So according to wccftech, SSD prices are supposed to bottom out in the first quarter of this year:

If it's true, then this may be the best price for a while. For $40 more you get 10X the performance of the Crucial MX500 SATA SSD which is currently $209.99. I'm picking it up for some long term storage.

Definitely not, but I'm using WD SN 850X's for my C-Drive and primary working storage drive. I'm using this for secondary storage. I can't see the logic in getting the SATA MX500 (which is Front Page) for $209 when you can get this for $249.99 unless you are really cash strapped or don't have an available M.2 NVMe slot.

FYI: "SSD Endurance: 800 terabytes" - this is by far the lowest number I've seen for 4TB drive. Something is fishy about this drive.

I also seen reports in another thread about crucial SSDs dropping performance enormously once DRAM cache is used up. Like: below spinning drive speeds, which I find hard to believe, but... If anyone knows whether this is the case with this specific model, can you please chime in
