Worthy to use as an upgrade in my XPS?
There is also the Crucial P1 1TB $129?
https://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/crucial-p1-1tb-2000mb…
Used this drive for a bit (500gb version not 1tb so may be different) and now replacing it. It has QLC NAND whereas the A2000 has TLC I believe. Basically when you use over 100gb it slows down massively.
I didn't know that, thanks for the info.
There's a high speed ram buffer about 100gb from memory so beyond that you may get slower transfer speeds in benchmarks, wouldn't be too often in real world you'd be transferring more than that in one shot. The drive itself doesn't get slower if you store more than that. This coming from someone who has the Crucial 1TB M.2…. does get hot though so recommend a heatsink
@4foxache: Thanks for clarification. Maybe it's just mine that's a bit buggered, or could also be that the 512gb doesn't use the same chips?
@reloxation: The reviews I read did show the 512gb was quite a bit slower not sure exactly why though
Shipping cost another $12.95…Total to $147.95 delivered for me..I'll wait for it to become cheaper.
Is it the cheapest it has been?
I think it is, and it'll slowly get cheaper over next few years.
So the real question is;
- do you get a 2TB of this and a Big Mac?
- or do you get a 1TB Xbox SSD?Ordered.
Their reg price is $147.00 … I will wait
No stock.
It's $145 with free delivery at Amazon, may work out cheaper.
its 159 at mwave ? I find their rrp misleading, and it puts me off using them.
I agree. I have one of these and it works better than expected for me. Over 2100 MB/s sequential read and over 2100 MB/s sequential write in CrystalDiskMark 6.0.2 That's in a Lenovo Thinkpad E595 with AMD 3500u and 16GB RAM. For the price it's darn difficult to beat.
unless a factory blows up, these nvmes just keep falling
Kingston A2000 or Samsung 970 Evo $169?
Where is the evo at $169?
Does it include AC game?
I think the game is only for Pro & Plus?
Both great products at great prices. I'd have to give the edge to the A2000 because I'm a sucker for unit pricing. You are getting more per dollar spent.
Difference is speed Kingston 2200MB/s or Samsung 3400MB/s
Probably wont notice the difference that much in reality especially for gaming, you'll get a slight boost in Windows boot time, Game load time and Video rendering tasks but not really in live game performance.
If you are thinking Kingston then also look at Crucial P1 1TB for $129 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/579982 - 2000MB/s but saving $6 (a true ozbargainer test)
Gaming would actually be one of the areas where you'll start to see improvements over the next 2 years.
Read up on DirectStorage and Sampler Feedback Streaming.
Kingston A2000 is better. Definitely worth the extra $6 IMO. See this thread: https://amp.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/dfqq8e/kingston_a…
Edit: specifically the top comment regarding QLC vs TLC. I'm returning my 500gb P1 as it's so slow past 100gb of storage.
Good info, ill stop recommending the P1.
In terms of raw specs they're both excellent performers. The Samsung is faster (3,500/2,500 MB/s compared to Kingston's 2,200/2,000MB/s) but at such high speeds you're unlikely to notice a difference in average tasks such as booting up games or other media.
The Samsung does appear to be more reliable as there were reports of bluescreens occuring with the A2k but those seem to be fixed now with the new driver updates.
Samsung SSDs also get to use Samsung Magician, which is a pretty good software for data migration if that's something you can see yourself using.
perfect SSD. I've had a 1tb for around 6 months now, never skipped a beat
a steal at this price
Am I missing something? It’s only a $12 discount, seems like a pretty underwhelming sale to me.
I bought mine for $200 in March
maybe you know another great performing NVMe TLC drive with DRAM in this price range? if so, up to you to decide whether this is a good deal or not :)
I'm not comparing it to other drives, I'm questioning why it's a steal at this price when it's only discounted by $12. It seems what you're implying is, though, that it was already a steal at full price.
Its the same for all these shopping express deals. They are not bad prices, just not massive bargains either - pretty much on par with mwave/umart etc.
Go Samsung 970 Evo $169 for reliability, theoretical write/read speeds 2-3x also.

Your link is an A1000..
yikes my bad
$10.20 shipping to me (Vic eastern suburbs), for the Kingston A2000… Hmmmm.
Yeah that's the thing that kills with Shopping Express and MWave deals being in VIC.
combine shipping ftw.. Vic Easterners lol
Can somebody please help. Is Kingston A2000 compatible with macbook pro late 2013 retina ?
yes according to https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/upgrading-2013-2014-mac…
I am going to do the same thing.
You going to replace yourself in same macbook?
2014 mid
I am going to replace with A2000 or 970 Evo. It depends on centrecom i am going to ask if i can got any discount@Modesty: I got 2 screwdriver before when i bought a cheap battery from China.
You need a trans socket to trans your nvme to Apple socket. I guess some shop may give you as a gift.@LittleSaint: http://eshop.sintech.cn/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPa… I think this will work?
Need to buy screwdriver now, can you sharewhich one you bought for macbook?
How easy is it to move windows from my old SSD to this one? A step by step guide will help.
Do I need to play around with bios all that jazz
no. Just look up a tutorial on google. Takes around 30 mins max.
Exactly - my IT career from about 2005 onwards.
Can you move / clone windows from a 1TB SSD -> 256GB SSD (assuming you have only used 100GB of space). Looking to free up an 1TB SSD from my laptop so it can be used elsewhere.
Yes, you can.
This kingston vs WD Blue? Which is better?
I'll start off by saying I am boycotting WD because of their SMR vs CMR branding on NAS HDD range. Shows what type of company they are….having said that…
If you are talking this one https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/580213 the 2TB WD Blue.
That is 2TB which is I think overkill, in my opinion (take it with grain of salt) you should look at a system drive on your m.2 and really only need from 500GB to 1TB. Enough for the system and anything you are working on plus a game or two that you are playing now.
Then have cheaper SSDs or HDDs as storage. But it all depends what you are doing and what you need/use your computer for.
Then you look at performance….
Kingston A2000 1TB Read 2200MB/s Write 2000MB/s
WD Blue 2TB Read 560MB/s Write 530MB/s (I had to check to make sure this was right, awfully slow and same speed at 1TB)
Crucial P1 Read 2000MB/s Write 2000MB/s. - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/579982
So on those numbers between WD Blue and Kingston I would go Kingston for sure, there is also the Crucial P1 1TB on sale at Shopping Express too for $129 another one to look at, if $6 matters to you then 2200 to 2000 will be hard to spot.
My Razer Blade Advanced only has a single M.2 slot, so the 2TB is very attractive, but being a SATA based M.2 makes it not.
M.2 is great interface, but people need to be aware of the many different technologies that attach to it.
Always look for NVME M.2 not SATA M.2 (NVME gives the 2000+ read and write speeds, SATA is limited to 500ish).
If I can find a decent deal on a 2TB NVME I'd be happy, otherwise the 1TB Kingston will be a much needed breathing room over the 512GB currently in place!
Ahhhhh NVME vs SATA is the difference, thanks for that. Makes sense.
I didn't think of laptops, if you are looking to put it in a laptop with one m.2 which also might be without space for an SSD then the decision changes.
Gigabyte 1650 Super 4Gb - $189 delivered OzBargain
[later today] Rog Strix 570 8Gb $169 + delivery
Please help me choose!https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1650S-Super…
1650 Super is reporting as 27% better for about 10% more in price (closer to RX 580 I think), it has lower power consumption (100W vs 150W) and I feel better driver upgrade path and potential resale price. Also a better streaming card with Turing Encoder.
But also check what your monitor supports AMD Freesync or Nvidia G-Sync if any?
I have a system with asrock z390, intel i7 8700, 32G RAM , 500G SSD, currently using built in graphic; Monitor LG 4k.27u-L600
I never play games, but use monitor for 4k video.
I have an old GTX 670 graphic card but not using it.Should I get 1650, 1660 or 570 or a 2070 graphic card?
I don't know what is G-sync or Freesync.
Many thanks.
Your monitor has FreeSync which is compatible with the AMD card.
@alz: Just adding
This technology, without getting into a lot of jargon, essentially makes gaming "smoother" in the monitor output, it does not improve performance of the card.
You still should decide on the raw power of the card as well but this factors into the choice.
Thanks for the help. I did some looking and the Rog Strix version is probably only 2-4% faster than a stock rx 570… and whilst the 8Gb of VRAM is the real tempting part; I think the positives of the 1650 super outweigh that single positive of extra VRAM on the RX570.
For 1080p just get the 1650 super imo
