Cheapest price in recent times I believe from a local e-store. I have checked again the 20% ebay discounts starting tomorrow, this price is still better so far especially with OW pricematching.
Update: The shipping fee seems to be standard at $14. That means $341.05 with OW price match.
it's larger for one and it's contained. I got a T3 very nice unit.
Agree. I got the T3 also, very sleek and small and easily kept in pocket.
No comparison, particularly if:
1. Looking for a smaller form factor. These units are physically tiny and are designed purposefully to be portable (and up for rugged treatment in the bottom of a go bag). The 860 EVO (or Pro) are meant to be physically installed into a pc, laptop etc. even though they can be portable using a separately purchased cable kit.
2. Looking for newer, faster V-nand technolgy.
3. Built in encyption. Personally, I keep mine off (unencrypted) as I use my T5 acoss a variety of devices and os's.
That's my two bob's worth.
It has larger volume than an M.2 SSD enclosure like this one:

Team that with a cheap 1TB M.2 SSD, like from this expired deal from yesterday:

And you'll have a smaller portable SSD than the one in this deal. Cheaper too.
Have T5 2TBs and they are excellent portable drives. Fast and semi rugged. They work well in Win 10 and 7 laptops plus Android phones and tablets straight ourmt of the box. The Samsung encryption app works well across all devices.
But officeworks they normally add the postage into price when price beating it. Right?
Yeap that's correct.
Depending on how vigilant they are. I had Officeworks price match Newegg on a 500gb T3 which didn't have GST included
Noooo..Just bought for $375.25@ OW yesterday!
How about buying a 1T 860 EVO for $220 and add another adaptor case for $20????
