Question Samsung 990 Pro 4 TB versions???

Hi,

I am trying find out what is the difference between MZ-V9P4T0BW and MZ-V9P4T0/AM (except the huge price difference):

They both seems to be the same hardware, but there is price difference.
Samsung support could not come up with logic answer for this.

Thanks

Canada vs Oz.
Possibly import and customs fees?

Same drive.

except the huge price difference

Sure, links you shared do have huge price diff, whereby:
MZ-V9P4T0BW - $699
MZ-V9P4T0B/AM - $469.99

But diff is; $699 is in Australian Dollars while $469.99 is in Canadian Dollars.
Currency exchange rate: $1 CAD = $1.12 AUD.

$469.99 CAD = $525 AUD. Add import tax (and other fees) to it and you can easily end up with $699 AUD for it, when you live in Australia.

But both drives are identical in performance and specs.

Might be.

But if so, why not just get the cheaper from Amazon:

Although the description says "Hard Disk Interface USB 3.0" it's the same model number.
I`m confused.

Any ideas?
Thanks

List price in amazon: $344.99 USD = $473.38 CAD. A bit more than on Samsung page.
While amazon has it currently at sale with $249.99 USD.

Right. Just buy it for 249$ on amazon. I bought mine for 249$ at microcenter. Kind of dumb dumb proof.

Except that if you live in Saskatchewan or Sydney, MicroCenter or AmazonUS is not an option.
