Is this the "new normal" for a good price on this? There was a deal $22 cheaper in Feb, but inflation, supply chain, yadda yadda, and something in that thread about "contamination?"

:
why buy these when nvme ssd are available with speeds up to 7000 mb/s vs this at 560 mb/s...
Because not everyone have nvme or maybe run out of available slots. Should they spend $1k to upgrade their motherboard to the latest that have 4 slots and create more ewaste?
Already had this in my cart the last couple of days and have been waiting to see if the price dropped on Prime day. I think this is as good as it gets.
I also could have purchased a 1TB, but at $115 it didn't make any sense when you double your space for $55 more (2TB is $85/TB vs $115/TB) and I'll be less worried about clearing data off...
Pulled the trigger.

I have a 2TB 850 pro. Would this be significantly better or not?
This *may* have more cache, but is it significantly better? Hard to say as i don't know what you have now.
Cache helps with moves/copies, etc., but once the cache fills up you're only writing at the speed of the nand/controller. if I had a 2tb pro, I would ride it out but it's up to you.

Ouch! Sounds kind of small for 2TB today.....Fill that up with a basic move/copy....
Oh well, that's double what the old 1TB 850 Evo had (I have 3x of them) so it will work.
