    Are these SSDs shuckable?

      I was just thinking the first comment I see when I scroll down would be this, I am not disappointed.

      I wouldn't be able to say for certain having not seen a teardown review. The manufacturer says they are Portable M.2 SSDs so they could be potentially?

        They probably are but if you get a sata m2 ssd then its not quite that useful in this day and age…

  • ruprectaus on 08/06/2020 - 21:22

    Any of these with a USB C connector ?

    Some reviews I found of the 128gb version ( I think)

    Not looking great :(

      With the speeds Riley are getting you'd think he'd be using a USB 2.0 port. The good reviews do outweigh the bad though ;)

      It's always worth checking elsewhere. This review has good results for the 360GB version.

        That review does look better, and as much as its a great price, I'll wait for a teardown or possibly a better brand, thanks Clear :)

        Hey since you're associated with Geekbuying would you be able to help me claim warranty for Tronsmart Spunky pro they worked wonderfully though recently the right earbud disconnects randomly touch controls don't work as well the earphone grill have fallen off. It has been less than a year since I purchased and I have the receipt would you be able to help me?

          Have you contacted them FIRST? If its a simple warranty issue they should be able to resolve.

    • fluffycat on 08/06/2020 - 21:50

      sort on most recent reviews and they give a quite dire picture of this product … looks likely to be a major disappointment for the cost

        Agreed, I see a deal like SSD/HDD then see its from an asian import site and immediately imagine those fake HDD's you see on Wish.
        Reviews of this product online are not much better, most people averaging USB2 speeds.

          As with any cheaper product - there's a reason why it's cheaper. And it's not usually because the manufacturer/distributor/seller is trying to be nice to it's customers.

    Is this a Tassie local deal?

      I am known to provide to some good local deals at the OzBargain meetups. I've got an excellent photo with scotty and the Tronsmart earphones he won last year!

      • ISO9002 on 08/06/2020 - 21:32

        Where and when are these OzBargain meetups?

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 08/06/2020 - 21:36

          The official meetups happen around November in Site Discussions for OzBargain's Birthdays. The Tassie ones never gain any interest.

              @ISO9002: I could name 20. They just don't go to the forums.

              @ISO9002: Hobart? Pfft, need to do Launceston meetups haha.

              It's hard enough organizing a VW/Audi Meetup, yet alone a Ozbargain one haha.

                  @ISO9002: If you've got one, I'll PM you. I'm looking after the current circumstances I think, my social life has been the highest since high school lately too haha.

  • Kibbelhs on 09/06/2020 - 00:33

    An idea if the USB cable is 5A?

    • Austaurean on 09/06/2020 - 08:08

      2A from the website.
      wonder how long it took them to get the cable prefect with the different shapes they made..

      • Kibbelhs on 09/06/2020 - 13:50

        Thank you! I must be blind, couldn't find it on the mobile webpage.

        • Austaurean on 09/06/2020 - 18:09

          I was on a pc..
          Kmart has a usb c to c 5A 3.1, 1m, didn't check the price

    Have tried one of these USB drives before, exactly the same looking exclosure but a brand called Qumox. Was advertised at USB 3.1 but could not sustain faster than 100MB/s write speeds. That was with a 2TB drive, 1TB would be even slower. Do not recommend

    In early 1980's I had a 3.5inch HDD with 20MB (not 20GB) capacity and was proud of having it in my computer as most computers had 1.44MB floppy disk for booting. It cost 3000 dollars with a mouse(cost 200 dollars itself) and 14inch amber monitor. Now I see a small device with 1TB capacity and cost only 130 dollars!!!

    • strangeloops66 on 09/06/2020 - 09:59

      That's pre-Windows. What OS did you use? And ouch, at that price!

      Must have been MS-DOS 2.0? Supported hard drives.

    • ssquid on 09/06/2020 - 10:48

      Well look at mr fancy 3.5 inch HDD. We had a 5.25 inch seagate (I think it was only 10MB), with a big black attached faceplate and an activity LED that would blind you if you looked directly at it.

    • shabaka on 09/06/2020 - 11:26

      mine had a TURBO button that would make CPU drop from 20 to 10 MHz. I still don't understand what was TURBO about it.

    • Italkdigital on 18/06/2020 - 02:17

      So remember,.. It was actually good days to be a tech around those days,.. well there were big profits building and selling computers, just sales were slow at the beginning as expensive computers wasn't affordable for general home use

    Unable to figure out how to add a coupon and still use the checkout via Paypal option…

      Use the normal checkout option as it'll still let you use PayPal.

  • Italkdigital on 18/06/2020 - 02:14

    Doesn't seem like a bargain if there are issues with it or risks, I guess a good review will help decide buying one, mind you Samsung SSDs are selling close to this amount at the moment
