It’s incredible how much the prices have fallen and that’s how it should be. Sure, I bought the 960 close to launch but still the difference is staggering.
The 960 Evo still chugs along albeit it’s a new one because a few months after I bought it, I had to RMA it. I guess that’s what happens when you are an early adopter. I lost a few hours of work when the original 960 Evo decided to stop working but it also taught me to be more paranoia with backups.
It’s about time. SSD prices stagnated for years!
Here are my purchases over the past years:
Today the Samsung 970 EVO+ NVME 2TB is $109. The 870 EVO 4TB SATA is $170. Each about half the price as one year ago.
I ordered a 870 EVO 4TB since all the time spent on self hosted has been eating up my NAS storage.
The 870 QVO 8TB is on for $320 today!
