Holy shit, it's ~$265. I didn't realize SSDs (M.2 ones no less) came down that fast. It was only a few years ago that the price was ~$1/GB.

- gameswithgo 6y agoYeah its really great. Makes building the pc easy too, no cables. Just pop in in the motherboard.
- NovemberWhiskey 6y agoI think it's been longer than that - I took a look at the receipts for a PC I about five years ago and the 512GB SSD was ~$220 at the time.
- AtlasBarfed 6y agoI think you can get 2TBs around 200$. Yup, confirmed on newegg, not even "white label".
- kabdib 6y agoFour bits per cell, though. I worry about that.
- r00fus 6y agoI bought some lower end SSDs (sata b/c my 10y old machine) more than a year ago that were below 10c/GB. Even at a 50% premium for latest tech, prices haven't gone down that much since.
- dragontamer 6y ago1TB SSDs $100 to $150 for the last year or two, initially just SATA ones, but M.2 (especially QLC) ones inched down to there (with 1TB SATA QLC regularly below $100 now). Samsung 980 is a premium SSD with much faster performance, so $265 is pretty expensive, you can get a 2TB "normal" M.2 drive for that much. So you'd only go for the Samsung 980 if you really needed the speed.
