Featured Comments

You know it's funny...when they dropped to $100, people were saying that they should be $90. When they dropped to $90, people said they should be $75. When they dropped to $75, people said they should be $60.

It seems like every time the price drops, it just doesn't drop enough. The number one reason these "should be cheaper" is because "NVMe drives are cheaper or the same price, and NVMe is better than this".

The reason these aren't cheaper is because this is generally the second highest rated 2.5" SSD behind the EVO 870/860. One of the single best performance upgrades for legacy systems that cannot use NVMes. What else are legacy systems going to do? Use an adapter that cannot easily be installed internally?
I remember back in the days I spent $150 for 128gb of SSD and was super excited.
You should wait until it is free. Don't buy now Smilie

Seems like normal price. Or is it a few dollars off? The 2TB version was $91 for the longest time. I'll definitely wait for lower prices. I just don't need an SSD until it becomes irresistible.

I keep waiting for the 2TB to drop to the ā‰ˆ$70 range again so I can have a match for the one I bought at that price (limit 1).

I didn't think it would take this long (or I would have created a different account or whatever to get around the limit) but here we areā€¦

How little dram does this have nowadays? I bought a bunch of new WD Blue 2TB SA510 2.5" on eBay for $48 each way back in June, much better than this deal obviously.

The companies are still wasting their time making 128/256 models. The entire production line needs to be trimmed. 1tb & 2tb models. No one is going to buy the smaller models anymore as their utility is limited. CoD update yesterday took 100gb. Time for manufactures to stop wasting the same material to make these smaller storage drives. $35-$40 & $70-$80 for the 2tb.

The 4tb version is about $200 right now. ($219.99 and $20.50 coupon). Already have one I haven't used much. Thinking of grabbing a second one and using it to run raid 1 on my main pc. The old wd reds I've had for like 8 years are just a tad slow nowadays lol.
