Already getting downvotes :/ It's $30 less than the previous Frontpage deal. I know it shows temp OOS but it's def worth trying in the morning when they open.

The previous frontpage deal was an abysmally poor value, however a bunch of people who didn't know any better voted it up. That unfortunately happens near constantly, I occasionally try to comment on bad deals that are gaining traction when I'm in the mood to post, but it's a losing battle and it'd be a full time job to address even a fraction of them. It doesn't help that some of the more senior slickdealers take what I call the "shotgun" approach to posting deals, simply posting anything that's meaningfully discounted from its standard price regardless of how terrible of a value it was at said price.

Moving on from that little tangent/rant to the drive in question, the 2tb 990 evo simply isn't that impressive of a ssd, even at $100. It's limited to sequential speeds of 5,000 MB/s / 4,200 MB/s (R/W), has decent but not incredible random 4k performance (falling off at higher queue depths), poor sustained writes, and poor efficiency for a dramless drive. The major upsides are presumed reliability due to being a samsung drive, 5yr warranty from a reputable manufacturer, and the samsung magician software (which is better than that of any other manufacturer). At $100 the 2tb 990evo isn't a bad deal per-se, but other dramless drives such as the msi spatium m482 that occasionally goes on sale at $85 are arguably a better value for $15 less. While I don't think this deal necessarily deserves to be voted down, it's definitely not amazing, and the fact this drive previously went frontpage at $130 is unfortunately just a testament to the ignorance of the people voting.
