Still have a few of these unopened from the great Walmart deal a couple years ago - paid around $70 for each. I remember it sold out quickly but Walmart did honor all transactions.

This isn't a good price. Should be around $250.
You mean "I'd like to pay $250 for this drive". We won't see that kind of price for the next 3 years - Google and companies like that will gladly pay prices close to this and they buy EB and PB of storage.
We will not see price reductions until the AI boom is over. For those wanting the pricing of 2-3 years ago - the SSD makers were selling below cost (it's complicated). In addition, no new fabs are under construction - Micron will start building one of three in 2027 (to finish in 2030) - that's the next fab coming.
The cost of a new fab is over $10 billion - so not likely that new companies will get into this space.
Not anymore, SSD pricing in is up 25%+ and continuing to rise due to a NAND shortage and it's expected to get worse
Yea give it a couple more weeks and it will go up again.
Nand shortage and nand makers hiking prices. They have done this several times and caught several times. Yet those slaps on the wrist don't seem to be working, weird.
Another option is the same drive from Walmart via the Capital One shopping portal. The C1 shopping portal is giving some users 15% cash back. After CB it comes out to ~$245 before tax. Not an amazing price for but those days are long gone now with nand prices shooting up. https://www.walmart.com/ip/159549...6345b5054c
