Okay 2tb is 51% off 187.67, good price?
fairly good, the Samsung pro 980 2tb was $166. I reckon prices will continue to drop in the next 12 months with the new gen coming.
How to know if this is one side compatible or not?
2TB had been sitting at that price for a few weeks. I'm also after a 2TB NVMe.
I've got a few tabs open waiting.
I believe there might be another Prime day in Oct. Waiting!
Would the SK Hynix ones be better ? Or this?
Depends what you want to do. SK hynix don't have a 4TB option for the P41, neither do Samsung have one for the 990 pro yet.
They all aren't that far apart from each other.
I haven't paid attention to SSD's in years to be able to differentiate them, is there a simple explanation as to why this is a good deal @ $379 for a WD 4TB NVMe when this Lexar 4TB NVMe @ $255 exists (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/792769) Thanks :)
The price is a good giveaway that there's no DRAM in the Lexar (uses your computers RAM instead).
This drive will come with 1GB DDR4 per 1 TB storage.
Damn it comes with its own ram? Is that a new concept
No, dram cache is fairly common now.
@DrDan: Yeah there are a few drawbacks from no DRAM.
There are some pros though: less battery usage, cheaper, usually runs cooler.
That Lexar (rebranded Maxio MAP1602) is fairly good what it is and you can see the 50% price premium for adding DRAM.
That video might be a tad outdated as DRAM-less drives are improving.
How does this compare to the recent deal of: "Lexar® NM790 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4×4 NVMe SSD 4TB NVMe SSD" for $255?
Games drive: Lexar
Main drive: this but if you are a casual user then Lexar is probably fine
External drive: this
Hard productivity user: this
It's well tested that the SN850x is the best gaming SSD. The Lexar while has faster sequential read speed on paper does not outperform the sn850x on 3d mark tests.
You will never see a difference in gaming between the two SSDs even with direct storage
yeah good deal I think it is team to finally upgraded my 2tb ssd in my ps5 I have filled it already lol. 4tb here I come :D
WD wouldnt have international warranty would they?
OMG outstanding deal. I love you, OP
I love you too <3 @spinferno
Thanks. Been thinking for a while I need to upgrade my aging 1TB original Sammy Evo. This will do nicely.
Can u add this into an external enclosure ?
Yes, but ideally, you want to an USB 4 / Thunderbolt 4 enclosure (assuming you have USB 4 / Thunderbolt 4 on your PC). Even using such enclosure would only support / use PCIe gen 3 x4.
I am still considering options. I didn't know that we now have usb4. Wow
USB 4 is work in progress:
USB 4 gen 2
USB 4 gen 3x1
USB 4 gen 3x2 (commonly known as the current USB 4)
USB 4 gen 4 (not available yet to public)
Majority of USB 4 enclosures on the market are Thunderbolt 3 or 4 enclosures. Technically USB 4 gen 3x2 should support Thunderbolt.
Anyway, if you just use USB 3.2 gen 2 enclosure with this, it is like buying a V8 engine and then run it like a 4 cylinders engine.
Back in stock again.
Been a price drop every few weeks.
Could this get to $350 in September?
It’s already September but if you’re not in a hurry, you could wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday (near end of Nov).
One in stock (apparently)
More stock now. Be careful though, a couple of Ozbargainers from previous deals reported they either got sent some random stuff or an empty retail box.
“ Usually dispatched within 2 to 5 months “
I’m assuming as this fulfilled by Amazon I can order and should there be another deal and they haven’t shipped this unit I can cancel?
Ordered mine late when this price, but finally got a shipping date.
Arriving October 14.
Current prices $532 from Amazon UK.
My Acasis enclosure to arrive next week.
Mine was updated to shipping in mid nov so I cancelled and will wait for Black Friday and see what deals it brings.
my delivery was lost in transit by auspost.
amazon gave me a full refund.
now ill have to wait until the next sale.
