Great drive! I use the 2TB version to offload and run my PS4 games on my PS5. No issues whatsoever.

I have a 2tb and 4tb of these drives and love them! I paid $10 more from Amazon about 3 months ago for the 4tb version.

I have a feeling they will cut production and drive SSD prices back up by 2024.

You are absolutely right, things like this happened before. A big fast drop then creep up later.

All the DRAM/NAND makers, Samsung/Micron/Hynix are losing money with current pricing. So they are cutting production a lot to stabilize, it's just their inventory and channel inventory have not been cleared yet. I'd say, price will go up a bit no later than September.

Does anyone know what the performance difference is like between the 4gb vs. 2gb versions for Macbook use (GUID Partition Table + APFS)?

Asking because the T7 SSD is popular among video editors given its performance. From what I've additionally gathered, SSD capability does matter when working with large files in Final Cut Pro X (even when paired with an M1 or M2 Macbook).

There should be much, if any, performance difference between the two. The limiting factor is the USB speed.

You're forgetting the bigger trend of tech advances, making it cheaper to store more data per square inch. The overarching trend is price falls.
This specific model has an older i/o interface that is holding back the memory from reaching its full potential. Samsung is probably introducing a higher speed 2x2 model soon, so they are clearing this one out. If you check their competition, they are mostly 2000 MBps drives, using the new interface.

You could also pick up a Crucial P3 4TB right now for $190 and get an enclosure for the same or cheaper total price.

If things are simple as you say... Remember how long the hdd makers managed to keep hdd price at ~$30/TB despite the tremendous leap in the capacity? The overall pricing trend is down, that does not conflict with the fact that most of the time, storage price remains static. The NAND price always creep up somewhat after fast drop.
