Was at Walmart and this drive is on clearance for $27 (bought one at Walmart just a couple weeks ago on clearance for $40). Seems to be in-store only ($48 online). There were 3 at my store, not sure how widespread this is.

Walmart employees calling others losers. 😂
Anyway, interesting insight into the mentality of a Walmart employee (or at least some Walmart employees).

we were getting $50 per 1tb of flag ship nvme ssd's a few months ago.
yes i know prices are on the rise but no one is forcing you to buy this. not long ago there was a deal for $200 for the 4tb 990 samsung (yes i know prices are being fixed)
they will have sales when they can't sell stock. let them

I am not sure folks are cross-shopping those two categories.

I acquired about 15 Lenovo T470s i7 laptops for free without drives that these will be perfect for (plan to resell them). Not everyone is doing high end gaming or video editing. What you paid a few months ago is not really relevant today.
probably people snagged them at walmart stores and
and now trying to turn a profit.

Seriously though it really depends on your use case. The 500GB drives for $25 would be good for a ZFS special VDEV. [arstechnica.com] Since the special VDEV contains your metadata it is critical that it has as much resiliency as your plain storage VDEVs. I plan on using a 3 way mirror for my special VDEV. I would rather have 3 "slow" NVME GEN 3 drives than one or two "fast" GEN 4 drives.
It is a balance between redundancy, speed, and cost. Three of the 500GB Blue drives will cost a total of $75. And while the writes won't be much to write home about the reads will be ~3x as fast. In a zpool that doesn't have a lot of data changing (video, picture, music storage) the "slow" writes won't be an issue.
While technically a 1 TB GEN 4 drive would be "faster" I can't imagine in what real word scenario for a special VDEV used for media storage it would make a difference to a consumer. So even at $50 I would be paying $150 for a redundant setup. So double the price with no real world benefit.
I get what you are saying about price gouging but everyone has to analyze their own situation.
Putting a three drive NVME special VDEV mirror in front of every zpool for $75 is a pretty good deal. Also keep in mind I am going to have several zpools, so the costs are going to escalate pretty fast. In the end I am going to need no less than twelve NVME drives just for special VDEVs!

The WD Blue 500GB was regular price for me the day this deal was posted. The next day they marked them down.

Unfortunately, if Brickseek is correct on pricing, none of the stores near my have lowered the price on the WD Blue 500GB yet. They are all hovering at $43.
