"OEM 256GB NVMe" - PBTech.co.nz
Spend an extra $1 and use code FREESHIP for free delivery (min. $20 spend)

Quite the popular deal over at Cheapies.

_________________________

Some notes from Cheapies:

"For any of you who are wondering what the difference is between 2242 and 2280 in terms of performance, from what I have read, 2280 form factors should have a better performance and heat dissipation if you don't mind the bigger size."

"Bought both and have received them. They seem to be Samsung variants and are brand new. Both only had 1 hour use Checked on crystalmark info. Speeds are around 1600Mbs read and 1200Mbs write."

"Mine were delivered this morning. Both of the SSDs I received are Samsung PM991a. The memory is SK hynix."

Limit of 1 means that upgrading both my crapbox computers will be one getting the big one and one getting the small one for the nvme drives which is a shame.

Done - thanks.
I bet PBTech is suddenly getting a spike in sales of small packs of AA batteries from people bumping the purchase price over $20 to get that free shipping deal 😁

Might do a second order so that both computers have matching drives. Not 100% on being able to put a small drive on the underside of the ITX boards, only ever had large ones in there.

I get LR44's since I have a use for them and they're not crazy expensive like the AAs are compared to the packs from the big green church.

Comment from a Cheapies member / PB Tech employee:

"For the people who ask
They are removed from New laptops we upgrade them in house with bigger ones hence these extras.
The Brand varies by what we get and some are better than others its a lottery.
I have a couple with Dram caches so they are great."
