If you absolutely need Gen 3, this is a decent price. Gen 4 drives are selling at this price point now, some even lower. If your mobo or PS5/XBOX can handle Gen 4, this is not a deal for you.

Open box "Very Good" currently at $93.60. Typically they're new and the box has minor cosmetic wear.

My pc doesn't support gen4 but I still bought it due to backwards compatibility. Good fit when I eventually upgrade my PC

I don't see the value in buying Gen 3 at this price when Gen 4 is about the same

For example https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QV692XY is $104.99

WD_BLACK 1TB SN770 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 5,150 MB/s - WDS100T3X0E

Agree with your reasoning, but you're referring to a Dram-less drive, hence why it's that cheap. Try to stay away from Dram-less... creates instability in write data and reduced longevity. Perfectly fine for gaming though, you're not doing much writing there and data isn't all that important anyway. For boot drives, DRAM.

Samsung just cannot stop ripping people off.

Still waiting to replace my 1TB NVMe SSD I bought four years ago for $69. Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron stop colluding to milk the consumer at 1-2TB kkthx. We are ready to be cheated at 8-128TB.

Digitimes: Samsung new NAND flash capacity coming online in 2H21 may worsen price falls.

Everyone has been brainwashed to eat these high prices because xyz reasons. It's easier and cheaper to print ssd NAND memory than make a hard drive yet you don't see those staying stationary at 1-2TB for the past 4 years.

Well, technically what you said is correct. However, does everyone need it - Maybe not.

I am quoting below from an article which I read How to Select Between DRAM vs. DRAM-less SSDs [virtium.com]

Quote :
Conclusion
DRAM-less SSDs are an attractive alternative for customers that do not need high-sustained performance over a long operation timeframe. DRAM-less SSDs also provide an effective cost-saving solution and is not susceptible to seasonal DRAM shortages which can unexpectedly increase component pricing and availability of DRAM-enabled SSDs.

Having no built-in DRAM within today's NVMe SSDs also enables a lower power draw, efficient PCB routing, and better thermal management characteristics.

For customers that want to balance a lower SSD cost structure with higher performance, the Host Memory Buffer (HMB) was enabled. HMB deployment allows DRAM-less SSDs to utilize some of the DRAM attached to the system's Central Processing Unit (CPU) through the PCIe connection, which significantly improves both costs and performance parameters.
