    Any M.2 deals?

    dang that's a good deal, might have to snag a 960gb one
    Edit: ended up getting one, will probably sell my 2x 480gb versions I already had as I'm running out (actually I have already run out) of sata ports, so this will at least save me one :D

    • lzwdavid on 06/07/2019 - 10:23

      How much an used 480ssd can sell?

      Did the order confirmation say "thank you, come again"?

    • SirDale on 06/07/2019 - 13:54

      You can buy 4TB SSDs (3d nand) for $US367 too. (macsales.com).

      Over the 4th July holiday they dropped them down to $320ish.

      Would have bought two to put in a RAID 1 - if only I had money.

    wtf now ssd is dirt cheap…

    • theabyss on 06/07/2019 - 10:40

      They are very different even though they are all SSDs. Just like F1 racing cars and Yaris.

      • bestbarginever on 06/07/2019 - 11:02
        +6

        also depends on usage as well. Yaris probably good enough for grocery runs. F1 racing cars would be overkill

          Ok for backup drive?

        • Tyler Kwok on 06/07/2019 - 12:17

          also u can't actually do grocery shopping with f1 racing car lol

      Oh don't worry. The recent power outage at a Toshiba&WD NAND factory wiped out 6 exabytes from the market and Micron apparently decided to reduce volume production by 10%. On the top of that, the Japanese government restricted export of materials for semiconductor to Korea, which would further bring down the world's NAND supply.

      Enjoy while you can.

  • Garbotoxin on 06/07/2019 - 12:18

    How does the BX500 series fair in comparison (real life performance) against something like the 860 QVO?

    • RJK on 06/07/2019 - 14:20
      +4

      In my experience for a very noticeable difference between SSDs, I had to compare new drives to much older tech e.g. a Samsung PM800.

      Real life performance will be essentially the same, unless you're relying heavily on write/read speeds for tasks where performance matters.

    • selphie on 06/07/2019 - 14:29

      yeah, you're looking at less than 1 second difference for windows boot and launching apps.

  • eggboi on 06/07/2019 - 12:22

    How does the 960gb of this drive compare speed-wise to the samsung QVO and Evo 860?

    • h4lcyon on 06/07/2019 - 12:33

      Here

      • eggboi on 06/07/2019 - 13:00

        Cheers. Decent as a secondary drive but you’d probably want the 4k and random speed boosts from the EVO for a boot drive

  • datafellows on 06/07/2019 - 13:05

    Is there a way to use this as an external USB 3.0 drive?

    • thearbiter117 on 06/07/2019 - 13:11
      +4

      Yeah you should be able to just chuck it in any 2.5" hard drive 'enclosure', they can be had relatively cheap.

      • datafellows on 06/07/2019 - 14:10

        Thanks! I'll look into that. Would be nice to expand my Xbox storage :P

    Can get the much better MX500 1Tb for $143 from computer alliance ebay, using coupon PRETZEL, just use a new account for ebay plus trial for free shipping and bobs your uncle.

      Might want to check your facts mate.

    i saw samsung QVO 1tb $145 on shoppingexpress last ebay deal, if it available again maybe better value after samsung cashback

    BX500 is inferior to the MX500 range, in every way:
    https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Crucial-MX500-250GB-vs…
    (The biggest thing the BX500 does not have is "Power Loss Protection". Lose power often? Your SSD data could get corrupted…)
    That being said, $59 for a BX500 480GB SSD is still nothing to sneeze at.
    That being said, the same seller on ebay has the same 20% off coupon for the MX500 drives https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/232727507362 (Free shipping on the MX500s…)

    • slackme on 07/07/2019 - 11:57

      Does Samsung QVO have power loss protection? Sorry couldn’t get this info by searching.

      • DeepwaterNewt on 07/07/2019 - 13:00
        +2

        I can't find information about that actually… The specs pages for the QVOs don't say they have PLP, and I'd think having a feature like that is something worth listing…

  • Kevin Coleman on 07/07/2019 - 10:08

    20%off but then $15 postage!

    • Agret on 07/07/2019 - 10:10

      Delivery (Free with eBay Plus)

      If you don't have plus you can make a he eBay account and activate the plus trial on it to buy without postage fee

      MX500 has free shipping without Plus and it's a way better drive than the BX500 if you don't mind spending a tiny bit more
