  • You need eBay plus to get those prices FYI, have updated

    • +1

      Thank you

  • +2

    If you use 2x PayPal $100 giftcards (at 10% off) to pay towards this, you'll effectively pay $200.50…

    But if you use 3x…OMG…$198.45…the $200 EVO 860/TB barrier can be broken!

  • Thanks OP.

  • Anyone know if i can buy this and transfer my current OS installation and programs etc over?

    Or do you need to install everything again?

    Thanks

      Samsung actually have their own cloning software which I have used to clone my boot drive without issue.

      • +2

        I've recently tried macrium, Samsung, and Acronis.
        Acronis worked best, some programs needed reinstalling using the other two

        • I had the opposite experience with the Samsung app + Macrium Reflect; both worked perfectly, and on numerous builds + upgrades. I don't know about the Samsung software, but MR has a pretty good rep, I doubt it would be randomly dropping bytes that causes some applications to be uninstalled or not working.

    • +1

      You need an USB to SATA cable then use any Disk cloning software. I use the free version of EaseUs

      • No you don't, just clone it with the Samsung Software. Only thing to remember is to remove or change the boot order in BIOS for next boot (then wipe the old drive)

    • Thanks for replies.

      So do I connect old and new ssd at the same time and clone using software?

    • +2

      i use the free version of easeus, works a treat, no reinstalling of software or reactivating of windows, it also allows you to alter partition sizes after you’ve cloned and are up and running again. you will need a spare sata port and cable or get a sata-usb3 adapter, or a sata-usb3 case so you can use the old drive for something.

  • $15 postage

    • +1

      not with ebay plus… free

  • Bought futu deal 500GB*2 late last night…
    Paid but not shipped yet. I am going to request a cancallation

    • I bought that deal last night too
      Why would you cancel?

      • Then get 500GB*2 from this deal instead, which saves up to $13.5.
        Most importantly, this deal with GC&CW makes the price less than $200, it is a milestone! Hahaha.

  • +1

    THANK YOU!!! Been waiting for the price to drop below $200 didn't think it'll happen so quickly!

    • Do you want to wait more ??.. I will go down further..

      • +1

        This price is good enough for me, $40 cheaper than last deal just 2 weeks ago.
        It's going to be the game drive, can't download all the games atm with my 250gb sys drive. Next thing is wait for a good price to upgrade nvme.

        Btw you don't have to go down with me :p

        • You picked up mate. What's further, rusty trombone?

      • That's what I have figured. Purchased my first SSD about a month ago, one of those ramsta 480GB drives which goes all right. THen I purchased the WD 240GB for a portable and now I want a 1TB but not point as I have all this portable storage so going to hold off.

        • Next thing you know it's $150 for 1tb lol

    • only via use of gift cards and ebay plus …..not exactly click buy it now and pay with paypal …..so we haven’t quite hit the $200 mark without effort or stealth.

      • +4

        anyhow I paid less than $200

  • Does anyone know if 860 Evo SSD is compatible with Sata 2?

    • All sata 3 are.

    • Yes.

  • Gift card is out of stock…

    • +1

      Yeah they ran out yesterday. The OP is suggesting using the 10% off for those who already purchased the gift cards.

  • Probably a newbie question but I keep reading about these 10% off gift cards. How do you get them?

    • Buy them yesterday on the PayPal eBay store.

      Today, they’re out of stock.

    • Step one: procure a DeLorean…

  • +1

    And I thought I snatched up a bargain when I bought the Evo 860 500GB for $135 a couple of months ago. Great price!

  • Does this come with the Desktop PC mounting hardware?

    • No, 2.5" screw holes only on side and bottom

    • Just use duct tape

  • Postage 15…

    • It’s been mentioned before. It’s free postage with ebay plus. If you don’t have ebay plus then the other deal is better.

      • $15 postage while only being $8 cheaper than Futu's free shipping deal..not paying $49 just for 1 ssd deal..

        $15 postage for ssd by a retailer is joke…they pay very low price for shipping.

        • +2

          $15 postage for ssd by a retailer is joke…they pay very low price for shipping.

          $15 is the flat rate for everything, if they send 10 SSD's, it's still $15 (yet their cost would increase most likely above $15). It's a fair enough model. Would you rather a mixed shipping model whereby you might pay $10 for this, but $30 for a monitor? I doubt it.

    • Just bought the 500GB Evo here for $119.70 including delivery using PAYGRADE

  • Already been dispatched.
    That was quick

  • I sent a question to their store via eBay asking if they were getting any more stock of the 1TB model, received a reply saying they may be in the next day or two, then boom, eBay sale ends and suddenly there's more stock.

    Load of crap, I certainly expected more from Computer Alliance.

    • What did you expect exactly?

      • That a reputable business wouldn't lie to their potential customers?

        • You're not making sense. They have no control over the eBay code - eBay themselves offer and withdraw those at their own discretion. And whether or not you use a site wide code makes no difference to CA - it's eBay covering the discount, not the seller - there's no incentive for them suddenly make stock available after the code has expired - they receive the same amount of money either way.

          Your allegation of dishonestly seems to be an uninformed overreaction.

          • @dm01: I'm completely aware of how eBay sales work, but that still doesn't explain why stock suddenly appeared after the sale ended.

            • @magic8ballgag: Because they've probably just confirmed they are receiving stock in the next two days, so are perfectly able to pre-sell that stock today and still be able to ship it out within the specified handling time.

              It's really not difficult to think this stuff out…you really should give Thought a try rather than just assuming everyone's out to deceive you.

              • @dm01: Gee, your life must be pretty black and white if you think that it was just a coincidence that the stock replenished itself automatically as soon as the sale ended.

                I don't think anyone is out to deceive me, and I probably wouldn't have mentioned anything had I not messaged them 10 minutes prior to the sale ending, but the intention is clear - you can choose to believe it or not.

                • @magic8ballgag: Of course it's a coincidence - why would they deliberately withhold stock until after a code they have no control over has expired?

                  If they have knowingly had more stock there (or about to arrive), why would they not want to sell it to you? You've claimed you know how the eBay site wide codes work, so you'd know then it makes no difference to their revenue whether you purchase using the voucher or not, so what was their supposed "intention"? You're yet to put forward a sensible explanation, just thoughtless claims.

                  • @dm01:

                    Of course it's a coincidence - why would they deliberately withhold stock until after a code they have no control over has expired?

                    I don't know, why would they?

                    My best guest is they knew the end time of the sale, and set a schedule to replenish stock at that time, or they simply waited until the sale ended and did it manually, either way it doesn't sit right with me.

                    • @magic8ballgag: Utter rubbish. You have no idea.

                      • @dm01: I'm open for you to suggest other possible scenarios apart from: "nah you know nothing and you're wrong."

                        • @magic8ballgag: You're the one alleging they've lied to you, yet when challenged as to why they'd want to do so your only "scenario" is "I don't know, why would they?"

                          I've already told you why; they ran out of stock, waited to get confirmation of the arrival of their next shipment, and then re-listed accordingly. If you can't grasp the simplicity of that scenario, and just normal that is in a retail enterprise, then you might want to steer clear of online shopping in future.

                          So go ahead - prove you know "something" and actually suggest why your conspiracy makes sense…I'm waiting…

                          • @dm01: I never alleged any such thing, I just made it out that it seems fishy, and I offered a much better scenario than what you did.

                            they ran out of stock, waited to get confirmation of the arrival of their next shipment, and then re-listed accordingly.

                            ..right at 12:00pm on the dot, at the same time the eBay sale ended - nothing suspicious I guess. rolls eyes

                            So go ahead - prove you know "something" and actually suggest why your conspiracy makes sense

                            I can't explain that to someone that thinks the way you do, it's simply not possible and I'd be wasting both of our time.

                            • @magic8ballgag: I said:

                              You're the one alleging they've lied to you…

                              then you replied:

                              I never alleged any such thing, I just made it out that it seems fishy, and I offered a much better scenario than what you did.

                              But your first reply to me when I asked 'What did you expect exactly', was (emphasis mine):

                              That a reputable business wouldn't lie to their potential customers?

                              So yeah, you alleged they lied to you - it's right there in black and white, you just need to scroll up a little.

                              I can't explain that to someone that thinks the way you do, it's simply not possible and I'd be wasting both of our time.

                              I agree with you there - you can't explain. You seem to prefer conspiracy and complaints. But, still I invite you - supposed sayer of sensible scenarios - offer up an actual reason why CA would lie about their stock to prevent you using the code?

                              • @dm01: I expected it, which doesn't mean they did that - how am I to know whether that was the case or not?

                                offer up an actual reason why CA would lie about their stock to prevent you using the code?

                                I could do that, and I could also come to your house and wipe your bum for you, but I prefer to let a grown adult do the thinking for themselves - so I guess it's easier to just stamp your feet and deny any kind of thought-process outside of your own brain.

                                • @magic8ballgag:

                                  …so I guess it's easier to just stamp your feet and deny any kind of thought-process outside of your own brain.

                                  Who's stamping their feet and in denial? You're the one alleging an eBay seller lied to you about stock levels without any reason other than missing out on a deal!

                                  As is well known, and as I've I've pointed out already, whether you purchase with a site-wise code or without, CA make the same amount of money, so what reason would they have to purposefully not replenish stock levels?

                                  What's more likely…they just decided to tell you it wasn't in stock and risk missing a sale…or they were exercising due diligence and confirming when stock would be arriving before allowing further sales?

                                  I'm open to an alternative…or you can just keep claiming you've been lied to (and then lie about claiming you've been lied to despite the evidence being right here on the page! 😂)

                                  • @dm01: Your guess is as good as mine, but I'm not the one flat out denying the possibility of intent here.

                                    Enjoy living in a close-minded world where everything outside of your personal realm is incomprehensible.

                                    • @magic8ballgag: Intent to what? You're still failing to "guess" or put forward one possible reason they'd have to lie to a customer and miss out on a sale.

                                      Enjoy living in a close-minded world where everything outside of your personal realm is incomprehensible.

                                      "Closed-minded" is jumping to the assumption you've been wronged/lied to/discriminated against when the facts point to a much more reasonable explanation that doesn't necessitate jumping onto forums to slander a reputable business.

                                      What is it they say…"haters gonna hate"?

                                      • @dm01:

                                        What is it they say…"haters gonna hate"?

                                        I think this sentence sums up your IQ quite nicely, thanks for wrapping this up for both of us. :)

                                        • @magic8ballgag: Still waiting for an explanation to back up your claims. If the best you can do is hurl insults then it would seem your accusations are baseless.

                                          • @dm01: I don't have to justify myself to you or anybody in that case, I'm just supplying the information, any person that is capable of thinking for themselves (prerequisite) can come up with whatever conclusion they wish.

                                            • @magic8ballgag: You're conflating "information" and "speculation"; e.g. "Load of crap…" does not constitute information, nor do accusations of dishonesty.

                                              Thought on it's own is not enough - here you would be served by exercising some critical thought, but obtusely choose instead to ignore certain facts that point to a perfectly reasonable explanation and use insults to deflect attention away from your hollow claims.

                                              I'll repeat again; why would they set out to deceive you about their stock levels and miss out on a sale?

                                              • @dm01: You can deny the fact that the stock magically appeared at the right moment as much as you like, it doesn't make it any less true though.

                                                I'm not okay with accepting the easiest answer, which is what you've put forward, so please feel free to continue to coast through life with everything spelled out for you, but I'd rather challenge myself and the unknown.

                                                • @magic8ballgag:

                                                  …stock magically appeared at the right moment…

                                                  At the right moment for what, precisely? What did they gain by this "magical reappearance" of stock?

                                                  You do realise, don't you, that it's possible to view a revision history for the listing, showing each and every time they've updated the stock levels for that listing? And that yesterday they updated the stock levels for the 1TB drive three times prior to your supposed "magical appearance" of stock just after midday? I wonder why the revised the stocked quantity those other three times…further deception? More attempts to dissuade customers from sending them money?

                                                  Or look at today…this morning they've updated stock levels on three occasions as well! Further evidence for your conspiracy!

                                                  Gosh, if one takes the time to look, it seems barely a day goes by where the stock level for this drive isn't being adjusted on several occasions. Could it be that…well, surely not…but maybe this is…normal stock management at play? No, perish the thought…it can't be!

                                                  It's crazy, I know, this empirical data, and I am of course very curious to hear from you on what deceptions are being employed in all these instances…and please, no need for easy answers - I want The Truth, and you are The One to tell it!

                                                    And yet, even after your very well thought-out wall of text, none of the data you've presented coincides with my experience yesterday, which I refuse to explain again.

                                                    Fact of the matter is, you don't agree with what I'm saying, which is fine because you're as entitled to an opinion as any person that sits on OzBargain all day..

                                                    …but that doesn't mean I'm wrong, and I know this is hard for you to accept and/or believe, but that's just life.

                                                      You've explained nothing - only accused without anything to back up your allegation.

                                                      It's not about being right or wrong, it's about an unreasonable assumption you were challenged on that you've stubbornly dug your heels in over. Your claim just doesn't make sense, CA's actions yesterday were perfectly in line and consistent with their stock updates across the history of that listing. The only difference yesterday is that eBay were running a promo, one that was independent of CA, just like it was to other sellers on there.

                                                      Draw whatever conclusion you want, hold whatever opinion you want, refuse to explain it all you want - I'm quite happy to accept all that, likewise though, be prepared for others to call BS when your rubbishing of a business online doesn't make any sense except within your own conspiracy-prone mind. 👍

                                                            Once again, you've presented nothing other than baseless accusations of dishonestly

                                                            I don't expect someone as narrow-minded as you to understand it.

                                                            I'm not the slandering a business

                                                            Exaggerating just a tad? What I reported was no different to a customer submitting an online review of their experiences with a retailer, what anyone wishes to do with that information is their prerogative.

                                                            I'll repeat the challenge once more

                                                            I politfully decline your challenge, the people will do what they need to with the information I provided.

                                                            Have a lovely weekend. 😊

Their listing history shows it's perfectly normal to update their stock levels multiple times per day, too.

                                                                                              Here's what eBay has recorded about the update to the 1TB listing:

                                                                                              26-Sep-18 12:22:10 AEST

                                                                                              Postage Terms
                                                                                              PictureURL: Pictures Added/Deleted

                                                                                              So the code expired around mid-day, and CA updated the listing about 22 minutes later - hardly the same moment as you allege. If they knew when the code was ending, they'd could just have everything ready to update as soon as it ticked over.

        I disagree, it's obvious it was deliberate.

        Further insults, but to be expected as name-calling is the refuge of the weak

        I'd hate to see what diagnosis you have for a person as special as yourself.

        The Perpetual Challenge that isn't adequately answered by insults or invented information:

        The information is not fabricated, nor invented, you actually proved what I initially wrote by providing the following:

        26-Sep-18 12:22:10 AEST
        Quantity
        Postage Terms
        PictureURL: Pictures Added/Deleted

        This states that the stock was replenished after the sale had ended, even after telling me they don't have any stock left.

        Explain why Computer Alliance would set out to deceive you about their stock levels and miss out on a sale?

        It's a mystery! We may never truly know why they did it, but one thing is for sure - it happened and it's not cool.

        • I disagree, it's obvious it was deliberate.

          What's obvious is your decision to ignore facts.

          I'd hate to see what diagnosis you have for a person as special as yourself.

          Further put-downs do nothing to further your argument - quite the opposite.

          The information is not fabricated, nor invented, you actually proved what I initially wrote by providing the following…
          …This states that the stock was replenished after the sale had ended, even after telling me they don't have any stock left.

          Your claims:

          then boom, eBay sale ends and suddenly there's more stock

          …doesn't explain why stock suddenly appeared after the sale ended.

          …if you think that it was just a coincidence that the stock replenished itself automatically as soon as the sale ended.

          My best guest is they knew the end time of the sale, and set a schedule to replenish stock at that time…

          ..right at 12:00pm on the dot, at the same time the eBay sale ended - nothing suspicious I guess. rolls eyes

          Stock replenished right at 12pm on the dot, did it? At the same time the eBay sale ended, did it? 😂

          Of course, you're ignoring that it makes perfect sense for the stock to have been updated when it did…not as a response to the sale ending, but to a customer enquiry asking when more would be available. You messaged at 11:50am, did you? Staff member replies to you, then sends a message to supplier or courier to confirm if a shipment definitely is arriving, waits for reply…ahh yes, will have X more units in the morning, so can add stock to sell in the afternoon. Perfectly normal - there's no conspiracy there.

          It's a mystery! We may never truly know why they did it, but one thing is for sure - it happened and it's not cool.

          No mystery, no deception, just normal stock management. You can take off the tinfoil now.
