Best deal I have ever seen on a Branded SSD. Use the free eBay Plus trial to get it for $28.50 delivered as shipping is usually $14.95. Performance seems to be decent are far better than the generic deals you usually find at this price point.
Thanks to The Land of Smeg for the new link on shallothead.
You should see how quick a toaster works with a SSD inside.
as long as it runs Doom
At 60fps
one left :)
Probably, but minimum spend is $50 and it's sold out already lol that was quick
LOL one minute there was more than 10 available, next minute all gone. Someone must have bought them all for resale :\
Hard to believe you can buy an SSD for $28.50.
Great deal.
I bought a Samsung 860 500GB for $203 like 2 months ago 😪
Yer but that's just over 4x the size and a much better drive, I wouldn't stress.
Reasonably deal there, Rusty. The 860 is streets ahead in ssd performance.
Thanks. Although my PC is only using SATA2 so not getting full speeds. Makes me feel a bit better though. Got it from MSY Cannington (WA) btw.
I bought a 1050GB MX300 for 260$ three months ago. Did I win? 😎
Hard to believe you can buy an SSD for $28.50.
We had one for less over 4 years ago. (32Gb is still plenty for OS and apps)
Shallothead is same price for anyone interested: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Western-Digital-WD-Green-120GB-2…
thanks got one :)
Thanks. I thought I missed out.
thanks got one.
Wow, didn't even make to my PC. Sold out.
It's back, hurry up!
Wow what a crazy deal. I'm going to stock up.
Just bought the same drive for $41 delivered. Great price here, wish I hadn't of wanted it so soon
futu sold out, the other store is selling out quick!
Bought a pair to use in raid 0
Anddddddddd It's gone!
Was looking for a pair in raid 0 too late!
Bought 8 to use in raid 60
In the time it took Dinesh to fix my account so that it actually recognized I was in Australia (DUH!) this sold out. Salty af right now.
i remember the original pricing was around $43 free post, seller taking advantage of ebayplus. lol
Yeah I was wondering if this may have been the case…eBay opened up a can of worms if this is true…
Not our problem, we're here for the bargains - we're professionals after all ;)
yup i hope more vendors do this.
Best deal I have ever seen on a Branded SSD.
There are unbranded SSDs?
the really cheap ones that have been floating around on ozbargain
Even the cheap ones have brands.
so generic it barely counts
wd green's are typically slow drives for media storage, seems weird for a ssd which are used for fast access.
green is just their budget / low end line.
Never had one of these before, but installing windows on this would still be faster than using an old school mechanical drive right?
yep.
You will feel the power my friend
Out of curiosity, what's the use that people are getting out of these?
OS or external drive mostly.
pr0n backup
All i know is good for gaming coz it have good reading speed makes fast loading and good copying speed.
External drive. Cheaper and faster than expensive hi performance usb sticks.
I bought a ssd from futu via eBay about a week ago.
Anyone know why it would arrive in a shoppingexpress.com box?
Are they one and the same?
Yes,they are.
back in stock
Back in stock. Purchase 2x with PLUS15 code for 15% off!
Confirmed that this works!
Bought thanks OP
It is back again, and reported to OzBargain admin, post is active again… :)
How about PULL15 ?
You mean PLUS15?
Tried but does it work ?
See my comments above.
I didn't read the previous posts yet, but took the risk to wait:
used : https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/386521 (2% cashback)
2x 120GB, plus15 code : so paid $51 (and should get $1 in shopback, and some points on flybuys).
Now I just need to remember to cancel ebay plus on time.
Thanks @Reidyy123 and everybody!

Argh, used the PLUS15 in haste on a 256 MicroSD before I realised it could only be used once :(
Should have filled my basket first
Price at Shallothead has gone up to $35.00
Had it in my basket for $28.50 :(
Price now jacked increased from $30 to $35
Damn!
Seems to be the case with anything posted on here today. If it makes the front page, it's get a little price boost.
thanks op
Holy hell that's cheap. I bought a bunch and I'm going to put a SSD in all the things
edit: sorry if I would have know it would sell it so quick I'd only have bought 1. It's not for resale I promise
