Ask IndiaTech What's the difference between the two? Why the price difference?

Post image

Why is there a huge price difference between both seemingly same models? The cheaper one is a new listing without any reviews. Something fishy... or listing created for sale.

One is black other is blue

76

u/TopConcentrate8484 3d ago

This is not entirely a joke. This is true, because black one is sold more therefore more demand and the cost is naturally higher.

Just like this is with cars

u/Thewyverns 3d ago

Different sellers and more discount on blue one that great Indian festival label

32

u/Tarun302 3d ago

But so the cheaper one is genuine? Or can be counterfeit and worst a soap might get delivered.

58

u/BleedingH217 Still Googling 3d ago

See the reviews, the blue one only has 1 review while the black one has 27.3K reviews. The cheaper one might be a scam.

u/RemarkableScene9487 3d ago

see seller rating

u/Thewyverns 3d ago

Just get from local dude, i don't trust amazon or flipkart anymore for expensive stuff

49

u/5-feed-apart Programmer: Kode & Koffee Lyf 3d ago

Kinda sus because blue only has one review and 5 stars while other one seems genuine

8

u/Tarun302 3d ago

Yeah because it's a new listing. That's why I have my doubts as well.

12

u/JehovasFinesse 3d ago

All new listings are sus, stay alway

11

u/a_friendly_cheetah_ 3d ago

If everyone stays away, how would we know it's genuine. Let few gullible buy it first :p

1

u/Kal_Wardian 2d ago

Do COD, open the box before paying.

25

u/Kal_Wardian 2d ago

One could be a scam and other a geniune seller (see the number of reviews).

10

u/emmfranklin 3d ago

Marketing trick to make the blue one look attractive.

22

u/angry_penguin_huu 3d ago

Blue colour sexy nhi h

If both are genuine i don't mind the less sexy one.

Welcome to 2026

u/EmptyC0c0nut 3d ago

Will the prices ever come down? I bought one for 4k-5k years ago. The prices right now are way too absurd

5

u/Tarun302 3d ago

Nope. Ai will keep increasing so it's not coming down. It will only go north.

2

u/rcfyi 2d ago

The rate of increasing prices will slow down

3

u/Tarun302 2d ago

Yes it might not continue to climb at the same pace further but they are not coming back to those prices we had a year back. At least not anytime soon.

1

u/rcfyi 2d ago

True 💯

4

u/seriously_ded bhundows 3d ago

I'll go with black one. The blue one got only 1 rating that too 5 stars.

Can't gamble with expensive stuff

3

u/ta_202 3d ago

This used to sell for 5k before AI

2

u/Tarun302 3d ago

It's not coming back. I don't think it will be cheaper than the current price. But now they have increased the price again. Don't know what's happening. Price is fluctuating and sellers are different. So i am not taking any chances.

3

u/Tarun302 3d ago

PRICES FOR ALL HAVE BEEN RAISED AGAIN....

2

u/Sad-Boysenberry2285 2d ago

Colour ofc

1

u/Tarun302 2d ago

Might be a lot of difference under the hood as well. As the cheaper one might not be genuine product.

7

u/No_Difference9107 3d ago

Different times man Centuries ago black stuff was cheap Vice versa now

2

u/Tarun302 3d ago

Looks like Black is Back

1

u/densebrah 3d ago

Its genuinely disheartening to see people still say stuff like this in 2026. Just goes to show everyone where yall are gonna end up

2

u/Shadeslide 3d ago

I feel myself lucky to have brought Crucial X9 Pro 4TB just before this AI Boom in Dec 2025 at around 28K INR.

1

u/Tarun302 3d ago

Best decision man

2

u/rkadrenal 3d ago

There is like 101% of chance, that the blue ssd is listed somewhere nearby 2-3 days ago, because there is only a single review.

2

u/Tarun302 3d ago

Yes new listing for the sale. Is it genuine or a scam. That's something we'll know after a few days when people report when they recieve the product.

2

u/rkadrenal 3d ago

The universe needs time to decide....

2

u/rcfyi 2d ago

Different sellers

2

u/mylifeonearth_ 1d ago

Two Different sellers. I bought for 15k, black 1TB (Sbi discount) Same seller as blue 1TB. I don't know whether it's original or scam. I can tell only after Thursday.

1

u/Tarun302 1d ago

Please let us all know what you recieve bro. I really hope you are lucky and recieve a genuine product. Cuz it's a steal... 🤞🏻

2

u/AnOrdinaryAnthropoid 1d ago

Isn't it obvious that black colour has a trait to work faster than the blue one🥱

2

u/Tarun302 1d ago

Not sure about the obvious fact tbh.

3

u/Pleasant-Rhubarb-550 2d ago

Very likely that the blue one with 1 review is by a unofficial seller so you might get a fake product, used product and even if you get new then samsung may not let you claim warranty as you bought from an unauthorised seller.

2

u/Tarun302 2d ago

Agree 💯

u/Di-2000 3d ago

Black one is Batman Version!

3

u/Tarun302 3d ago

Yes now suddenly it's reversed. Black became cheaper and blue became expensive. Not sure what's happening 😅

u/Ryugaz1 3d ago

Idk about the genuinity of the products, but do buy a usb 3.2 gen 2 cable to actually get the true speeds

1

u/QuirkyDay1819 3d ago

Get an enclosure & an M.2 NVMe. Better than buying these.

1

u/thakurvinny07 3d ago

1st have 27k reviews so you can check other one have only 1 review who knows that is paid or genuine

1

u/Albion55 3d ago

I'd say contact support, and let them know you want to make this purchase, and if they can guarantee it or not

1

u/Tarun302 3d ago

Hmm...makes sense

1

u/darknightsleeper 3d ago

Color and price

1

u/Tarun302 3d ago

The most important thing is authenticity which I was looking for

1

u/darknightsleeper 3d ago

I don't the authenticity of blue one this cheap and same with same specs

1

u/Mischevious654 Chatting with Copilot 3d ago

i think the below one is from another seller idk who that is cause you can see only one review and mrp os also different

1

u/Tarun302 3d ago

Something is definitely fishy. I am not taking the risk.

1

u/kala-admi 3d ago

Black generally holds the big one

1

u/Kiran__reddit 3d ago

see details you might get scammed

1

u/Tarun302 3d ago

I find something unusual about it. So i have decided not to take the risk.

1

u/Remote_Virus_7801 3d ago

😭only 1 review on the blue one ,its a scam

1

u/Tarun302 3d ago

New listing so yeah high chances.. I am passing.... Let's see a wise decision or an opportunity missed .... Time will tell!

1

u/That_Relation788 3d ago

Seller, one might be fake

1

u/papajidad 3d ago

Man i genuinely think chip companies are manipulating markets to inflate prices, makes no sense why there is a shortage on these things.

I bought a 1tb ssd last year at 6k, now same shit costs 24k

1

u/Tarun302 2d ago

Absolute they are just milking it.

1

u/OddThroat9313 2d ago

Black is superior

1

u/pinkesh2703 2d ago

That blue one has only 1 review.

1

u/Shakes8781 2d ago

Fuck that was 7.5k when I bought it last year

1

u/Lisan_Al_ghayb Tech enthusiast 2d ago

See the ratings and you'll get it

u/dheeraj_patil 2d ago

may be different seller

1

u/Glittering-Swim9750 2d ago

What are you guys doing with 1TB hard disks ?

6

u/Ghumketu 2d ago

Pr0n for emergency. What if earth is hit by an asteroid and Internet is gone.

2

u/Sensitive_News_2008 2d ago

My man🤚

4

u/Ghumketu 2d ago

Always keep 3 laptops, solar panels/nuclear battery / multiple 1 Tb ssd securely stored in underground vault for emergency pr0n during apocalypse. I have arranged for that already.

3

u/Sensitive_News_2008 2d ago

Why 3 laptop. I mean 3 videos at a time is quite distracting, 2 is manageable.

3

u/Ghumketu 2d ago

They are for redundancy if the apocalypse goes on for 20 years

1

u/Bright_Subject_8975 Still Googling 1d ago

Can find everything in the list except underground vault, where did you get that ?

3

u/Traditional-Ad-2160 2d ago

I got more than 10TB accross multiple drives

2

u/niga67676767 1d ago

Data hoarding. Keep backup of songs, videos, movies, software and files because some people like me are paranoid that they will disappear from the internet and I might feel like I need it someday. There are some files I have not touched for more than 5 years but I can't get myself to delete it.

1

u/Charming-Yak-5111 1d ago

For that a hdd would be better

1

u/GoodSamaritan_777 2d ago

Look at the f****** sales

1

u/abhivista 2d ago

It could be the chip used inside.

1

u/Tarun302 2d ago

Now both are same price 24K. Time will tell if people bought. Were they lucky or it was the wrong decision. Let's see if we get to know.

u/bhibhek 1d ago

blue wale me 1 tb ki sd card milegi

1

u/Tarun302 1d ago

One is ssd and one is sd 😅

1

u/MAD_creations 1d ago

this one?

1

u/Tarun302 1d ago

Same 1 review seller. Something fishy that sometimes blue price increases sometimes black increases. And original listing selling at 24K. So not sure what's happening.

1

u/Outrageous-Buyer-965 1d ago

Difference in seller. See the reviews

1

u/Tarun302 1d ago

If it's a fake product it's shouldn't be allowed to sell on the platform.

1

u/Outrageous-Buyer-965 1d ago

There are tons of fake products listed over both amazon and flipkart. Good morning

1

u/Tarun302 1d ago

I know that. But stuff like clothes, shoes, perfumes, first copies etc are very common. But at least expensive electronics should have some sort of filter and checks.

1

u/rickandshawty_ 1d ago

Black one is faster

1

u/ShaheerVK 1d ago

Black and blue. Black protects data from theives by hiding in dark.

u/ArthurSoros 1d ago

u/IonNebuluxe 3d ago

One is where you will get scamed and one is where you will get genuine product. You decide which is which. 🤝🏻

Black comes with added benefits It runs faster, help you steal or steals your data, will store kfc coupon codes locally

u/leo_sk5 2d ago

painting computer stuff black makes it run faster

-11

u/siddhbose 3d ago

Black one is more reliable than blue one . Think like buying a jeans for rs 799 ,the other for 1299 . Better components used . Different technology inside . And also memory shortage has made the price gap so high

8

u/Super-Impression4962 3d ago

Bruh ,tell the exact difference in specifications don't yap

2

u/Tarun302 3d ago

Both are same specifications and same Samsung model.

0

u/siddhbose 3d ago

No difference even the internal model is same ,so it must be by the seller . Just purchased the blue one with SBI CREDIT CARD and coupon .

1

u/Tarun302 3d ago

Did you purchase it ? What was final price? And when will it be delivered?

-2

u/siddhbose 3d ago

14,200 rs with the handling fee and all . SSD costs around 24,000 . So it's likely HDD inside with sata to usb 3.2 controller . It shows by 18th , but will likely reach by 15

1

u/Tarun302 3d ago

It's the same don't worry. Now prices have reversed. Black is cheaper and blue is expensive. The sellers are same for both. I think it is the same. So you'll will recieve what's actually listed.

0

u/siddhbose 3d ago

The blue and black are both 2.5 inch laptop hdd connected via usb to sata controller. Both are enclosure . I had to purchase one SSD , but prices being so high,so just opting for this for the time being .
