did you use for it?

    Thanks, been eyeing this lately so you just saved me a bunch

      It's time for you to buy a reliable keyboard, without a sticking Caps Lock.

          Hey bro, is this a reliable brand of SSD?

          I don't think anyone's asked this question.

          @Amar89: YES THIS IS A RELIABLE BRAND IF ANYONE IS WONDERING

        • @Amar89: lol, he still didn't get it Amar :)

          @Gaggy:

    Great price.. But waiting for another eBay $100 voucher sale.

  • how does this compare to the sandisk ultra II?

    • +5

      Samsung 850 EVO has 5 year warranty.
      Sandisk Ultra II has 3 year warranty.

      • Another plus is Samsung comes with the cloning software to copy your old HDD. Sandisk does not. I found Samsung Evos to be optimised better as well.

    • I don't think that's AUD???

    • Who here is ordering from newegg?

    • +2

      It's not in AUD or deliverable to Australia.

  • Also discounts on some seagate drives that are eligible for the $30 cashback from seagate. $270 delivered for the 8tb after cashback.

    • +4

      Are we comparing the same apple here?

  • +2

    should i hold until tomorrow and see if the ebay 15% off make it even cheaper? hmm

  • Can someone pls confirm if the SATA III will work in the MS Dell Signature laptop which was on sale earlier?
