QUOTE(kmarc @ Nov 15 2018, 10:14 PM) Damn cheap. Registered on Amazon and bought it! Together with a M.2 to PCIe adapter card for my aging Asrock z87. Luckily the latest bios supports NVMe.  how does the warranty works?

QUOTE(iCare @ Nov 17 2018, 09:44 AM) Crucial MX500 1TB now only USD139.99 on Amazon (USD155.15 including shipping + import tax. After convert around ~RM650) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077SF8KMG/ref=tw...ding=UTF8&psc=1Cheaper than any current Malaysian pricing. I think early next year can reach USD100 for 1TB because ssd will not get affected by US tariff. What do you guys think?  Nope. viewnet was selling 1TB MX500 in 11.11 for RM622. Beat that price first. I suspect they gonna do it again in 12.12 sale. I gonna hope they got sell BX500 240GB version. no stock in 11.11

I didn't ask how much cheaper it was though. Bloody hell RM622 is damn cheap. Was it limited to the first 100 buyers or something like that?

Now its back to RM699 just like cannavaro said above. Might as well put amazon prime discount if really want to add voucher etc. This post has been edited by iCare: Nov 18 2018, 05:41 AM

i have bought this many months ago. it's a pcie x 16 adapter kit for nvme ssds. still not sure about its heat dissipation performance, but i guess we can still attach more heat sinks on to it (well, if that helps) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « edit: few pieces of cooling pads are provided but not screws. (at least i couldn't find any from my package. it needs 5 screws) fyi the right screw size is m2, for securing the cooling case, and the ssd. This post has been edited by horns: Nov 19 2018, 02:07 AM

to those who have bought the ssd from amazon, is it better to choose USD instead of RM when paying? because I did the conversion and it seems paying in USD is cheaper
