SSD prices are plumetting

Post by Easto »

I've been keeping my eye on 2TB NVMe M.2 drive prices. From everything I'm seeing and hearing, if you need any additional M.2 storage now is the time to start looking. Some articles are even predicting 10-15% price drops in the very near future.


What caught my eye at Newegg...
WD_Black SN770 M.2 2280 2TB PCIe Gen4 for only $110. YIKES

For crying out loud, that's like giving it away.

I may buy one of those too I guess... Starting a collection :rotfl:

Planning to upgrade 2 desktop PCs very soon, so I will need two SSDs. The desktops will likely be Ryzen 7900 or 7700 processors, Asus MoBos, GSkill RAM.

The problem is that I don't really need one. But I WANT one so bad. The drives in my current machine are about 1/4 full, what do I need 2 more tb for? This is just killing me. But I'd love to populate my 2nd M.2 slot.

Just get one! :) If you run out of m.2 slots, you can always use one of those PCI adapters, ask me how I know :rotfl:
