It was $75 last year. Yet $115 is considered "good price" now, This kind of price manipulation from SSD manufacturers is appalling…
Agreed. Wish I would have bought more Samsung 980s 2tb when they were less than $100 last year.

I am repeatedly punching myself in the nuts for not buying the 970 Evo Plus 2TB for $79.99 during Amazons' Prime day last year...
I was thinking of getting TWO!
Two of them! EEK!laugh out loudLMAO

Plus, the Crucial 4TB version of P3 was $159.99 last year... just several months ago.

Good for PS5?
By Sony's guidelines, no.

But there's a common belief that Sony estimated high on their guidelines for future proofing, and that drives like this would be good enough right now.

Good price for an NVMe, but just a reminder that this is the older and slower PCIe 3.0 drive. Currently 4.0 is the mainstream and 5.0 drives are already available in the market. For normal scenarios like desktop gaming, you will likely not noticing any difference. In fact, a SATA SSD is good enough for PC gaming. However, if you are planning to do one of the following, you may want to consider a PCIe 4.0 drive:
1. Video editing (to save time when moving large files and writing videos to disk)
2. Use it on a laptop (4.0 is much more energy-efficient, so it can prolong your battery life).

As an option, Team Group MP44 2TB is currently priced at $123 on Amazon. With that you get faster speed, more power efficiency, more durable SLC chips and newer driver. Again, SATA drive is good enough if you just want to do PC gaming on a desktop.

is 970 Evo Plus better that this one? I just ordered a used laptop with PCIe 3.0 support and planning to upgrade it. Sorry I am a noob.

There are no consumer SSDs on the market that use SLC NAND and haven't been for a long time. The MP44 is TLC at best. I agree with the comment about SATA drives being good enough for most uses.

I said repeatedly last year that SSD price will go up cuz the makers are losing big bucks - and cutting production like crazy. Yet some folks just don't believe - thinking electronics always go down. LoL

Bought 10+ various 2TB SSDs (sata/nvme/portable) last year - good for a few years Smilie The best deal I think is a 1TB one - p5 plus 1TB for $30 from crucial.com.

I'm confused, in the title it says gen 4, on the page at Best Buy it says PCIe Gen 4 as well and when looking up the drive on Crucial's site says it too. Where are you getting it's PCIe 3.0?

Yeah...There was too much supply last year, so the prices fell really hard. But knowing that they can get that low, I think I am going to keep waiting. We will likely see some good sales again around Prime Day or BF.
