I paid $199 directly from Samsung at the end of 2023. When they match that, I'm in - again. Anything else is a non-starter for me.

I hear it's hard to get ssd prices back to where they were last year since China has become a regular buyer from what I heard.

I'd love to get it for that price! Here's hoping...

I'd probably take a 2TB one for $130 or less too.

Have you experienced any degradation or disappearing from windows/bios issues? I did the firmware update through Sammy's Magician but the drive would still disappear like once a week. Just switched to full performance mode to see if it makes any difference.

The firmware shows latest (4B2QJXD7), but both Interface (N/A) and NVMe Driver (Unknown) are not being detected. Does anyone know if these matter?

Interesting; I hadn't heard that.

Probably buying for their (and russia's) military I suppose. I know China does make their own nand, but from what I've read it's inferior to what others produce .

Actually no, but that's worrisome so thanks for the tip. I'll have to see what my options are for checking it.

I bought it to use in a gen 3 Dell XPS but could never get it to boot even though it should be compatible. I tried several fresh and complete clones but still no go. The XPS went back to running a 2TB SKH and has been without issue for almost 2 years.

I was so busy with stuff at the end and beginning of the year, but I do think I tried it in an Acer (4th gen) that's running a 2TB 980 Pro. I may try it again just to verify it, but the Acer is running Win 11 (I hate Win 11) so I didn't want to leave it there.

Unfortunately, right now the 990 Pro 4TB is serving as a low use temp external SSD. I plan on putting it into a newer laptop this year if I find one I like and Win 11 ever becomes less of a dumpster fire.

Doubt this has anything to do with China. More likely combination of two primary factors:
1. Semi monopoly by manufacturers, very similar to the oil cartel. Don't know exact numbers but my understanding is that memory chip production is highly concentrated in just a few companies. Wouldn't be surprised if 90% of world output is controlled by 4 or 5 companies. IIRC, it was Samsung in early 2023 started cutting production in order to drive up prices. The other major chip manufacturers fell in line and prices went up 30-40%.

2. Reckless fiscal policy in the US. Conditions were already ripe for inflation as the Covid pandemic ended but fuel was added to the fire by the unfunded spending programs launched at the beginning of the current administration. Over $2 trillion was dumped into the US money supply.

Basic economics. Classic inflation....too many dollars chasing too few goods.
