This should be the normal retail price by now, not the sale price. Even Gen 3/4 NVMEs have had more substantial price drops in the past couple of months. I expect these prices to drop into the mid to low $30s this holiday season.

Yep, I've seen 1TB SSD's at $100 for quite a while now.

That's not how price works. Older tech doesn't automatically become cheaper. It's about supply and demand.

Older 2.5" sata drives are manufacturered in lower numbers to meet the lower demand vs. Nvme drives with higher manufacturing numbers to meet high demand. If you have an older computer with only SATA interface, you can't use an nvme drive.

Put simply, things cost what people are willing to pay.

Except that there is a plentiful supply and competition for 2.5" SATA drives among manufacturers, enough to drop the average price of 500gb 2.5" SATA drives into the low to mid $30 range. The performance difference between offerings from lesser known brands and this one is a fraction of the performance difference in NVME offerings, and yet the pricing competition for NVMEs with much greater performance variations has dropped prices their prices into comparable territory. This "sale" price has nothing to do with supply and demand for the product and consumers can reasonably expect the price of this specific offering to fall to where the rest of the market for similar offerings are in short order.

Given how crazy the electronics market has been the last few years, I say if you got the $$, buy it. Because it could double or triple, and Christmas or Black Friday won't get in the way of price-gouging and collaboration of short-term profits.
I don't know why so many downvoted this. The overall sentiment is correct "No one can predict markets, strike when it is right for each buyer". I personally hope this holiday season brings in some pre-pandemic style price drops. However, I am not despirate for anything. If a person is, then don't count on steeper discounts even if that is what seems evident.

Things do look to be easing in this market and possibly we may see some traditional BF price pressure. But.... Who would have ever predicted people would bulk buy toilet paper the way they did either, WTF world. The only certain thing is that Traditional / normal is being redefined as we go now. There is no real prediction until things stabilize for a longer period than it has yet.
