Not long since the Computer Alliance deal; this time cheaper because of delivery being included.

The Crucial MX500 is slightly cheaper, but I think I'll go the Samsung based on the durability factor alone.

Handy information from AlienC in the last post:

    Need a price war :(
    SSD prices still relatively high compared to when futu/SE was having a war with pcbyte

    I still can't believe how low the price has gone on these. If RAM wasn't so expensive I'd do a new desktop build!

      It's after SSD prices had significantly increased, though - people forget you could buy basically the same capacity for basically the same price in numerous deals two years ago.

    It sells for 249$ on newegg and free shipping as well

      That's before GST, ends up $4 cheaper

      you add GST its $272.80
      Still cheaper tho

        every time someone mentions GST on an imported/grey item Gerry H gets a year younger…

          I heard it was a "woody"

  • nfr on 06/09/2018 - 12:19

    Why does Samsung have higher TBW but lower hours of reliability?

    • particle on 06/09/2018 - 13:27
      +1

      1.8 million hours is over 200 years. It's easy to put almost any big number on that since it'll never be tested in our lifetime, but safe to say it should last a lifetime if the drive doesn't exceed its endurance rating.

      Endurance rating is something reviewers can easily test, plus it places a limit on warranty, so manufacturers can't exaggerate that number without being exposed in reviews or getting more warranty claims for high endurance failures.

      We've certainly come a long way from hard drives that had as little as 2400 power-on hours / 100 continuous days (Seagate Barracuda about 5 years ago).

    based on the durability factor alone.

    The least important factor.

    • RedHab on 06/09/2018 - 12:52

      Yes, unless you are thrashing it on a server hosting a huge database or doing lots of editing of video files, 1 to 4 TBW per year is typical for most home/gaming users.

      It does matter when you want to claim warranty especially how long is the warranty (5 years).

    Not buying until it goes back to 225$ :)

    Agreed $225

  • idonotknowwhy on 06/09/2018 - 14:45

    10TB when?

    • Scab on 07/09/2018 - 09:36

      After 9 TB.

      • idonotknowwhy on 07/09/2018 - 09:51

        What if they skip 9?
        I don't remember 9tb hdds

    Waiting for eBay birthday specials

  • allenrong88 on 06/09/2018 - 15:57

    Any retailers who accepts afterpay or zippay have this type of decent price of SSD? Anyone knows?

  • sharks on 06/09/2018 - 16:41

    Any 2tb deals from them?

  • PleasureMe on 06/09/2018 - 22:11

    Would these be any good in a NAS? If not, what would be the best brand/model of SSDs for a NAS like QNAP.

    • idonotknowwhy on 07/09/2018 - 12:06

      They'd be great in terms of performance, power consumption, heat and noise.
      Not so great in terms of value though.
      If I win the lottery I'll set this up myself (but first I have to start playing the lottery).

  • EnergicAU on 07/09/2018 - 09:33

    None left :(

  • xylarr on 07/09/2018 - 13:34

    SATA based SSDs should really be on the way out for new builds. Even the slowest NVMe drives are way faster. Just make sure you have a motherboard with a PCIE M.2 connector.

    • burgermaniac on 09/09/2018 - 19:37

      Nothing stopping people/professionals from using this as cheap, but faster than mechanical driver storage? I got 4 SanDisk SSDs in a Raid 5 and achieve 1.4 Gigabyes per second, and have 1 drive available to fail. Works well for me, and don't plan on upgrading to M.2 anytime soon.
