I've yet to see a chatbot that prints text in computer readable variables, it's all 'mostly adequate' natural language. This is very useful by comparison.
…I don't think you're a real chatbot!!
im addicted to ssds
Pretty good, though I think the actual ATL was something like $70 (dependant on eBay coupon + Westpac&Shopback cashback + WD gift card redemption).
Why deal_coefficient always ends in .43 ?
Paid $129 for it on Friday, I'd say its a bargain now.
thankyou. i cancelled my sn700 for this one. to save some dollaroos
Is the 5yr warranty valid on a deal like this(ie global warranty) or should it be considered 30 days amazon warranty only?
Amazon has a 30-day return window, in which (for most products) if you return it unopened within 30 days you'll get a full refund. This is not a warranty, it is a change-of-mind return. They also accept returns for defective or damaged items, which would be a warranty. Their terms can be read here.
The 5 year warranty is Western Digital's, which you'd need to look at their policy to see what their terms are, which can be found here. With this particular deal, you may have issues with the clause (emphasis mine) "No warranty service is provided unless the Product is returned to an authorized return center in the region where the Product was first shipped by WD, which may have regional specific warranty implications"; which to me reads that if WD shipped it to Amazon in the UK (which I suspect would be the case for this deal), then the product must be returned to that region and that region's warranty is what applies.
Another layer to this cake is Australian Consumer Law (ACL), which applies to every company in Australia when they sell you goods or services. I emphasised in Australia as you need to be careful with online purchases, as if the company is not Australian then they do not come under nor need to follow ACL. This deal would be a grey area as you are purchasing a product from an overseas vendor (WD UK) from a local retailer (Amazon AU) via their overseas storefront (Amazon UK). Who/what is covered by ACL here? In this particular case, I suspect you won't have too many issues as you're dealing with a reasonably customer-centric retailer and a reputable manufacturer, but strictly speaking… I'm not sure; but you can always read the legislation!
Great price if you buy 2 with gift card $78.65 each
Nice one - can someone recommend an enclosure for this to use on a macbook pro? thanks!
If you have a deep pocket, get a Thunderbolt enclosure. However, all the cheap ones are no longer be sold and nowadays one such enclosure would cost more than this drive.
If you want to save money, get a cheap USB-C USB 3.2 gen 2 enclosure (either an ASMedia or Realtek chipset one) for $15 or lower.
Would this fit the Steam Deck?
No, that takes M.2 2230 form factor. This is 2280.
This one will fit
No, steam deck only fits 2230 sized SSD internally, this is 2280. The 2230 are quite hard to find at a good price too. This one could be paired with an external enclosure and used as an external storage device.
Ah, thanks!
Is it much cheaper to build your own PC?
I've never done it, can't be rocket science.
I'm not sure I cbf waiting and waiting to find parts to save a tiny percentage, unless it's substantial?
It's usually about 20-30% cheaper but really depends on profit margins set from the builder.
Up to you if you'd like to not worry about separate warranty issues and go to the one place. However, building is a good experience and recommend just watching YouTube (e.g. PC builder) or going on Reddit for build advice (i.e. r/bapcsalesaustralia)
30% saving would definitely be worth it!
it costs about the same or cheaper if you are patient to find parts at a good price.
One large drawback of prebuilt system is that asides from GPU and CPU, all the other parts are crap or low tier
Generally the most concerning thing that prebuilts skimp on is the PSU - get a reliable, reasonably efficient one with 10 year warranty and you will be able to reuse it in your next two computers.
The second is the motherboard, which is often bottom of the barrel stuff with poor thermal headroom for durability and low in I/O ports and component slots.
And lastly your case choices (aesthetics) are restricted to what the builder wants to use for cost/efficiency reasons.
You are basically trading time (your time) to save some money. Generally, you would do a DIY build if:
The disadvantages are:
Yes
Thanks, looks like I'm spending $91.83 today lol.
For 1TB version, with NV2, cheapest was around $90. However:
Honestly, unless you are after the cheapest SSD you can put in PS5 (because NV2 supports PCIe gen 4 x4, even if its performance is more like in PCIe gen 3 x4), this one is better.
But just for fun and to confuse you, this is NV2 Phison E21 version, on PCIe gen 4 x4 with Zero Fill test (which Phison E21 does appear to cheat a lot). Zero Fill is pretty useless normally (unless you love wiping your SSD).
NV2, 1TB, Phison E21, Zero Fill Test, PCIe gen 4 x4
Under normal conditions, SN570 generally performs slightly better than NV2.
For those who want to get it sooner, can pick up from some local stores for $119 (-$20 gift card back)
PROMOTIONAL PERIOD – 8 November 2022 – 8 January 2023. Expired.
Good pick up but weird as there seems an extension to 23/01/2023 on the umart website possibly the prize pool has still. May need to confirm!
WD terms: " the form on the Promotion website will remain open for claims until 15 January 2023 for products purchased within the aforementioned Promotion Period", with the promotion period lasting until 8 January.
@tekisei: Interesting tho the promotion is still available and this time the 570 is even cheaper referring to the last deal posted just now.
@Bii: I guess they didn't exhaust the redemptions. The promotion name changed from "WDC Bonus Gift Card Promotion Christmas 2022" to "Back to School & Back to Work with WDC", with a 2 week gap in between.
In 2020 NSW law was changed to allow multiple promotions under a single license valid for x amount of years.
WD's license (NSW Authority No. TP/01027) was run for both promotions. The license is still valid.
Steam deck 2 need to change their form factor ssd. A slidable 2280 slot would be awesome.
So I got my order of 3x 1TB today but received 3x250GB(with label for 1TB on the back)..

Hope no one else is in the same position, have not contacted Amazon yet but I imagine they will sort it out after investigating.
Bugger- sorry to hear that, hope Amazon sort it quickly for you.
I ordered in the same deal and received the correct component.
Yeah the return option from NZ seems pretty easy(DHL pickup from our door with pre printed label) but dissapointing after waiting weeks for them to get the wrong ones then wait weeks for return/processing then weeks for new ones to arrive. Might be better off asking for credit back
Also buy 2 save %10, two ssds $165.29 delivered for me
