Crucial MX500 SSD's 20% off at Futu Online. Prices are reasonable when compared to Staticice (pre-shipping) prices. Here's what you can get:
done :)
good stuff!
every time there's an ssd deal, I get pretty excited.
but then I think, hey, I don't have a use for another ssd :( kinda sucks :D
well …i have 1 tb would like 2 tb but the bigger drives are still bit pricey per gb if you already have 1 tb drive …. more a want than need.
the 500 gb is a nice price though and some family members need to move from win 7 to win 10 on laptops so its a good time to swap out.
precisely! it's a matter of preference, but I struggle to fill 256gb ssd's on both my windows machines.
media collection is stored on external huge drive anyway, and if I want to watch something on a flight, I just load onto the device as needed..
essentially you only need ssd as your boot and programs drive, and I have never hit the ceiling for this on any of my previous machines.
These 1-2tb models seem to be getting better priced lately
still that $300 1tb and $600 2 tb mark as a rule. of thumb.
would have expected 2 tb to be cheaper per GB as they only add nand and it’s one controller and case
Looking fwd to the day bulk storage could shift to these, probably need 4-8tb but one day… Than hard drives can go there way.
Waiting for m.2 SSD sales. but this is soo tempting
Prices on SSDs bad again? I think I got the MX300, M.2 SSD 1TB from Amazon for less. Also put it in an m.2 -> 2.5 caddy so when I get a machine which can take an M.2 directly, I can just put it in.
(no, the MX300 isn't NVME, it's just regular SATA but it's small as heck, less space needed in your case / cables)
The MX300 is an older drive with inferior design / performance so Crucial went back to the drawing board quick-smart, and released the MX500 which addressed many of the MX300's issues.

I thought the MX300 M.2 was different? Maybe I'm wrong. It's honestly pretty fine for me.
Either way, I don't think they've done an MX500 M.2, have they?
Grabbed the 250GB. Thanks.
Want to get the 2TB but will regret it later.
Still waiting for 6TB for $200…
damn… bought this with the PAMPER20 code when it was $198 (-20%)… it's $197 (-20%) now.. OzB fail on my part!
it is normal price now. I got 250G MX500 for $75.
where? proof?
Yes, not such a bargin - seems to be the normal price for these now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078C515QL
Also seen the lowest local price yet for a 4TB SSD ($1303.44 after the coupon, plus free/variable postage):

I bought one (and will be making an appointment to attend NAND Addicts Anonymous) but it left me with some hesitation about recommending the store, as I came home to it sitting in my letterbox. Authority to leave, for a $1300 item :-/
I just need 12 of these for a really nice NAS
Seriously tho, putting that in a NAS is a waste with limited 1Gbps Ethernet
Friend, thats assuming its a 1gbps nas. Many have sfp so 10gbit is no issue
Ugh…That 500GB one…
Why get this when you could buy the Ramsta S600… practically the Eneloops of SSD's
Reliability. If an SSD crashes, it's often impossible to get the data back.
Hi are these compatible with this https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-i5-8250U-GeForce-A515-51G-515J/dp/B075KCJHMD/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref=oh_aui_i_d_old_o0_img
Probably a good idea to put prices in title bud!
