It's my first time post, so please let me know if there is any issue with the format.
I've been looking at the 4TB NVME to build my SFFPC and I think this one seems affordable. the only downside i can think of is AMAZON US.
I am a Amazon Prime member so I don't know if there is any delivery cost for non prime member.
CamelCamelCamel.
It doesn't bother me much because i don't need the heatsink. my new SFFPC will be just a daily PC e.g. watching youtube and netflix.
They why do you need an NVMe drive? There are cheaper ways to get 4TB for daily use.
Seeing as you know about this stuff. I got my kid that Raetan Alloy 9 from the other week but need more storage. Any difference to getting an external 2.5" or 3.5" drive? I just want to plug it in via USB and forget about it. But not sure if thats the done thing with those portable drives. Any help appreciated.
@zfa: If you want fast external storage, get a External 2.5inch SSD. If you want more storage, get a 3.5inch HDD. As long as its USB3.0 minimum, the transfer speed will be faster than the drive speed.
I was hesitant to upgrade to these a while ago, and while I do use them for some pretty heavy work, the tiny form factor convenience they offer makes me wish I was able to just exclusively use these in place of any old form factor of hard drive. It felt like make a huge sudden jump in technology level, no cables or space for a box required in the case.
There are cheaper ways to get 4TB for daily use.
Cheaper, but significantly worse with some major compromises. Hard drives are noisy and not as reliable, SATA SSDs are hardly any cheaper.
I will only use NVMe SSDs for local internal storage now - no noise, no cables, no fuss.
Most modern motherboards have in-built heatsinks
Just get a jeyi icecool-007 off AliExpress for like $7 or $8

Generally speaking everyone gets free delivery from Amazon Global (.com.au) when you hit the min. spend threshold of $59.
For Amazon Global Store orders; you must add over AUD $59 of eligible items inclusive of 10% Australian GST before checkout which are dispatched and sold by Amazon US or Amazon UK to qualify for free international shipping https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/help/customer/display.html?node…
Thank you for the information :)
Lowest price ever for Amazon based on Camels x 3 price history.
It’s been under $400 a few times.
I bought mine from Amazon Germany via this deal.

Edit: mine is a different model.
Any differences between the gaming version?
Nice deal :D
is this better then the Lexar NM790 4TB ?
No
But that mofo isn't in promotion since Feb/March.
It's $359 at mwave
Bear in mind - mwave did just go into liquidation and was bought out. Whether or not they are back to business as usual, I don't know.
As per comments in that mwave deal it's actually cheaper elsewhere, eg BPC tech
no
HMB no cache for $400? I've bought 4TB SN850X in past just a few pennies more than this
2 weeks ago picked up a similar HMB Biwin M350 4TB for $250
Same, waiting for SN850 to come back to around $400. No luck though.
I'm being really cheeky here I know, but I just saw this for 279 at centrecom. Do you know if it would go in my kid's Reatan Alloy 9? Getting him an extra 4TB all internal would literally be a dream come true for me.
Reatan Alloy 9 has 2 x Gen 4x4 2280 slots so should work fine
And if ur talkng the Biwin M3450 4tb, I considered Centrecom, but they charge a credit card/paypal surcharge, so I bought if with free postage from Better Office Supplies online (they are Perth based) - arrived a few days later by Startrack AU Post
Thanks so much man! Got the drive from BOS today, 15mins to install it and all working like a charm. Sure my kid will be super pleased when he gets back from school. 💪
@zfa: Good to hear! Did they still have $20 for membership and get free postage? Eitherway, best price with BIWIN M350 4TB Working a treat as a storage drive for backups on my server destop - laptops and minis I use DRam DRIVES
This Biwin is stil lthe BEST BUY overall!!!!
Bought a Fanxiang 4tb ssd with heatsink mouted for around $280 just a few days ago. May not be as good as other big brands but meet my needs

I got a 2t 990pro for about $190 after cashback from everyday market sold by Samsung
Still is. On amazon.
This was $407 when I got it in October
