Awesome, thanks champ!
I bought this HDD from an ebay sale late last year. If I didn't have it up and running by now I would be angry. I did a clone using a program called "EaseUS Todo Backup Free 8.8" after the Samsung clone software failed.
Yep, that's my experience with Samsung clone in 3 different upgrades…. fails at 99%, but EaseUS always worked
Good deal. I'm just disappointed it's not that much better than local prices
I'm waiting for a real "deal" on this drive, something like <$110But thanks for posting OP :) always good to see
I got it from SE last year for $200 delivered. AU Dollar is bit stronger compared to that time, so not sure if it is a good price unless you want it now.
It's been around this price for the last couple months though, in various sales. So what I'm waiting for is a big new sale
Yeah people keep posting goodish ssd deals like 10 or 20 bucks cheaper than me popping into msy today to grab one.
Something 150ish would be nice instead of these consistently $200+ deals. Anything around $100 is a piece of trash ssd usually posted by some guy called lyl.
I got a samsung evo 850 500gb last year during the ebay $100 money back deal for a cash back deal of $140. Excellente.
@Bloody Noses:
When I first commented on this deal, I would swear it was the 250gb for $119
Which kind of changes what I was saying haha
If you have an AMEX card it still is cheaper to go through Kogan at the moment bearing in mind grey imports etc.

2.5” mechanical drives are bullet proof vs these SSDs
You're kidding right? Had a few fail on me.
SSDs have no moving parts so aren't prone to "physical" failure unlike mechanical harddrives.But my samsung 830 died after 3 years. 2 months out of its warranty.. :(
Buddy, this is an 850.
a quick check on new egg and amazon for reviews.. 850 evo's failing .. try and find intel 535 drives failing.. you cant no users have reported failed 535 drives but hundreds have reported Samsung 850 evo's
Sir, you may want to supply people with a source and double check the source is actually legit, because this drive has had raving reviews from every outlet.
Newegg for example, 5 eggs out of 592 people.
Amazon 86% 5 stars.
Samsung is a very popular drive, would it be fair to think more Samsung drives have been purchased than Intel drives, which would distort any statics about failing drives.
I use and my friends use, a mix of Samsung 840 and 850 drives and we have never seen a problem with them.
The number of reviews can tell a story:

computer people ! would this be a good SSD to replace my HDD on my 2012 macbook pro? thanks
Definitely!
Absolutely, just ordered one for my 2012 MacBook Pro. You can also off eBay buy a $10 adapter to get rid of the old CD drive and put your current hard drive in that slot and the new SSD in for 1TB of total storage.
If you don't mind DickSmith (owned by Kogan now), it's $199 with Free shipping. https://www.dicksmith.com.au/da/buy/samsung-850-evo-250gb-ss…
