    WOW this price is a war….

  • Great prices. Strange no nvme which is simply a different controller to unlock the performance of these beasts. I'm looking forward to SATA disappearing. Brilliant none the less

    Which brand ssd is inside I wonder?

    Even the official description says it's a bargain

    the absolute bargain in the field

  • Is it comparable to Samsung t5?

    • These are internal

      • Oh ic, thanks for clarifying.

    • +1

      This is an internal SSD and the Samsung T5 is external?

      Edit: Ninja'd by less than 1 second

        Can mods confirm it was less than one second please

        • It was 4 seconds, i was constantly refreshing and checking.

        • When I submitted my comment, both had the '2 sec ago' above it. I refreshed the page and they were still in sync.
          Too bad the seconds aren't shown after the comment is more than a minute old.

    better off with the 512GB for $75 then the 480GB for $68

    480GB - Read Speed (MAX): 520 MB/s; Write Speed (MAX): 450 MB/s

    512gb - Read Speed (MAX): 550 MB/s; Write Speed (MAX): 490 MB/s

    These cheap SSD have no DRAM so while fast for bursts, are actually slower than many HDD for large file activities.

    Consider this for your use case.

    • Perfectly fine to host windows 10 and everyday tasks though

      • +5

        For Windows 10, you might live with 256 or 480 GB SSD. If someone is getting 1 TB, their objective is also to store or move big files.

        • Fair call. I have a 120gb ($27) ssd for W10 and old HDD in cage where optical drive once sat for storage. Works a treat.

        • +3

          1TB is not enough for moving or storing big files.

          I'd say it's a "might as well get 1tb since it's cheap" purchase.

          • @justtoreply: Even copying a 5GB is more than enough for the transfer rate to drop to 100MBps.

      • +1

        Until it fails prematurely and unexpected. People who cheap out on hardware are usually the same people who neglect to backup their important data. Cheap SSDs are never a good idea.

        • cheap doesn't always mean bad. However, it's always good to keep a back up for sure.

        • +1

          Amazon showed the way - always buy cheap with cheaper backup

    • What's the best option then for a ~ 500GB Portable Backup drive under $80? Was thinking of getting an internal SSD with enclosure adapter?

      • I would say that's a safe bet. The crucial drive goes cheap and a USB external case can be had for 5 bucks, probably get out for under 60

  • So at the start of the year a bargain price for a 1TB SSD such as this was just around $200 a TB.
    Now I'm regularly seeing your average, adequate, middle of the road, "this'll do" SSD for under $130.
    I finally bought a 1TB (960GB) BX500 2.5" Crucial SSD yesterday for $127 thinking this will be a never again price.
    Now one day later there's one selling for $125.79, who would've thought!!
    This reminds me of the solar panel pricing, In the 90's solar panels sold for around $10 a watt,
    but we were told for years that in 5 years time it will drop to $1 a watt, WOW, can't wait!!
    Then about 20 years later it did drop to $1 a watt.
    SSD's seem to be going through this process right now.
    I hope they drop in price 10 fold over the next couple of years!!

    • Where'd you find the BX500 for ~$125?

    • I think the BX500 is a much better deal at that price than this one.

      • actually, if u use cashback from Shopback, you'll get another $15 off for this deal. You end up paying $111 altogether compare to BX500 ($127+$15 postage=$142).

      The theory is "Buy when you NEED IT" but the OZB spirit is "Buy when you SEE IT"..

      so who care after X years of … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    • I did the same but I’d trust crucial a little more even though it’s their dram less ssd over pioneers offering.

      My worry was more between Samsung qvo QLC vs crucial bx500 tlc ssd .
      Then found both were similar.
      So I went off the theory that TLC has better longevity than QLC

  • Thanks OP got a 1tb though dont really need it :-)

  • +2

    "industry-leading Phison S11 controller"
    Probably not.

  • whats wrong with the 512GB one?https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07P1X8R9Q?th=1

    Thats still in stock and now cheaper than 480GB. Seems equivalent if not better spec wise!?

    • 480GB was cheaper… looks like stock sold out. Most people were probably after the 1TB one.

      • it was cheaper but not by much and the 512GB does have 32GB more plus seems to have a slightly better maximum write rate. So if anyone was after the 480 they could still get the 512GB.

  • Can anyone confirm if I can put this onto my Alienware 17 2014 version? Thanks
