Shipping for me is around $7usd.
3840GB useable capacity

If you spend 700+ the website doesn't charge GST(I don't know why and can't guarantee you wont be charged GST)
The final price with GST will be updated at the checkout

Up to 540MB/s Read, 520MB/s Write
Micron's 5100 solid state drive (SSD) uses a single-chip controller with a SATA interface on the system side and four channels of Micron NAND Flash internally.
The SSD is designed to use the SATA interface efficiently during both READs and WRITEs while delivering bandwidth-focused performance. SSD technology enables enhanced boot times, faster application load times, reduced power consumption and extended reliability.
The self-encrypting drive (SED) features a AES-256 encryption engine, providing hardware-based, secure data encryption, with no loss of SSD performance. This SED follows the TCG Enterprise specification for trusted peripherals. When TCG Enterprise features are not enabled, the device can perform alternate data encryption by invoking the ATA security command set encryption features, to provide full disk encryption (FDE) managed in the host system BIOS. TCG Enterprise and ATA security feature sets cannot be enabled simultaneously.
The data encryption is always running; however, encryption keys are not managed and the data is not secure until either TCG Enterprise or ATA security feature sets are enabled.

my total came to in USD
Sub-Total: $347.74
Shipping Insurance: $1.50
Cost of Delivery: $7.14
Australian GST: $35.64
Total: $392.02(USD)

    Nothing wrong with TLC, it's QLC you want to avoid, though even it is generally doing better in 2TB+ capacities but for longevity and peace of mind I'd still prefer TLC. MLC will be expensive and is beginning to disappear

      Pointless for all users (yes this isn't strictly true but if you're writing that much data then I figure you already know this).

      There's also nothing wrong with QLC, in the right circumstances. Pure storage drive that you want to access files from fast? QLC is fine. Or building a MITX system that won't support a 3.5" HDD? QLC is fine.

        That's true. The larger QLC are a lot better than the smaller 1TB drives too. I still rather TLC for OS but that's just me, whilst TLC is a viable option I'll still opt for it in my primary storage. I wouldn't hesitate to get QLC in secondary storage though. The example you gave is another good case for QLC.

    Don't think I can shell out 1,000+ per 4tb SSD atm :(

    I hope you're just getting confused, and are thinking of QLC. TLC is great! Unless you're an SLC purist and even a samsung 970 isn't good enough for you!

    QLC is also fine for a storage device. At 4tb, if this were qlc, I'd say it's MORE than plenty. Bring on the cheap 4tb drives!

    Far out that's nearly $100au/Tb! That's a crazy price for 4tb. I hope this means we're seeing the end of the "high capacity premium" reaching the 4tb size.

  Just on the GST thing - I'm 100% guessing here but if you mean US$700 and above, that would make it A$1,000 and I suspect they then get processed separately - as in when it hits Australia. I'd suggest over that threshold and they will just allow your parcel to be held here in Australia until you cough up the GST separately before it is released. This is an uncommon approach but sort of makes sense as many companies in-house software treatment of exports to Australia had to be upgraded/changed post intro of the GST on low value goods.
