Was looking for some USB sticks for school and for the parental units and saw this marked down. Save $80 apparently… Might be able to piggy back it onto the other BigW deal I saw today?? (Can't remember where I saw/found it. Will update if I can.)
Not as good as last deal for the 512gb model, but for a 256gb SSD model, it's not too bad.
Was located at BigW in Singleton, NSW. Your local store may have some, none or not on sale.
Way better options, you can get sandisk ones for about $69 for a 2.5" ssd internal
its that price because its nearly 5 years old.
yeah this is still expensive for what it is is….
my 256gb samsung was $120 at eofy sale at jb as they price matched HN and that uses lastest samsung 3d nand and controller for portable drive.
512GB ones are the same price if you can find them. I grabbed one from Noosa Civic on the way past the other day.
scarcer than hens teeth they are…
Yeah for the price I'd say you're better off getting one of the 2.5" internals and sticking it in a $10 caddy.
Yes, but check the performance of the caddy before you buy. I had a Patriot caddy from MSY, and it was really fast, but is a little bulky and has sharp corners. I bought an aluminium USB3 slimline caddy from a Chinese online supplier, moved the SSD across, and it was much slower.
Four of these in Brisbane CBD store as of 10:00 this morning. Also Carindale had a few last week, when I got the last 512GB one…
Can I take the drive out of this and replace my slow as heck 2TB laptop internal drive, or are there better options?
