      Thanks, might get 2 x 480GB and RAID0 them.

  • Great price, but reviews point to slow transfer speeds for large files due to relatively small cache size, especially on the lower capacity models.

      in real life you can't notice the speed differences compared to the rest of the computer system. especially when it's to extend the life of a 5th gen Intel platform … one of my colleagues runs 2 ssd in raid on his i7 system to get performance but I don't think too many oz bargainers are that worried about speed to buy 2 SSD and run raid but more about gb per $ and reliability.

      interesting is that these are tlc nand and the Samsung equivalent is already vlc ( 3rd gen) . but ther is also a cost difference and the move to vlc is not just about reliability and yields but also about moving to affordable drives over 1 tb which is costly with tlc.

      these ocz drives look like great value for money for an Australian that has stores rather than shipping from USA and Amazon

    Getting close. When 1tb is $300 I will crack open my imac.

    • +2

      my 7 year old iMac has a WD 1 tb green in it …… when SSD 1 tb drives hit $300 it will get an upgrade and be the last platform in the house to be upgraded to SSD of less then 500 gb the 3 PCs and 5 note books have already been done, and smaller SSD handed down to the PS3 and tv media player .

      at this price why buy small SSD especially if the upgrade is a notebook or an iMac….iMac upgrades are not fun as the screen needs to be removed, but the software copies across so easily unlike Windows 10.

      • Yes not simple. I have a late 2013 which needs a temp sensor lead which costs 75bux delivered. I intend to leave the spinner in and connect it to a usb circuit. Connect the ssd into sata and leave the sensor hooked up to the spinner. Cost less than 10bux for sata ext. And sata usb converter and it all stays internal.

        • none of which would be a problem with a wintel or hackintosh

      • I'd love to swap my iMac to an SSD, when the prices drop a little more I'd like to do it. But how exactly? How do I make sure it's done properly, without wrecking it?

    • Why the neg votes? I never understand these people…
      It's a valid(ish) point to make.

    • yeah I'm waiting til I can just clone my 1tb main drive to SSD cheaply. The thought of reinstalling everything freaks me out.

      • +1

        If your running windows, you can just use the free program called Clonezilla http://clonezilla.org/ to clone the contents of one hard drive to another, i have been using it for years, works perfectly!

      Beware that OCZ Trion series got a known issue with MAC. I got one 120GB and cracked my old Macbook, use different clone methods to clone MAC OS No joy. Then loaded with Windows, running happily on my Macbook.

      Checked the OCZ forum, someone already posted there is issue with MAC OS.

  • So temped to chunk this in my ps4 the load times in fallout4 real kill the feel of the game.

    Why would anyone buy that over a SanDisk 960GB Ultra II Internal Solid State Drive SSD 2.5" 550MB/s SDSSDHII-960G
    AU $349.95

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SanDisk-960GB-Ultra-II-Internal-S…

    Which is a far better drive.

      the sandisk is a nice drive but if you need one for the weekend you can get it from msy rather than wait for the postman, especially if getting other bits from msy already eg usb-sata cable or a case to house the old drive after the upgrade. if people are doing notebook upgrades then there are many other things that limit performance.

      it's only the guys on i7 6th gen over locked Z motherboard tower platforms that squeeze performance to the point that the SSD is a bottle neck. and they are a small part of the market.

      for most people it's how do I bolt it in, how do I move Windows or OS X onto it….." wow not it's much faster"

      I stopped looking at performance of SSD long time ago now it's just endurance (how long will it last with average use and how many extra cells have they put into the case to relocate cells as they fail) and GB per $.

      a wine wholesaler once told me that the people who read reviews and attend tastings represent only 5% of wine consumers…. because I'm one of those 5% it's easy to feel everybody is as passionate as I am and I though the number was more like 50%.

      be interesting if $350 becomes the new norm for 1 tb SSD especially with our poor AU$.

      • +3

        if you need one for the weekend

        This is how people typically buy SSDs. You totally have a point here.

        • +1

          Usually I plan my upgrades months in advance. I dont just decide hrm I think I need a SSD this weekend when I wake up in the morning =P

          Go for it and buy this for $10 more than a quality brand like Sandisk if people cant wait 2-3 days for postage from Australia.

        • @Vyviel:

          That's how I bought my last SSD :)

          I knew my HDD was tired, woke up hit the start button HDD dead, have breakfast, drive to MSY and grab SSD, fit drive, have coffee whilst win 10 installing, use computer.

        a wine wholesaler once told me that the people who read reviews and attend tastings represent only 5% of wine consumers…

        people like to be told what to consume - sometimes, they're lucky and get close to what they thought they wanted but to get the exactly what is wanted requires effort and knowledge.

      I'm not sure it's actually any better if you look at the tests:

      http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/SanDisk-Ultra-II-960GB-…

      The Samsung drives would generally be better but surprisingly this SanDisk doesn't really shine.

    • Would that be a trusted seller?

      Not sure how I feel about buying from eBay for this sort of thing.

  • don't worry about the speed ….. once you have an SSD the upgrade driver is more SSD storage ….. haven't heard of many people swapping out one 500gb SSD for another due to speed, but they do as they upgrade from 500gb to 1 tb ….. so whatever you buy now, the next upgrade will be to bigger not same size faster. we have more manufactures moving to 3D nand and now 3D xpoint is the what we might be buying in 2 years….. SSD is like marriage, people divorce and upgrade, your SSD isn't a lifetime commitment, and the separation cost is cheap with SSD and the next one will be younger more beautiful and faster….. but you need an SSD now.

  • Gees, my 850 pro 512GB at $370 a few months ago makes me wanna cry.

    Granted, different performance and endurance but double the price? Doubt it.

  • I still have 2 500gb mx200 SSD in their boxes …… depreciating faster than I can use them.
