    Excellent thanks…… been waiting on a decent drive for under 150 bucks.

      Keep waiting, not a decent SSD.

      • deanylev on 29/03/2016 - 21:26

        You clearly don't know anything about SSDs then, or have stupidly high standards. Get real, these SSDs are excellent, and for the price are a no-brainer. You expecting NVMe for this price? Ridiculous.

    This has to stop, there's a new lowest ever every week. My wallet cannot handle this anymore :(

      Just remembered that it's also been at this price 2 weeks ago, so equally lowest ever :)

      I know right?

      Every week this happens my bank account also reaches a new "lowest ever". :P

    Wow under $150 for 480GB. Didn't think I'd see that happen so soon. Thanks lyl.

  • littleannie on 29/03/2016 - 19:23

    The store page claims it ships to Adelaide, but when I estimate shipping and tax I get this "Some of the items in your order cannot be shipped to the selected address. Please select a new address to see your estimated order total."

    (The SSD is the only item in my cart.)

    • running on empty on 29/03/2016 - 22:26

      same here, I noticed I can't ship to Perth but the 240Gb version can..the difference is the seller, the 240gb is sold by Amazon directly but the 480gb is sold by MBM sales

        I just made the purchase to get it shipped to Perth. Checked out successfully !

    • shalashaska on 30/03/2016 - 07:18

      I purchased one shipped to Adelaide. Not sure where you went wrong?

  • shapers on 29/03/2016 - 19:26

    Hmm to buy or wait until it drops to its next lowest ever

    Can it be used for a desktop as well as a notebook since the post or the description doesn't say anything? As I remember typical HDDs are different from each other.

    • yoshi864 on 29/03/2016 - 19:41

      Can be used in anything with a SATA2 (or greater) connection.

      Although I'd recommend SATA3 to get maximum throughput.

      Whatever you use it in, if it's an upgrade from a HDD, the difference will be night and day.

    • xboxslam on 29/03/2016 - 20:02

      Yes, you can add it to desktop using this $7 accessory: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00G57BN1M/ref=pd_aw_fbt_147_i…

      • sillyhead on 29/03/2016 - 20:17

        You could just double sided tape to the bottom of the case. Alot of cases have a raised flap at the bottom for 2.5 inch drives nowadays.

      • scrimshaw on 29/03/2016 - 20:23

        I just use bluetack or some velcro strips. your desktop never moves from it's spot anyway, so it doesn't have to be screwed into anything.

        • MetalPhreak on 29/03/2016 - 21:05

          Not mechanical so don't have to worry about vibrations :)

      • macrocephalic on 29/03/2016 - 21:04

        I just put it into the bottom slot and screwed the screws in on one side. My case is rack mounted so it's not going anywhere, and the drive only weighs about 50g anyway.

  • 777 on 29/03/2016 - 19:55

    That an awesome price, thx op

    Great post OP, holding out to upgrade the lappy 120gb SSD, this will do nicely (p.s. same shipping cost to Tokyo if anyone cares which I assume you don't!)

  • xcal on 29/03/2016 - 20:01

      0, still waiting :(

  • agentsmithy on 29/03/2016 - 20:14

    I assume this would work with my 2009 iMac? It's a sata2 connection so I don't see why not right?

    Some people said for macs don't get an SSD with trim for some reason. Not sure if this does or doesn't :)

    • scrimshaw on 29/03/2016 - 20:24

      Macs, Pc's, all use the same interconnects and sata standards for storage, you don't need to worry about compatibility. SATA2 == SATA3 is cross compatible.

      You just won't be able to enjoy it's full 6gbs speed, but very likely you won't see a difference in everyday useage anyway.

    • coco1458 on 29/03/2016 - 20:35

      Don't worry too much about Trim, OS X 10.10.4 and above support Trim

      simply type in "sudo trimforce enable"
      without the " "

    Between these cheap amazon deals and the Kogan 20% ebay sale my new PC is coming together nicely…Slow but nice.

    I am using the same SSD right now. Bought it for around $200 couple of months back. I really can't tell the difference between my Samsung and this Sandisk. I run multiple VM from it concurrently. The VM do not do intensive I/O, but they boot quickly and run smooth. No complaints with the drive.

      The difference is benchmarks and online pissing contests :)

  • deanylev on 29/03/2016 - 21:26

    This price is insane! Good find OP :)

  • tdh78au on 29/03/2016 - 21:36

    I was contemplating replacing the seagate momentus 7200.4 in my Lenovo E520 with this one … but since existing seagate drive is SATA this SSD may not be suitable (as comments above mention SATA2+) ?

    • zealmax on 29/03/2016 - 21:39
      +1

      It will work. E520 SATA3.

      • tdh78au on 29/03/2016 - 21:55

        Thanks. Propped open the laptop cover to discover it's SATA 3Gb/s which is actually SATA II. So took a punt and bought. Picked up a USB to SATA III cable too.

  • arjay88 on 29/03/2016 - 22:11

    How do these compare to other 480G/500G SSDs on the market?

    • Carbon Door on 30/03/2016 - 00:17

      Benchmarks, probably slower. Real life performance most likely nothing unless you're time critical for every extra second

  • Bargearse on 29/03/2016 - 22:12

    Seems to have gone back up to $117 USD

    • songford on 29/03/2016 - 22:29

      Confirmed. It is $117 USD with my account as well.

    • G5 on 29/03/2016 - 22:29

      Amazon have sold out. It's reverted to a different seller.

    No offense but sandisk ssd's have never been known for their reliability like you claim in the description. In fact they're one of the least reliable with drive crashes galore. Comparable to the early days of Kingston, i mean sure sandisk hasnt been making consumer desktop drives as such for very long but i still dont think its right to call these one of the best when it really obviously isnt. It is a good deal however for a 480gb ssd, too bad it seems to be sold out from the comments above.

  • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 30/03/2016 - 12:58

    Worthwhile holding out for Ultra II imo. they "should" be higher quality
