This seems a bit expensive considering the 980 Pro NVMe is the same price, albeit a different connection.

Looks like the 2TB is the only size that dropped in price today. I'm sure the rest are coming.

Yep. Still have several 500GB NVME SSD's I haven't installed. Not even sure if they're worth using for operating system boot drives, as you're limited by number of slots on hard drive.

These are nice because it's SATA and can have however many of them without an issue.

4TB has been that price for at least a week now. I would have missed the 2TB price change had I not had it sitting in my cart already and slept on it haha.

1. Different use case. In my case, my nvme slots are full, but I have SATA to spare. Different data for each storage option.

2. This is pretty much the best SATA SSD you can get, at least on paper, and the 2TB is now cheaper than many others in its class that are inferior, again on paper.

I know that's why I said different connection. I'm just talking about the value of this drive.

You're technically often still limited on how many SATA drives you can have installed. Often when either the bottom PCIe slot is occupied or the bottom m.2 slot is occupied, the number of available SATA lanes is cut down. It's rare that all the slots/SATA are able to be fully utilized. What gets limited in which configuration depends on the motherboard manufacturer and how many lanes the CPU is capable of.

Was about to make that point. If you have pcie lanes to spare wittout bottlenecked configs, then you're just limited by the physical amount of ports you have. However, that's usually the case for workstation/enterprise-grade motherboards and CPU, and that's more of an exception, not the rule.

The value is that these fit my PS4 while nvme drive is definitely better, it won't fit. There will be a point where the cost to manufacture and ship this type of drive will flatten, hopefully this isn't it and more drops to go
