About $30 cheaper than the next best I can find on SI, or about $16 cheaper than eBay price :)
Please return your OzBargain Professional license
:P
EC has a fair point :p
If it was Amazon , that's a different story as they cover warranty and return shipping
Good luck getting that service wth this mob 😌
Fair call.
I've bought 50+ of these, not one has needed to be sent back.
:)
You might be just the unlucky one 😬
Saying that I have a Samsung 830 SSD and a Toshiba SSD from 2010 (I think) that are still going strong 😏😏
However with mass production of SSDs, I expect that failure rate to be higher 🤔
B&H are pretty good with fast shipping of items and are a reputable seller, but like you say, I wouldn't want to deal with the hassle of sorting out a warranty return with them - not for a $16 saving anyway. I'd have to be saving at least double that to take the risk.
Agreed, I only buy from overseas when it's minimum 40 -50 % savings compared to best local price
Only then I'm willing to take the risk of item dying on me

But you're right, you could be the 0.18% with a failed drive.
@easternculture: >I expect that failure rate to be higher
No need to expect anything, it is not a new device and there is a low failure rate. The warranty is a waste of money, eat the cost of replacing low cost parts if and when they fail rather than paying more for every item you buy.
I would agree with your statement if I was saving a few hundred bucks , but if $13 would save me from beating myself up if the drive had failed , then I see it as a wise and smart investment 👍🏻
I remember paying $33 for 2 years of officeworks extended warranty on a printer. The printer failed a week before the extended warranty was due to expire. They ended up sending me a cheque for the printer price and got myself a free upgrade for a small investment 👍🏻
@easternculture: At times, I have different opinion for your comments, but I think here you have a very valid point and I won't personally buy internationally if it is for just couple of dollars more.
Does Amazon cover return shipping for Australian orders?
@Izefyre: I'd be more inclined to take the warranty risk, yes. Especially since these drives are pretty reliable. But at $16 it's not really worth it.
The 1TB 850 Evo I bought from Amazon France last year has died, so it does happen. Not sure if Amazon will cover warranty yet, but the way forward seems to be email [email protected].
They only cover 1st year
You have a ask for it (refunded return shipping) and they honour it for you
@easternculture: thanks for the tip. I found an email address to contact them in English.
Update: response within the hour offering refund or return. Thanks Amazon.
Samsung SSD….. you won't need it.
What do you mean? I own one and its perfectly fine.
Yeah I think he means you wont need the warranty as they are astoundingly reliable.
That is overseas - New Zealand.
I didn’t claim it’s local, just saying it’s not $16 cheaper than Ebay
👍🏻
I trust BHphoto more as he/she does not reply to any of my messages in the past. However, the saving from BHPhoto is not that great.
@Bargain Zombies: it will also be good for those who do not have fee free transction card. Also 1.3% cashback.
PINCH is the code expired?
edit : PINCH5
I meant PINCH5, sorry
According to the details I've seen, PINCH5 is valid until the end of the year.
good price, if only i needed it.
i need QC35's
With storage I'd be more concerned with cost of data on that drive should it fail. Then you're talking thousands so be sure to keep a backup of anything you value.
I would pay the extra $16 for local warranty hands down 👍🏻
