is that in USD?
No, AUD. Pay with 28 degrees or similar to avoid international transaction surcharges from your bank.
Dont got a 28 degree's, you think paypal will charge with credit card?
Experience seems to vary, looking at the comments here: https://www.choice.com.au/shopping/online-shopping/buying-on…
Worst case for most (major bank, non-AMEX) cards seems to be 3%, so depends if you're willing to risk potentially paying an extra $2.10.
Yeah $68.50 AUD delivered
This must be the best black friday SSD offer! Cheers OP
Website doesn’t let me pay in USD.
How do you change the currency to USD ?
I didnt change it, $68.60 on my visa
Paid ~$160 for this exact same SSD four or five months ago on an eBay sitewide deal. Feelsbad.
Right there with you man. Thought I got a great deal, ha!
damn $68.50 for 500gb steal! purchased even though i don't need.
Website doesn’t let me pay in USD.
How do you change the currency to USD?
i just paid paypal and it was aud..
GB/$ wise this is even a better deal than the Samsung Evo 1TB deal, and you don't have to deal with claiming cash back
Thanks OP, bought another SSD that I don't need.
I was looking at this same SSD yesterday. Most places have it for $125 so I thought i'd wait until Monday for a deal. Thanks!!
Got one. Thanks!
How are newegg to deal with and are these as good as Samsung drives.
Same performance as an 850 EVO
Anyone know if this can be put in an enclosure and used as an external SSD drive? If so, any recommendations of enclosures?
Thanks
Pretty sure you can. The PC can read external drives but youll need to set up the drive before you can use it as an external.
That's good if you don't bring your SSD with you to work but if you do, better to get a full enclosure for your SSD for protection.
i have used this on building sites, in my car and on a boat in PNG. dropped many times with no ill effects. an ssd is already in an enclosure it aint a spinner.
code 1 use per customer, easily create 4 accounts?
no problems here. two emails. same name and shipping info. ordered 2x for raid0
Sad that there's a $12 premium for the m.2 format, still an amazing deal at ~$83 though.
Nice. Got the 500GB m.2 for about $13 more. Going to put it in an Intel NUC
Know of any good NUC deals (< $500)? Don't seem to have found any this Black Friday :(
Not seen any deals.
Looking to get the newly released 8th gen i3 though, so probably won’t be any deals around.
Amazing deal, I hope soon it will be 130$ for 1TB.
Weird won't let me sign up for an account.

Paulaus is a robot though…
Has anyone purchased from Newegg before? How long is the postage?
2-3 weeks, on the longer side due to Xmas rush.
almost one month, still haven't received yet…
check your tracking number. mine has been delivered to Australia post and I had to collect it from there.
@msmhw: Thanks for your reply. no tracking update since 10 Dec. last activity: ARRIVAL AT DESTINATION COUNTRY
buy 2 of these for 136 or 1 samsung 1tb for 155 arghhhhhhhh
if desktop no problem if laptop only one santa connector.
Santa is magical, he can deliver all those bytes by himself using only one carrier 😆
Just buy SS as they are running cashback of $45 for 1TB
And buy 1 here for $70.10. You can never have enough of SSD.
this for $70.10, or Samsung 860 500gb for $80?
depends where the Samsung is …if local stock means you can get it quicker.
it's from Shopping Express, but I guess will go with Newegg's deal. at least I am saving $10 and there is no big difference between both of the SSDs.
may i have the link for samsung 860 500gb for $80 please. Thanks for sharing.
its this deal
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/417471
and you will get $15 back from Samsung
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/418696
Also, make sure you buy it using eBay gift card + cashrewards so end up paying $80 for it.
Thanks perfect for PS4 hard drive upgrade
Thanks OP, I grabbed one.
Got the Samsung 1TB from Newegg a few days ago for $193, thought that would do me for the rest of the year, then this one popped up.
Couldn’t resist.
Cheers :-)
thks, grabbed another 500GB ssd I didn't need, will us for music backup drive or downloads …better than pounding heads on a platter drive.
Such a great deal :D. But I have decided not to buy any SSD less than 1TB from now on. My house is becoming a SSD warehouse lol XD
The website is still letting you place orders, but I received this half an hour ago:
Thank you for choosing Newegg International Inc.
We regret to inform you that your order has been voided due to insufficient stock. While our website may have indicated an in-stock status, one or more items in your order were not in stock at the time your order was to be fulfilled.
Item List:
1 x (AUD$91.00) : Crucial MX500 2.5" 500GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT500MX500SSD1
Looks like being ozbargained.
In a fit of optimism I ordered one about an hour after your warning post, and the order was apparently accepted at the $68.60 price. I've been expecting a "We regret to inform you" message, however no such message has so far arrived, and this morning I received this:
Subject: Newegg - Invoice
Thank you for shopping at Newegg International Inc.
This is the invoice and receipt for your recent order. Please keep a copy for your records.
So I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.
If you look around the NewEgg site you can also use this promo code to get a 480Gb ADATA SSD for AUD$58 delivered.
got one
website shows stock, should I place an order?
Hmmm price has jumped somewhat Best I can get is $118 AFTER the promo code is supplied.
$98.14 now. Guess they realised it was a good deal, declined orders due to "no stock" and then somehow managed to locate some and bumped the price. Ah well.
I can see the newegg one is out of stock. You might see the "in stock" from other sellers (which has higher price)
Upon reflection this wasn't even that good of a deal compared to the other ridiculous specials with the newegg coupon. I found 8GB 1600mhz ripjaw ddr3 ram for $63. Not for everyone but if you are in the market for DDR3 this is unbelievable.
yikes was about to post this, it actually came down to $68.50 delivered for me.
