    any benefit in PS4?

    • CyberMurning on 12/10/2022 - 20:05
      +3

      For sure, your wallet get a benefit.

    • FireRunner on 12/10/2022 - 20:09

      Yep, even the base/slim models get a speed up in loading

    • Axelstrife on 12/10/2022 - 20:11
      +1

      Yes but not for everything and not a massive improvement, the console wasn't designed for SSD's and doesn't utilize them fully like a PC for example would for the same HDD to SSD upgrade.

      • FireRunner on 12/10/2022 - 20:14

        Most improvement is from reduced booting and loading times
        Though I found that Spiderman no longer gets pauses as the world loads in after swinging around into a new area since getting an SSD.
        This is on a PS4 Pro with a 1TB Samsung 870 QVO

        • Axelstrife on 12/10/2022 - 20:24
          +3

          I personally mainly used it playing black ops 3 I had a ps4 pro and the same ssd as you I always loaded into a match first and could be in the enemies spawn before they loaded in.

      • maddoglee on 13/10/2022 - 07:44

        I found it made a massive difference

    • Zenskas on 12/10/2022 - 20:27
      +4

      Yep, big benefit IMO. I put a 500GB 850 EVO in my PS4 Pro (similar speed drive to the MX500).

      Noticeably faster boot times and made a big difference loading up games and restarting from checkpoints.

      Navigating the home menu and switching between apps, store, games etc all really smooth now where before it would be a bit laggy and take much longer. Really wouldn't be hard to beat a 5400RPM HDD even in a console based on older hardware.

      As a small additional benefit, the SSD is completely silent so doesn't add vibrations additional to the cooling fan. I have the latest revision of the Pro and it's really quiet even when gaming, surprised me to compare well to the Xbox Series X which is known to be quiet.

  • Bang1 on 12/10/2022 - 20:06

    Got one. I bought it for $98 not long ago and thought it was a bargain. Even better @this price.

    • wogan on 14/10/2022 - 18:08

      Could I trouble you for a screenshot of the invoice for the payment amount of $85? You personal details can be anonymised

  • cchhiillyy on 12/10/2022 - 20:10

    Good thing its limited quantity, gives everyone a shot!

  • AlienC on 12/10/2022 - 20:11

    Best bang for buck ssd hands down. Unless you have a real need for nvme gen 3 or gen 4 stuff like editing or recording or animation or even game dev.

    The difference in game load times can be over ten seconds in some use cases.

    But the price difference can be an extra 40% minimum.

  • Losome on 12/10/2022 - 20:11

    Thanks heaps my sir. This price is crazy. I have to check twice that it’s not some sort of fake deal.

      And get some time to cancel with Amazon too if you change your mind haha.

      • BarneyKB on 12/10/2022 - 20:26

        yeah that's the idea lol

  • windycornertv on 12/10/2022 - 20:18
    +2

    I actually used one of these SSDs in my PS3. Haha.

    It's overkill, but it makes a huge difference in a game like Gran Turismo with poor data packaging.

      'Rage' also saw improvements with an SSD. As does Skyrim

    • wogan on 14/10/2022 - 18:09

      Do you have a screenshot or receipt for the payment of $85? I need it for a claim

  • juns on 12/10/2022 - 20:19

    Hey guys, this may be out of topic, but can anyone recommend any good tool to migrate windows installation to this SSD?

    I've been using samsung migration tool for samsung SSD. Not sure what people use with this disk.

    • ATangk on 12/10/2022 - 20:21
      +3

      This comes with acronis true image for crucial. If by migrate you mean clone, thatll work.

    • cheesehamegg on 12/10/2022 - 20:24

      Macrium Reflect

      • BarneyKB on 12/10/2022 - 20:26
        +2

        +1 for macrium, great tool, and the free version will do all you need for this.

        • vicerum on 12/10/2022 - 20:32

          +1 again, Macrium Reflect free edition is basically all you need. Excellent bit of software. Been cloning SSD's and NVME's with it for years.

    • Bangerbargain on 12/10/2022 - 20:24

      Acronis true image for crucial ssds.

    • CachePC on 12/10/2022 - 20:28
      +1

      Macrium Reflect - awesome piece of kit. It's free and allows for repartitioning to increase sizes. Look at a couple of YouTube vids and you'll have no issue as long as you have a spare sata and power or my preferred way, a usb enclosure

    • mantichoral on 12/10/2022 - 23:37
      +1

      you need Macrium Reflect HOME, 30 day free trial. Free no longer does what you need, and other posters haven't tried installing it lately.

  • photonbuddy on 12/10/2022 - 20:28

    What a great find!

    Was tempted at $95 a short while ago, but that was supplied and delivered from not Amazon. Glad I passed.

  • U30004 on 12/10/2022 - 20:29

    How quick?

    • GandalfTheCheap on 12/10/2022 - 22:33

      Medium speed.

      (Not fastest not slowest SSD)

  • paulaus on 12/10/2022 - 20:30

    Is mx better than bx

    • Grey 13 on 12/10/2022 - 20:30
      +9

      MX is way better than BX.

    • CyberMurning on 12/10/2022 - 20:31
      +5

      The BX is a stripped-down version of the MX - it's got a different (slower) controller chip, is lacking MX's data encruption feature, and doesn't have the MX's SLC (single level cell) caching, so it's not as quick or durable as the MX. SSD NAND Flash bit cells have a wite/erase cycle lifespan, usually rated in "TB" (trillions of cycles). SLC caching allows bits to be written one at a time into cahce before the entire block is updated, vs. the BX's MLC only, where the entire block (of typically 4k) is re-written every time any data in the block changes. The BX series also does not come with the drive-cloning/backup software. However, there are some good free cloning/backup apps out there so it's not a deal killer. I have the BX 500GB SSD and I'm very happy with it. I cloned my 500GB HDD with a freebie app… Boot-up, shut down, and app loads are MUCH faster (in Windows 7) than with the mechanical HDD. =)

    • netsurfer on 12/10/2022 - 20:31

      Yes for MX500 vs BX500.

  • Datatemp on 12/10/2022 - 20:31

        I mean I guess all data storage mediums are temporary in the grand scheme of things

      • MiscOzB on 12/10/2022 - 21:00

    Luckily I added it to my cart first, the price didn't get pumped up while checking out although the listing price was already updated to $114.

    • Grey 13 on 12/10/2022 - 20:41

      Buy now think later. I'm sure we can all fill 1TB easy.

  • stevelo on 12/10/2022 - 20:41

    This or cheap M2 gen3 ssd (Silicon Power A60 or TEAMGROUP MP33) for budget gaming pc?

    • Losome on 12/10/2022 - 21:15

      Whichever is cheaper. SSD won't make any noticeable difference in gaming.
