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.

What’s the catch?
I mean is it getting cheaper because SSDs generally have lower life expectancy?
More supply & lower demand = cheaper goods, plus technology that creates it gets more wide spread so competition arises, and many other factors contribute to the fall in prices such as an improved model coming out making older models cheaper.
Good to see the prices are going down when everything else is getting crazzy expensive.
I bought some SSD in 2019 worth of 290$ and payed with 0.5 ethereum. That would be 900+$ today kekw
And people still say Bitcoin would fall apart if it increased it’s blocksize limit that was set over a decade a go…
For the longest time, SSD prices stayed high. I think with supply outstripping demand by so much finally forced their hand to drop by quite a bit. Instead of a smooth decrease over time, it feels like sudden drops. Also, QLC means higher storage density for cheap.
