Thanks just sold my car for this!

buy 4 x 1tb ssd drives or more and run in raid in a tower = super fast and it's a lot cheaper and you can use as a server

For perspective i bought 4 dacia sanderos for way less than 4 rolls royces

It is expensive though :smile:

4TB SSD. Nice.

Great find op always needed to know these best price for a 4tb ssd.

Its not that expensive really, when you think about how much 32GB / 64GB / 96GB were when they came out.

This is a better drive and cheaper:

4tb must be very heavy for that €50 shipping!

heat because it's ballin

My mother went on a carribean cruise holiday with all the the perks island hoping for that money

wait 12 months and it will be £200

would it let me run Minecraft in 4k?

Ok that's a big ass ssd :laughing: heat from me

guys don't worry, it's just a 1100 quid ssd!

This deal is posted so nonchalantly.

voted hot just for fun.

Hot

I paid £250 for a 32mb HDD in 1987 ha ha. In 20 years time the whole DRIVE concept will have vanished into antiquity.

For perspective last year when Amazon were doing 30% off in the warehouse I got 4TB WD Greens for £56ish, two were under warranty till mid 2017 and two none as OEM.

can't think of one consumer application for this drive..

The fact that 4TB SSD's are in production and selling has just helped me decide to stop buying standard mechanical hard drives for raid purposes to get a fast speed when editing 4k video!

Gaming.
Editing.
Etc

This is probably one of those prices that we'll quote in a decade's time about how expensive 4TB drives used to be :wink:

As SSD's are sold in higher volumes prices will reduce, standard 3.5in and 2.5in SATA HDD's will be slowly phased out as the IDE hard drive did. Similar to how memory sticks replaced the need for DVD-RW Writer drives. We are now seeing SSD's sold by computer companies in laptops and this will only grow and further reduce the market cost to consumer levels. Every year I buy the largest SSD available, a year later its sold for half the price!

Great find!

But I'm going to hold on until they come down to ... around 4p.

So apparently Richard Branson lurks around this site.

Can this fit and be used in a PS4?

not sure about the word only in the title.

Like how this 320gb drive for £56 was considered a hot deal on HUKD not too long ago.

link

Based on your 32mb for £80 (I paid a lot more than that for a Psion SD) the 4TB if available then would cost £10,485,760
this deal is the bargain of the century!!

Need to pick one of these up on my shopping trip!

Does Richard Branson want one for his PS4? anyway, as it's 2.5" it'll fit in the PS4.

And in terms of price, it isn't that expensive when compared to the price of other SSDs when they were first launched, I agree that it's expensive when compared to items outside of computing, however, people do spend this amount of money on graphic cards, monitors and such.

​Voting cold then

I've just ordered 6, who needs to eat for the next 4 months

bookmarking to check back in 2 years to compare price

Would there be customs duty on this?

Others' doesn't even cost that much anymore, lol.

Not whilst we're still in the EU...

Did she get to keep to ship?

I doubt my 500 game Steam library would fit on this.

Will bite at £30

There is of course a premium to pay for cutting edge technology and performance, but most people will be better served buying an equal performing 500GB SSD plus 4TB+ mechanical HDD for ~250.

My first HDD capacity was 200MB, and mated with a DX2 66 processor and 8MB RAM offered awesome storage and performance at the time (early 90's). I think the whole system cost the best part of £2k back then. Original Doom played great on it once I had copied all of the 5-and-a-quarter inch discs over to the HDD. I still have it stored within my garag, along with a nice cream 14" CRT monitor.

Why would anyone buy a 4TB SSD with a SATA interface for >£1000? It sounds quite silly to me. And it's definitely not fit for a data center.

I'd rather buy the Intel 750 1.2TB PCI-e SSD for £650... it's way faster and reliable.

Made that mistake in the past, these consumer drives die so quickly when used for anything with high IOPS. Even in a "Safe" RAID 10 the drives typically fail in pairs. The 845DC variant is significantly better for this but even then for core services in a business setup if you feel that the speed of flash is needed it's worth pushing to a enterprise SAS drive. Unless failure is acceptable with a degree of loss in which case take your chances. This is coming from a guy who thought 8x 850 Pro drives in a RAID 10 and under-provisioned by 50% would give me more than 18 months life before failure.

Only £1,130!? just ordered 3

​Minecraft in 4k, the sun's a square it deserves a crt monitor lol.

No, just someone who knows what relative means.

thanks OP. sold my wife for this.

It is more of an insurance thing I would guess...

Thanks bought 10 of this, faster than the flash!

it won't be very long before you can buy this £1000 cheaper such is technology. :man:

Only £10,000, don't forget a megabyte is only 1000 here :P

For minecraft the sata3 connection of this SSD would be a bottleneck on your performance, you'll need a SSD that goes directly into your PCIe socket with data transfer of 4GB/s

Hi
isn't it 4194304mb (4TB) / 32mb = 131,072 x £80 = £10,485,760

based on putting a 4 in the TB section http://www.convertunits.com/from/MB/to/TB

for the same money, I will get full set high tech gaming pc with 4tb hdd.

Nah, HDD manufacturers use the data transmission unit which is in 1000s, for example 1000 bytes per kilobyte as opposed to 1024. So it's 4,000,000,000 megabytes available on the drive.

"Data transmission unit". That would mean transfer rate not storage. The values you describe have zero to do with transmission but with static storage amount. At least you had a good try at making something up, so kudos for that.

These will probably under £100 in a few years

You could say that about just about every computer component...

Was trying to simplify things, but HDD manufacturers use the SI unit in multiples of 1000. RAM manufacturers and software considers a megabyte as 1024 bytes. Data transmission is measured in 1000s, so I associate HDD sizes with that.

​I've got a feeling the ps4 only supports upto 2tb due to the file structure it uses.... Could be wrong...

Samsung can phuck right off. SSD's have been around for a good few years now and they're still disgustingly expensive.

With the new m.2 and PCIe drives becoming the new gizo, you'd have thought SATA SSD's would have switched to fully easing out mechanical drives and expanding space at the cost of performance.

Instead the 'new' SSD's only go to 4TB for the general consumer, and for the price of a small second hand car. Anyone who buys this is an idiot, simply put. There's a huge market out there for people who want an SSD because of the increase in performance and the fact they're silent. If I want a performance drive i'd drop my wad on an m.2 drive.

You can buy two 10tb drives for this price from Seagate. Five times the space at half the speed. Looks like we'll have to wait a few more years before Samsung and the rest of these tech companies pull their heads out their own asses.

​she could save the photos of 50 trips with this :stuck_out_tongue:

Welcome to the cost of making the **** things.

Apart from the 4TB drive being a little out of line (+20%), the 250GB -> 500GB -> 1TB -> 2TB prices pretty much scale precisely with capacity. They are price based on the cost of making the NAND.

If you want cheaper NAND, well, good luck. It's not getting much cheaper because smaller processes are more expensive. They are implementing alternative methods, such as 3D NAND and TLC, which doesn't improve performance but does improve capacity/price. So that's exactly what you are arguing for.

So the "problem" is that this **** is simply just expensive and hard to make cheaper.

Didn't they have a tsunami that trashed a lot of their warehouses? either way they used that as a reason to raise prices but decided to keep them high.

You need a lesson in mass adoption.

yeah im not entirely happy with my purchase do you accept returns ?

​oi she faulty I want my money back

no consumer has e.g. 500 games at e.g. 8GB each.

no consumer would need to do (ambiguous) "editing" that would exceed a 4TB HDD's capabilities.

"Etc" is not a consumer application.

Thanks ordered two !!!

Remortgaged my house for a couple of these..
Thanks!!

​porn

There's always one.

Funny thing is, this is the 850 Evo which is the cheaper version of the series. I wonder how much a 850 Pro would cost!

​e.g. avg. video filesize of 1GB, you're still not going to fill this drive.

4k porn, and most 1080 vids exceed 2GB.

nice admission

point still stands

A 1TB Pro costs about 35-40% more than a 1TB Evo, so assuming that would still be true (I don't see why it wouldn't be) a 4TB Pro would likely be ~£1550.

A good price if you *really* need 4TB in a single SSD drive.
You could save over a hundred quid by putting in 2x 2TB drives instead. If you need a single volume you can run them in RAID 0 (stripe) mode - you would get better performance than a single drive but at the expense of twice the chance of a drive failure: http://www.ebuyer.com/718382-samsung-850-evo-2tb-2-5inch-ssd-mz-75e2t0b-eu

It's not a good deal at all. As far as I can see at the moment they're the only option if you want a high capacity SSD. For that price you could buy yourself an epic X99 system...

I wouldn't even fork the money out if they knocked 50% off. It's bad enough modern day GPUs cost more than half a grand, let alone a bleedin haed drive!

I thought this was a laptop. Now I'm realising its only a SSD. £1,000 for memory?!?
Fudge that !

Just bought one. Now have to start saving again for a PC to put it in!!
