Way overpriced since there is once again a massive glut of NAND chips. Also Samsung promised us cheap 16-128TB SSDs back in 2016. I'm sure none of these wonderful corporations are colluding to milk the consumer.
Here's the full list of items[newegg.com] that can activate the combo offer for the SN850X. Some items like this PSU also have their own combo offers. Items can activate each other's discounts.
However, I think the best value is to pair the SN850X with the ASRock CL-850G PSU (850W, ATX 3.1, 80+ Gold, Fully Modular)[newegg.com] for $595. I believe the 850W PSU also has a $10 mail-in rebate and a $15 review rebate for an extra $25 off. Those rebates lower the combo price to $570 (excluding taxes).
Apparently you slept through the lecture on oligopoly[wikipedia.org] in your "captialism 101" course. The model of perfect competition you seem to think exists is a reality only in markets where there too many producers or consumers to coordinate on production & prices effectively. There are only 10 SSD module makers[evertiq.com] in the world, the top 5 of which have increased their market share from 59% in 2022 to 72% in 2023. Just duckduck "NAND production cuts"; these companies have repeatedly cut production while increasing ASP (average selling price). That wouldn't happen in a world where production is not coordinated and another producer would simply ramp up production and take more market share.
Ahh, I remember the glory days in Fall, 2023 when you could order a 4TB M.2 from Amazon for $126. And I'm still kicking myself for not buying a 8TB 2.5" SSD when the price was only $300, stupidly thinking that prices would continue to drop forever. The same drives are about twice as expensive now.

They just stockpiling before the Trump tariffs hit don't need to genius to figure this out.

Easy to say. Find us a substantially cheaper 8TB SSD right now, any speed, any make, if you want to actually be useful.
Sure the few producers are clearly collaborating to keep prices high, that is not news to anyone who has been watching prices for the last couple of years, But this seems like a decent price for anyone who wants a big drive before Trump drives the prices even higher in to the stratosphere.

They are actually clearly not collaborating because whoever lowers their price wins all the business. That's capitalism 101. They are providing the best product for the best price and that's all they can do or they will lose market share
