Was $219 US a couple of days back. At the higher price it's getting too close to the GST threshold to risk it IMO.

How reliable are these Sandisk SSDs? I have an old SSD that stopped working for a while on the weekend and I was going to get another Samsung 850 pro, but it's $89 for 120GB compared with $55 for the Sandisk.

Had a 120 Sandisk for 2-3 years with no majors.

The only major issues with consumer SSDs that I am am aware of were early OCZ models (like 3-4 years ago) and some recent Samsung firmware guff.

You will probably see lower r/w speeds on a Sandisk than a Samsung Pro model, but unless you are doing something super amazing disk wise I doubt you will notice.

Thanks. Performance is pretty irrelevant, my old SSD is pretty slow. I'm after low latency and reliability. Will probably get the 850 pro.

M.2 Drives are the way of the future.

I suspect they might be dumping stock :)

For a primary OS drive, yeah, but secondary storage will be sata for a while longer. I think the move to nvme will get m2 moving in the desktop space soonish, but that is still only a single drive on the motherboard unless you start messing about sticking them into the expansion slots.

$199 for 1TB SSD is pretty awesome.

What's the deal with returns/warranty? Eyeing Samsung 850 EVO and Kingston RAM. Can you return in somewhere locally, or got to send to the USA?

The price for pro dropped $5 again, if you care just contact Amazon and they will refund the difference as long as your purchase is within 7 days from the price drop.

Bought a Samsung 850 500Gb from Amazon for $161.98 and saw today its now $147.99. Just asked if there was any chance of a refund for the difference and they said OK, so am getting $13.99 US back - and that's for something bought on the 6th. Pretty impressive I think. Don't think there's any guarantees after 7 days though.
