The Crucial BX500 SSD is one of the best value mid-range SSDs available on the market, sacrificing about ~5% performance for about 2/3 of the price compared to top-tier SSDs as seen from various reviews.

PB Tech will have this SSD for $79.00 during their sale from 9-6PM 06/07/19 as seen here: https://www.pbtech.co.nz/promotions/independence-sale-2019/f…

This is the cheapest price ever for Crucial and likely the cheapest (reputable) half-terabyte SSD ever sold in New Zealand at a sweet-spot of $0.16/GB! At $79 it sets a good benchmark for SSD prices this year.

Delivery from $5.00 or free pickup in store.

  Thanks for the post, I've been meaning to get a SSD for the computer I bought from my brother a few years ago.
  Any tech people able to let me know what part the SSD plugs into? So I can check if I have a kind that fits this as well as my HDD?

  Cheers

    Plug into a standard sata port + power just like a normal mechanical hard drives. Any pc and most laptops bought within the past 12 years will have those.

    The 2.5" SSDs uses the 2 connectors, the SATA data and power interfaces. It is very likely your computer is compatible; this type of connector has been the same since the deprecation of IDE (Parallel ATA) drives ~2005 AD.

    Edit: Wow Cheapies community tech support at its best :) !

  Had the 240GB version of this for about 6months, and never had an issue. (can only comment on 6months because laptop was stolen so now have a whole new beast.)

  why would you not get the Crucial P1 500GB instead. for $20 more you get 1,900 MB/s Read, 950 MB/s write speeds + more 20GB.
