Not sure if this is a pricing error but this SSD is selling for close to or over $100 according to Pricehipster.
Price is the same on the umart eBay store but they want an extra $22 for postage or C&C.
Don't forget 1% cashback with Cashrewards - thanks @zhenwen
I'll hold some of them for you :)
Screw it, ordered four :)
Screw it? it comes without a bracket!
Copped a couple, cheers OP :)
Hey dude, have you received the product? I put it in an external enclosure but it does not want to recognised even though the laptop rekon that usb 3 is connected but nothing showed up
Yeah works fine for me in an external enclosure, used it in two different ORICO USB 3 enclosures and worked fine for transferring data. Make sure to go into Disk Management and format the drive, it should show up in there.
Bought one to use as a permanently on POS wallet machine. Just in case it gets knocked over. Thanks!
Great, much better performance over the bloody Kingston A400 and WD Greens that keep appearing. Similar pricing too. Thanks
Just got my ready to collect email :)
Nice find
the rrp on the website is $59
Showing as $109 in their ebay store.
You can always wait and pay full RRP if you want.
Considering recent $99 480gb Kingston deal - I would say this pricing is plausible.
Pretty sure this will end up being refunded as a price error the RRP is definitely not $59
Well the next cheapest is $107 on eBay- more power to you if it goes through though
hmm just noticed it was first added in 2014 - Guess its possible who knows ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Chinese selling this for around $40 for a few weeks already.
i'm seeing $10 standard shipping, not 22 ?
Picked up today. Hope you gave it a shot. Thanks for posting OP!
nice find op!
Shipping to NSW is $11 is anyone is curious, it makes you create an account before you can see that info
cracker deal for Ultra II
not the typical SSD Plus
Delivery is to add $11.
Does it worth it $60?
Don't forget cashrewards!
IS the Vic store reopened??
Sweet got two.
$11 standard shipping.
Same, great deal. Have used Sandisk SSDs for years without ever an issue.
Might as well at this price! I mean I've still got WD Green SSDs in their boxes but I might need them one day xD
It's a shame all the NSW stores are sold out though..
Thanks OP just purchased one to use as a new game drive. I'd like to remind all PC gamers, especially with Battlefield V coming up, that SSD's can cut down hugely on loading times between servers and matches!
i literally just bought one from the computer alliance sale less than an hour ago damn it
Looks like they are out of stock.
not for me
Not yet. Still available VIC, QLD & Delivery.
Got me one, tiny bit sad about fees for payment though.
Dont forget voucher codes PENNY5 and for some PHENOM (which doesnt work for me) on ebay!
Need $50 spend for PHENOM. Maybe buy a $1 pencil.
Spot on!
Don't know why PHENOM doesn't work for me though..
Pretty sure it starts tomorrow - I tried too
where do you put promo code on umart site ?
Promo code is for ebay. No code required for umart site.
cheers
cheaper to buy from site, not ebay. Ebay slug me $22 postage :(
Site just costs $11.90 for postage and Paypal fee
Lol. Don't waste your time. You're sure to get a pricing error excuse and an offer to buy for $99
Glad I wasted my time, both units dispatched.
$60.90 total for shipping plus card payment. Still a good deal
Worked for me :)
I grabbed one at $60.90 for my laptop :)
thanks OP
seems like I picked up last one from Eight Mile Plains QLD . Now it says Pre-Order…
Worth while deal, one going in lappy, one in desktop for games, if it gets refunded so what, I don't actually need them, but the price is pretty good.
Great price. Bought 2 for pickup at the Milton Store. Work just around the corner so very happy. Don't really need them but thanks OP. Might put one into a USB enclosure.
Got one tx OP !
Thanks, bought two.
Great deal, OP. Bought none, don't need any.
great, thank you, hope it is going to be honored. need one for my desktop :)
$56 shipping for north QLD from eBay. What is the use of eBay Plus then :/
Grabbed one with $11 shipping and paid Direct-Deposit to avoid 1.5% PayPal charge. Thanks OP. Still a great price.
Been wanting to upgrade unraid 128gb ssd for vms to 256gb for a while. Cheers op! Fingers crossed its honoured!
it shows as $69 for me?
Looks like they've increased the price. Try the ebay store, it's still showing $49.
Yeah…with $22 delivery.
Perfect timing, my HDD failed last week and today I found out that all my HDDs are 9mm and my laptop is built for 7mm.
So I was going to spend 66 for some random SSD, then I saw this…I did pay 63 due to express shipping, but for the quality still worth it.
get an external case, and it becomes a very cheap portable external USB drive (240GB SSD)
Hi, wondering if you know whether this would be a viable option for editing 4k video as an external drive plugged in to a 3 year old mac book pro.
If it has USB 3 then yes
eBay store price is still showing $49, but delivery (or even click & collect) is an extra $22. PENNY5 coupon works, which brings it to the grand total of $68.55.
no free shipping..not worth..
Thanks OP bought 3 C&C
ebay is also now 69 - 10% for code
just received payment confirmation, hope that it's a good sign!
Their eBay store are a Bunch of scammers. Want $36 for postage.
Your Umart order is now being packed
Your order has now been processed and we are now preparing your items for delivery.
WOO!
sounds good! congrats! How long is between this update and previous regarding payment confirmation?
9 minutes total. 11:50 —> 11:59.
Thank you! my confirmation was at 11:50 as well, but quite since then, let's wait :)
collected from store no problem at $49
packaging dated 2015 made in malaysia , clearing old stocks i guess
Which store was this? My order is still listed as processing. Thanks!
Milton QLD
i got the ready to collect notification at 9am this morning
Yep, I picked up my order from Milton this morning. Was impressed with their efficient service.
Direct Deposit may be slowing things down for some of us.
I used express shipping, but perhaps using paypal and standard shipping might even have been faster than using DD and Express. Since they won't dispatch, until the payment is cleared.
Of course store is best, but can't find the time.
If you have an SSD, at what point would a new/faster SSD make any difference in your usage?
When it is actually installed in your computer and it is used as the primary boot drive for your operating system and software.
Apart from the obvious, the general jist of it is SSD technology will be markedly different if you compare models with 10 years between them.
I have a Crucial 480GB M500 SSD for boot, which I gather is a 2013 product
https://www.storagereview.com/crucial_m500_ssd_review
This looks like a 2014
https://www.anandtech.com/show/8520/sandisk-ultra-ii-240gb-s…
I don't know how to compare. But I'm using a gen3 i5 base.
this is the comparison, If you model is the same (change if it is different)

Thanks OP! Just got collection email for Hurstville(NSW) store today. Chose cash/debit option so didn't have to pay the extra 1.5%!
Cancelled for me. Refund of payment notification that's all. No explanation
Did your payment clear?
IF you check the Umart site, their stock is plentiful. Although, it may be the new stock. I did notice that they had low stock then after a day or so, stock was replenished.
Perhaps they were only happy to honor the old stock. Clearance.
