It's about time. SSD prices stagnated for years!
Here are my purchases over the past years:
- 2015 - Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SATA - $164
- 2016 - Samsung 850 EVO 500GB M.2 SATA - $168
- 2016 - Samsung 850 EVO 1TB M.2 SATA - $262
- 2017 - Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SATA - $198 ($30 more than 2 yrs prior)
- 2019 - Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SATA - $160 (finally a decent price on 1TB even though it was SATA)
- 2020 - Samsung 870 EVO+ 2TB NVME - $270
- 2022 - Samsung 870 EVO+ 2TB NVME - $204
- 2022 - Samsung 870 EVO 4TB SATA - $396
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.
