      It was $265 with free Mr Beast chocolate, this is hardly a good price tbh.

  • grey import again no Australia warranty, wouldn't risk it.

      I thought you can always claim warranty from Amazon Australia for such purchases…..!!!!

      • https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/help/customer/display.html?node…

        These are the terms attached to US based items.

        "Manufacturer warranties may not apply in Australia and manufacturer service options may not be available in Australia. You are responsible for reviewing available product information to ensure that the International Product you are purchasing meets your needs and expectations.

        When purchasing International Products, you acknowledge that the sale occurs outside of Australia and that you are importing the products for your personal use, which will be reflected on customs documentation. You will be listed as the importer of record for customs purposes. "

        Bit shady - yes… legal - yes.

        • Manufacturer warranties may not apply

          But seller warranty will.

          • @Azro: Not if the seller is in the united states. You're effectively using Amazon like ebay for US goods.

            • @ozturtle:

              IMPORTANT NOTICE TO AUSTRALIAN CUSTOMERS
              Nothing in these Conditions of Sale is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any non-excludable right or remedy you have under law including the Australian Consumer Law. Any disclaimer, exclusion, or limitation as provided for in these Conditions of Sale applies to the full extent permitted by law and subject to any non-excludable right or remedy.

              ACL still applies to sellers (but not manufacturers).

              • @Azro: In this case Amazon AU isn't the seller though afaik. The item is sold by Amazon US and you act as the importer, Amazon AU is just acting like a marketplace much like eBay.

                I would only trust ACL being honoured for items that explicitly say they're sold by/despatched by Amazon AU.

                • @twister292: Probably debatable, but debatable ACL coverage is not as reassuring as Australian manufacturer warranty + guaranteed ACL coverage.

                  Amazon may be ok generally, but do we want to put it to the test in 3 or 4 years time if this dies? Especially when they have published terms and conditions, quoted above, which are potentially to try and limit their legal liability. Under ACL the reasonable life of an SSD at this price may be deemed 2 years for all I know.

                  Probs worth it if it's cheap… But this is more expensive than local stock + 3rd party heatsink…

  • I don't get it

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/917983

    These were 335 a few weeks ago too.

    Edit
    Ohhhh with heat sink! Sorry, too many late nights

      Better to buy without a heatsink and get an $8 jeyi one off AliExpress

  • +5

    232L TLC = 2600mb/s on cache exhaustion

    much faster than 990 Pro (actual ~1400mb/s) in seq

    faster than sn850x (actual 1600mb/s) in seq

    lower power and cooler than both, 6w vs 7w and 10w load respectively

    higher endurance than both by about 20%

    excellent drive

  • +8

    I'd still get local nm790 without heatsink for $349 and chuck it in a $9 heatsink instead of dealing with with grey imports.

    Also klevv cras c910 is $299

    • I bought the one without heatsink recently, does heatsink make a big difference? Also I'm capped at PCI Gen 3 speeds because of my mobo

      • +1

        See what temps the drive is reporting and decide for yourself.
        My sn850x in a small case was reporting about 65-70° under load iirc. Added an $8 jeyi heatsink and now sits around 45° under load.
        70° is probably still fine, but for $8 I figure why not

    • Yep, why you would purchase from the US for this price I do not know… Always seem to be available for significantly cheaper locally (though sans heatsink).

    • +1

      Wonder how reliable that klevv c910 is
