      $68 + $9.95 for postage to Sydney = $77.95
      Amazon is $75.99 shipped, hence deal.

      Also the OP posted a deal for the BX500 series HDD, hence all Dram less

    $40.84 extra for the MX500 2TB. You've made a good point about the speed. I think the little extra for the premium drive is worth it

  oops, DRAMless design, be ware of it if you are frequent R/W data, the life span will be much shorter than SSD with cache RAM one.

  General example of BX vs MX for speed, if anyone is internet. Better spending a few extra on MX for regular use,

  I have a dramless one (BX), just to store crap on for irregular use and BX is fine for that.

  Pity the $295 + shipping (circa $10) for the MX500 2TB is out of stock now otherwise I would've recommended that for the $30 more.

    Worth mentioning the MX500 2TB is back in stock for $295 + delivery at Shopping Express: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/557734

    I'd pay the little bit extra to get the DRAM performance improvement.
