    Damn thats an incredible price for a newly released product, I wonder if they had already committed to producing 4tb variants before the drop in demand. Would they not be losing money on this?

    • Ryxxi on 15/11/2023 - 18:29

      Loose money ? Prob costs rhem $ 50 to make 1 at prod quantities.t

      • furakoph on 15/11/2023 - 22:03

        R&D, warranty, customer support, distribution costs are a thing.

        $50 to make but how much to develop one of the best/fastest 4TB SSD in the world?

        • Ryxxi on 15/11/2023 - 22:20

          still prob nothing, its not 100% new tech, its just improvements over previous ones. They prolly made the r and d costs back by selling the first 100,000 units which are priced high. Have you ever tried warranty with Samsung ? its pretty bad.. and these drives usually dont fail unless its a bad firmware.

          • furakoph on 16/11/2023 - 09:44

            @Ryxxi: Costs a lot of money to test new hardware and create/support a firmware for it.

      • raybies on 16/11/2023 - 12:18

        Cost ~US$7.

            @ValouSydney: How does this work ? i dont think amazon does price guarantees on something that isn't a pre order. I tried this multiple times. I dont believe you.

            • ValouSydney on 16/11/2023 - 06:10

              @Ryxxi: Some credit cards offer price protection insurance.
              You claim the price difference from the insurance, not Amazon. It's been discussed multiple times on ozbargain :)

              And you can claim it from any Australian stores.

      The 4TB variant is also single sided so it is not thick.

  • Vyviel on 15/11/2023 - 16:51

    Does this need a heatsink or runs well without one in a PC? The heatsink boosts the price +$200 lol

    • FrugalNotStingy on 15/11/2023 - 17:17

      Can always buy a third party heatsink for $5-$10.

      • Vyviel on 15/11/2023 - 17:31

        Does it need one or can I save the $5-10?

        • FrugalNotStingy on 15/11/2023 - 17:54

          It depends whether you use the SSD for intensive loads. SSDs do throttle once they hit high temperatures. Also depends if the SSD is installed near other hardware which restrict air flows or that your PC has sufficient cooling etc. For Gen 4 drives, it is advisable to have a heatsink but not completely necessary. I would though.
          These drives are expensive, so why skimp on a $10 heatsink if your motherboard doesn’t already have one.

  • voldemort on 15/11/2023 - 17:00

    Can I use this as a standalone external SSD?

    • FrugalNotStingy on 15/11/2023 - 17:16

      Yes, with a suitable enclosure but it is overkill to use this 990Pro in an enclosure.

      • Larsson on 15/11/2023 - 18:11

        Do you have a reasonably cheap 4tb recommendation for very large files and using it in an enclosure as an extension of the boot hardware?

      • voldemort on 15/11/2023 - 18:12

        Thanks - What do you mean by overkill?

        • Cheap Rich Guy on 15/11/2023 - 18:29

          You can get a Lexar 4TB drive for $200 less which you won’t notice a speed difference in the fastest external enclosure.

        • FrugalNotStingy on 15/11/2023 - 21:03

          Overkill as in these fast, top tier SSDs are best to install in PCs to utilise their top speed. When used in an enclosure (even expensive ones), you’d be lucky to get half of what their potential max speeds without throttling.

          • dogsryummy on 16/11/2023 - 10:03

            @FrugalNotStingy: Lol not even that, if you're using a USB 3.2 enclosure like most people are, you're limited to 1 GB/s read/write, leaving the other 6.5 GB/s in the table.

  • FrugalNotStingy on 15/11/2023 - 17:13

    I saw this deal earlier but didn’t make a post because everyone seemed to have been spoiled by the previous 1TB Amazon UK deal. I’ll wait it out to see if it will go lower on Black Friday then cop!

  • teckiwi on 15/11/2023 - 17:18

    This is pretty likely to hit close to $200USD for black friday, it's already sold for $200 on Samsungs US site for military/first responders this week and the 2TB for $100USD 2 weeks ago

  • AircraftFreight on 15/11/2023 - 20:43

    I ended up buying this but also a portable Samsung X5 500GB SSD for $100 USD. Why? Because it probably the best performance out of any portable SSD on the market with it being thunderbolt and a top of the line interface. You can crack it open and replace the SSD with a 2280 replacement, far cheaper than the $700 AUD current price (RRP: $1700) for the 2TB variant or $1,100 for the 2TB Sabrent equiv.

    So I just bought one, that usually means the price will go down soon. Comes out to $402 if you can get the GCX gift cards, I could not.

    • Butt Scratcher on 15/11/2023 - 22:12

      I think it's just an adjustment in the exchange rate. It's been the same price on the US store, AUD went up a bit in the past day

  • xryanlee on 15/11/2023 - 22:46

    the 4TB 990 uses the new Pascal V8 controller and latest 236 layer TLC NAND

    Browsing the Tom's Hardware article, 4TB 990 Pro uses the same Pascal controller, but the latest 236-Layer (V8) V-NAND TLC. The latter helps achieving single sided SSD. V8 NAND appears to improve 4K random read high queue depth IOPs by a significant margin. That's more for server usage though.

    Obligatory reminder that if purchasing one of these from a non-AU based re/e-tailer, Samsung will not honor any warranty for them with in Australia.

    • FrugalNotStingy on 16/11/2023 - 12:51

      Sure. It’s not like Samsung Australia has a smooth RMA process to begin with anyway. I heard from people Samsung has been ignoring warranty claims recently. The only good thing about getting Aussie stock is that we can threat them with ACL.

      I personally had a shocking experience with a Samsung AU warranty claim. It took them more than a year.

      • Ryxxi on 16/11/2023 - 16:04

        Wow.

    • anxiousdevices on 16/11/2023 - 17:36

      Every post for international sellers should come with this warning.
      People be trying to save a few buck while simultaneously giving up change of mind / return / warranty protections.

    • netsurfer on 16/11/2023 - 18:11

      Purchasing from Amazon AU, but seller is Amazon international is generally fine. Warranty service goes through Amazon AU. The only down side is change of mind within initial period incurs a return label charge.

      Samsung AU warranty. If you go direct, you need to send the item back to Samsung. On occasions, you get an upgraded SSD as a replacement, but this is already top of the line Samsung SSD.

  • kungfuman on 16/11/2023 - 13:13

    ok got it time to sell my 2tb samsung now I finally have 4tb of storage on my ps5 yay!!

  • Jace1 on 16/11/2023 - 20:44

    Lexar NM790 4TB is still cheaper

    • Sleepycat3 on 16/11/2023 - 22:34

      Poorer NAND, poorer controller and only HMB.

    • netsurfer on 17/11/2023 - 12:56
      +1

      Lexar NM790 4TB, when it was first available here, it was $255. Right now, I "think" the cheapest option now is $279 through eBay Plus. All time low was $227.15 + delivery.

      Samsung 990 Pro 4TB basically is one of the top, if not the top PCIe gen 4 x4 SSD and tech wise, it beats NM790 in every aspect. NM790 has been a cost effective option.

      Right now, the SSD market situation is confusing. Samsung is supposedly reducing production, but both Samsung and Crucial have released their latest NAND for PCIe gen 4 x4 SSDs (those NAND chips are initially meant for first gen PCIe gen 5 x4). So far, the expectation is YMTC is not reducing NAND chip output so YMTC could take advantage of the situation. YMTC did stockpile heaps of their previous gen NAND (years worth of stockpile apparently).

      WD with their SSDs based on slightly older NAND chips, WD technically has more room to lower their SSD prices.

      Lexar ANZ rep indicates there will be a Black Friday special on NM790. For OZBers, I think it makes sense to try to aim for $227.15 or at most $255 for NM790 4TB (because so many OZBers got NM790 4TB for $255 or less). As for SSD prices are supposed to go up, the thing is, what we've been seeing so far is the average price for decent SSDs (other NM790) is trending downward still. Put it this way, other than NM790, for other SSDs, if I have a time machine, I would rather not buy them a few months ago and buy them now (cheaper).

      Technically, Lexar ANZ could really disrupt the market if the upcoming NQ790 is priced a very competitive price. Right now QLC SSD prices are a bit ridiculous, but a well priced QLC SSD could have a big impact.

      • AircraftFreight on 19/11/2023 - 21:11

        Not to get your hopes up with the NQ790 however in the UK/Europe region the NQ790 2TB and the NM790 2TB are priced exactly the same.
