In 2017, I bought a 1TB 960 Evo for 466€. Now, in 2023 the 1TB 970 Evo Plus is 43€.

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.

You young fellas sit back, I’mma tell you about the time in '96 that I bought a 1GB hard drive for a thousand doll-hairs. And then later that year got 64MB of RAM for another thousand doll-hairs, and the next month the price dropped in half. I could run two java programs AT THE SAME TIME!

No joke though, in the 90s you could buy a HDD with a size advertised on the box and get it home to find that the drive was actually bigger than advertised. They were making advances so fast in the manufacturing that they literally didn’t have the time (or it wasn’t worth the cost) to keep up with updating the boxes.

This is how hardware should work! Overtime what was bleeding edge is now the norm and as such should be priced accordingly… Looking at you Nvidia

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.

I wonder then, if for low capacity NAS home systems using these consumer drives is a good idea. Drives certified with “NAS reliabilty”, ssd or hdd, are still as expensive as they have always been, is it a ripoff?
