Price drop on the portable SSD. Available in Red, Gray and Blue. I believe it's an all time low price.
Second post, let me know if I've left anything out.
Edit 23/07 Price drop from $254.98
CamelCamelCamel.
Was that for T7??
T5 from Bing Lee eBay.
Ah just t5. Sorry :p
I also regret not buying one. : (
thanks op ordered one
Bought a T3 250G for $170. I feel so bad when seeing any T5 and T7 deals.
darn thought also include the touch…good deal nonetheless.
@Spook512
… you got me all excited… I have been hanging out for the T7 Touch model :(
These are great storage devices by the way. I have both the Sammy T5's and the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD and much prefer the Samsung devices.
I currently have the T5 1TB and find it's a great device. But I ordered one of these anyway, faster speeds might come in handy.
Whats about the "touch"
I read the reviews on the touch version and some units seem to suffer from an intermittent disconnection/stalling issue probably due to the additional security feature of the fingerprint scanner.
The fingerprint scanner is a nice feature to have, but it is also one more thing to break when something goes haywire.
Bing Lee has it for $269, https://www.binglee.com.au/samsung-mu-pc1t0t-1tb-t7-touch-po…
officeworks price beat brings it down to $255.55, if you have access to discount gift cards would be even better. Local warranty is worth a couple bucks
Just to add to that Bing Lee only has the Titan Gray colour. Red is more expensive ($289) and blue doesn't seem to be stocked.
Blue is at EB Games atm
Blue: exactly the reason why I bought from Amazon just now.
Thanks OP!
Hopefully the purchase qualifies for ShopBack's 7%
Blue is my favourite too but I am not sure if they would honour their warranty given it is an US import?
Officework doesnt price match. I went to their Auburn Store. The model number of the SSD they have and the one in this post differ by 2 characters. The store manager indicated that US stock- even though on Amazon AU doesnt qualify for a price match. Bummer!. I came back and checked the amazon US and applicability of warranty etc in Australia- but not too clear.
thanks mate
what do people think of the Crucial X8 compared to the T7 or Sandisk Extreme Pro Portable ??

Just bought the T7 500GB from Officeworks for $188, works really well for running Parallels virtual machines off of. Internal SSD is always filling up thanks to virtual machines and Docker. Benchmarks at ~800MB/s write and ~900MB/s read over USB 3.2 gen 2 on a Macbook Pro 2017.
Was going to ask if anyone had tried these out with a similar use case. Thanks!
whats the difference between T5 & T7
2
Considering the T7 is supposed to be nearly twice the speed, that "2" is actually quite relevant!
You need USB 3.2 Gen 2 to take advantage of the increase performance. Otherwise no difference.
Bing Lee ebay selling for 299 touch version
Good find
Are these shuckable?
With a chainsaw anything's shuckable.
Just a heads up, delivery price differ depending on the colour you pick, for some odd reason.
Does anyone know if OfficeWorks will price match / beat against this?
I purchased the red from OW today, they price beat the amazon deal (incl. shipping cost). Bought it for $250.
which store? The aburn store didnt price match
Blacktown
OW wouldn't price match the Amazon offer. I tried to get them to price match the Bing Lee price but they wouldn't because they only had the red. I left the store. Went back the next day to match the Harvey Norman $278 price, but the worker mistook the price and price matched it at $178, so got it for $169. I got a bit lucky. Wishing I had of got 2.
You should have! After you paid, did you run out the door? ;-)
I definitely had tunnel vision for the door and was just waiting for a hand on the shoulder the entire journey. I was sweating bullets as the guy said he had to get the manager over to approve the "massive discount".
I would be sweating and heart pounding like mad every second before the transaction is done. Would only let out a big grin followed by laughing after walking out the door.
Well done :)
Regret for not buying the 2tb one when it was $320 :((
