This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
In 2018 I bought a 500Gb 780(?) (Still SATA, NVMe was still not really generally available) for 150€. I think it now goes for like 30€.
Just made a new build, 6 tb of Evo was less than $300. Prices are great at the moment
That's good to see. :) What's a good and reliable brand/model to look out for? I don't trust many of those unknown (to me at least) manufacturers with the cheapest prices.
I feel like you paid a lot for that SSD, I think I bought 1TB for 150€ at about that time. Still, prices now are great
I went on https://geizhals.eu/samsung-ssd-960-evo-1tb-mz-v6e1t0bw-a1511201.html clicked on the right side where you have the price history, clicked on max and when I bought it January 2017 the price was between 440€-460€. Only in late 2018 it went under 300€.
Puts a tear to my eye. My laptop still has a 256gb m.2 SSD as its main drive because everything else was too expensive at the time.
