There's suddenly been deals on high capacity NVMes. Let's hope they oversupplied and the floodgates are about to open to some serious deals 🤓

Comes out to sixty six bucks a gig. Seems fair to me without the price gouge premium for such a large capacity.

$60 per gig would be $480,000 😁

Love seeing the higher capacity drives. 4TB and up is what I'm interested in.

So, for those with experience about these, I one were to purchase one of these, what are the practical use cases?

I know it won't fit in most/any laptop(s), but I'm not even sure it will fit in most common external enclosures. I know it's double sided, but is it thicker? Any other caveats?

They're still too pricey, but I'd like to have a portable 8TB backup drive, and several storage drives too.

I've been using nVMEs as portable storage for three years. (using the ORICO USB SSD enclosures) They do work well, but you have to be very exact about drive removal. (or power off the computer completely and then remove the drive) Faster read/writes than HDDs or SATA SSDs, but not faster than nVME drives installed on your motherboard.
Not using as much now, work blocks those device now. But it was still very reliable. Heat was never an issue.

Since you're asking, I'm assuming you aren't a working professional with photo/video. The practical application is that this drive does indeed fit in SOME laptops and even desktop computers. How much capacity you need will dictate size and cost. Many of us will run these drives as fast, modular external storage/work drives. A lot of computers come with SSD storage for the main drive these days but it's small (256/512gb). To really use the speed that a drive like this can produce you need a Thunderbolt enclosure and corresponding port on your computer. If you plan to only use this drive over the cheaper and slower USB port in a computer, save your money for a cheaper (slower) drive that has the capacity you need.

Of course I just pulled the trigger on the $269 4tb 990 evo plus.

About the same price per TB but this is a better drive.

Part of that requires us to not buy now.

Hold. The. Line.

If anything, I have to thank China here. They burst the bubble with DeepSeek of so many AI hallucinating delusional startup pitches. Which in turn, soaked up all the supply.

YAASSSS!! Hold the line guys!

Edit: remember when storage options doubled every year or two along with other specs? why has that stopped? it seems the typical storage on most laptops/PCs was 1TB 10-15 years ago and hasn't changed much since.

It's 2025 and Apple's still selling $1000+ devices with 128GB (iPhone 16 Pro) or 256GB (Mac Air)! They are really gimping their hardware to coerce users into paying for iCloud subscription.

And rightly so. Nvidia needs to be humbled due to their poor treatment of their original customers - gamers.

I want to see Nvidia so humbled that Jensen Huang stops wearing those ostentatious shiny leather jackets and goes back to his matte black roots.

I'm waiting for a 2TB to drop to $60 used. My current drive shows 0% health but it still works fine.
