now around rm125 for 480GB SSD

few months ago was hovering around rm110 IIRC

I saw Gigabyte 480GB for RM99 in Sept.

good catch I must say

now already rm125

check out chinese NVME, bought Kingbank 1TB NVME for RM189 back in June 2023.

What I notice is the prices of Seagate hard disk price.
The prices on Seagate "official store"on Shopee is about the same as the "reseller" price on distributor pricelist.

Whereas thw price on Amazon (sold and fulfill by Amazon), after convert to Ringgit is so much cheaper than what being publish on the distributor pricelist.

The difference is huge about rm2k difference for a 20TB drive. Maybe the local distributor want to make huge fat profit or the government want to make huge big profit out of import duties or maybe US put a sanction on Hard disk drive export? I don't know.

Confirm currency not good. Also manufacturing costs getting higher. In Sept/ Oct can still buy 480GB SSD at just slightly above RM100. Now most are going back up.

Blame local distributor jacking up MSRP prices.

Dulu tahun 2000 . simpan hard disk for 6 - 12 month no one care.
padahal kat hard disk ada tulis date manufacture bila.

for some parts, I guess MY is much cheaper

The shipping fee expensive?

chinese is capable to make its own chip now.
so much cheaper in China.
my benchmark in win7 (AM4):

how about the warranty/RMA?

How to explain the AMD CPUs "Made in Malaysia" in Malaysian retail shops are more expensive compared to US retail price even after currency conversion ?

They exported the CPUs out from Malaysia and then reimported them to sell ?

lol, nope, coz so cheap, make it as my OS drive.

Better run business online. No need see customer unsatisfied face. 

even for OS drive, I dont think I wanna take that unnecessary risk, at least got 3 years warranty, 120GB for RM69 is good enough for OS drive

such a pain to go through to setup back the OS desktop and all.

I rather go for 1st grade sampah ssd like what lawliet88 mentioned
