Good stuff. I regret buying so many 1tb when it was at $108 a few years ago because even then I thought that was cool.

Don't buy it. Wait for it to go lower! If no one buys, they will lower the price even more to make more sales.

We're only saving $12 from this "sale" according to its regular price. $80-90 would be a better deal.

Yeah but, 1 year ago it was $200 with a few short drops to $150 here and there. Although it may only be a recent sale of $12 off, it has dropped nearly $100 in a matter of months.

Will it go lower? Maybe, but many manufacturers are already reducing their production to drive the prices back up. There's no guarantee that prices will continue to drop. That said there is also no guarantee that prices will increase either.

This is a historically good price for this drive.

It was at that inflated price 1 year ago because of the chip shortage and consumer demand. Gen 3 is old tech, the price should be much lower. Maybe the summer may hold better prices.

It's a good price for this drive because it is now an old gen3 model. Some of that stuff would hold some weight if it was still the latest thing but it no longer is.

That said, I'm sure it'll fluctuate up or down a few bucks, but doubt it will get significantly cheaper. Even cheap low end 2TB are sitting around $85-100, and I doubt you'll see a performance model like this undercutting those, even if it is an outgoing model.

I remember looking at 2.5" SSDs pre-2019, and 500GB would set you back about $100-$120. I didn't even look at 1TB because they were out of my price range. NVMes were out then as well, so 2.5" SATA was already old tech.

2.5" SSDs have plummeted since then, and it looks like this drive has followed that pattern too.

Now, I haven't followed NVMe news too closely because my laptop doesn't support them, but isn't this still a highly desired NVMe for laptops because of its higher efficiency when compared to other Gen 3 and 4 NVMes? Especially, since real world performance doesn't show a noticable difference in speed between Gen 3 and Gen 4.

Looking at these factors, I would argue that this drive is priced at a discount and not a "back to normal" price. Again, it may go a bit lower, but I personally expect to see it increase as more tech companies follow Apple's and Intel's lead in reduced manufacturing.

This was 121 front page a month or so ago I believe... Love that SSD prices are what HDDs were 10 years ago!

Just a few months ago this is what you paid for the 1TB model 🤔

If you have microcenter nearby, get this. Made by same company, same drive, better firmware, but $28 cheaper

Not even close to the same drive. They don't have the same controller, configuration, or NAND.

You 100% sure they're the same drive? The SK hynix Gold P31's are TLC and this says it's QLC. I thought SK hynix had their own manufacturing as well.

I see that the two companies have collaborated in the past to bring SK hynix's tech to Solidigm's products, but these still look pretty different on paper

I had the 1tb version of this drive that I bought a couple years ago from SD on sale, although I can't remember how much it cost back then. I sold that drive with my old laptop though and bought the 2.5" SSD 1tb version for $70 a while back as a slave drive. This 2TB would pair well with it, only I would have to figure out how to clone my current M.2 nvme stock drive. I think I may wait on this one, since I still have a bit of space left.
