Oh and $15 delivery to Vic
Just bought Samsung Evo SSD 500gb sata for $145.84 from Kogan.
How?:
$195 listed price on kogan
-$10 friends signup credit
-$30 voucher purchased from ebay
-$20 voucher purchased from ebay
+$10.84 voucher cost for ebay voucher
- free ship via shipsterFinal delivered price $145.84
how do you get the $50 voucher from ebay?
Check eBay listings people selling $50 Kogan voucher for $10.84. voucher valid for minimum purchase of $120.
(profanity) me that's the bigger deal right there! All these unused codes I've been ignoring I can list on eBay!
Can you please share a link to the product. Thanks
Note that it's import from HK.
Also requires new Kogan account for $10 off referral and you need to have the 2 month Shipster trial for free delivery, otherwise it's $9 delivery.
And not m.2 of course.
Create new account with your own invite code & make that even $10 cheaper.
Cheers :)
This is a winning price, but once you have gone to M.2 it's really hard to go back to using cables to connect drives. It just feels primitive. I don't know I can go back to drives that don't connect straight to the motherboard.
Wow, seems like there should be more Kogan Tech deals then, if we can easily get -$50~ for lots of deals.
Nice find!
This is mainly a winner due to m.2. If you don't care about m.2, get a normal 2.5" ssd, they can be had for $150 range when there's a good deal.
Not sure why i'm getting downvoted - the 2.5" version of this exact ssd is cheaper (when you find a deal). I posted this deal because i'd been searching for an m.2. 500gb for sub $200 for a long time and finally found one…
Where was this deal that you found? I could find only one OzB deal for the 2.5" 500GB 850 EVO below A$150 and that's a refurb from the US: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/366502
Enjoyyy just posted above for $145…
If you just want sata ssd (not 850 evo) then theres mx500, mx300 etc for $160~ from amazon (not on sale). If you find a sale it will be less than $150.
@aong152: There is no warranty from Samsung Australia for imported SSDs. You are giving up 4 years of manufacturer's warranty buying from Kogan HK. And that refurb deal only had a 30-day warranty.
Get a SATA PRO over a M.2. EVO.
The reliability is far more important than the superficial speed increase.
Just keep in mind this is a SATA III SSD in a M.2 package. Not a "true" nvme M.2
I cant see this being notably faster than a sata connected SSD.
The only real plus here is you just plug it straight into your board as opposed to running power and sata leads to it.
This is 500gb, please update to save a click
