It's $9 more at Amazon. I'd recommend paying $9 more to not have to deal with Newegg.
For anyone wondering, HODL is an acronym for "Hold On for Dear Life," so I think the posters above mean do not purchase now because pricing are trending down.

Will hold on to black friday, just bought HP Omen 17, will upgrade the SSD and memory later.
What if Black Friday prices start increasing instead?

Why is this Gen 4 a more reasonable price than Gen 3 P31 Hynix at $122? When will Hynix lower their price to be more reasonable?
Because this 980 pro is easily twice as fast as the p31...

Does Newegg guarantee authenticity? Recent reports say there are folks receiving knockoffs. I think Samsung has an authenticator by serial somewhere on their site.

I have both in 2TB... Not sure I agree....

Agreed. NE went downhill once the chinese bought it and has been picking up speed ever since....

Lowest price I've seen on this SSD
Quote from Adelley :
Lowest but it'll go lower in the near future.

There's always a delay with Samsung to catch up to the lower prices of other ssds
Quote from TekkenLord :
BB had the 1TB 850X for $60 recently, so HODL as well.
The 990 2TB was $145 a few weeks back.

Why would the price on aging technology go up? Unless you think there's going to be another chip shortage? Lol

I have 980 pros and the p41 for a boot drive, which are nearly identical in speed.

I was backing your point up by showing that the better SSD was almost the same price as the best price for the inferior SSD. Lol

I have the 2TB SN850x as well. Perhaps Gen 5 computers will show a real difference, but until then, they just all seem to run together if you know what I mean.

The 990 Pro is gen 5, the 980 pro is gen 4

I havent added the 990 pro because it doesnt add enough speed, it would just add more heat.

I run all 2tb - 980 pros and 970 evo plus as cache drives in my server. I can tell you the 980's are in fact that much faster.

My gaming pc boots off the hynix p41 and extra drives are 980 pro's.

Well, I guess we can say that systems differ and I'm not a gamer. Most of my work is video, and I just don't see a huge difference in day to day stuff. Copy speed is virtually identical regardless of Gen 3 or 4. Many studies have shown that people can't tell the difference between faster/slower Gen 4 devices, and surprisingly they can't tell the difference between Gen 3 and Gen 4, and I can also tell you people don't ever recognize a SATA m.2 vs PCIe drives. Humans are not built to perceive clearly fractions of a second beyond an "intuitive" sense.

BTW - The 990 is Gen 4, not 5. No one has a gen 5 SSDs on the market, especially samsung, who built the 990 to match up to the SN850x, et. al., and possibly to improve the controller. The real shocker about the 990 was that it too was Gen 4 when they had the 980 already. People didn't get it, but the 990 is just an improved 980 if you will...

Manufacturers currently have an oversupply of SSDs and have stopped producing so many to lower supply, hence an eventual increase in price by fall.

I think where you are getting confused is that files can only transfer at the max speed of your slowest bottleneck
