Dollar also lost some value, gold wise it is cheaper than before.

Quote from Slick_Drone :
If you write 50GB every single day it would take 49 years to hit 900TBW. I'm fairly certain after 49 years we will not be using 2TB drives anymore.

Datapoint: I bought this same drive from BestBuy by PMing Walmart on November 9th. So in 20 days it went up 20%.

Writing 50GB a day is nothing in many use cases. Yes, it's fine to store your steam library or windows drive. And for light word processing, that's fine

But a 2-3 days of photos for me is easily 200GB+, as RAW files can range from 60-100MB easily now. That's just for photography. For videographers multiple TB is pretty common. Certain programs will also use will write huge amounts of data in a scratch file when running jobs, and it can be invisible to the user.

Yes, prices will continue to rise in the coming months, the AI frenzy seems to be only accelerating

The prices on storage and RAM has gone insane. I bought a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro last year for less than this.

You think someone doing "light word processing" is writing 50gb every single day? Yeah, no.

When you're adding new photos to a storage drive, you do it every day? Including Saturday and Sunday and every Holiday? Hmm, ok, so if you were to theoretically write 250gb every single day, it would still take almost 10 years to hit 900 tbw.

Point being, for 99% of regular users who will not be editing 8k videos every single day, this will far outlast its 5 year warranty. 900 tbw is a great endurance rating for a drive in this tier.

Also saw the 1 TB version for $66, is that a good deal as well?
Where are you seeing 1TB for $66? The 500GB version is $60 everywhere. That'd be a better price than I've seen in the last year.

Yes, and could rise another 20% in 2026.

Out of stock for me for shipping now, but was the same link as the OP. Still have an in store pick up option.

Just saw this same card, but the 1TB version, at Walmart for about $75. 2TB seems like a good deal for the price

I made no comment as to whether it is a good or bad endurance level for this price point. Just posting the stats and NAND type. It is perfectly fine for the casual use this drive is marketed for, although higher-tier drives used to be available for this price. You are the one who presumed I was making a value judgment.

However by purely counting files written, you are severely underestimating the true write wear a SSD undergoes for anything that isn't light usage or archival purposes. Basic photo and video editing can put an enormous amount of write wear as scratch disk even if the input and output are not large. Computational tasks often require a scratch file can rapidly incur lots of wear.These are all relatively well-known effects,so I'm surprised that someone of your seeming technical background was unaware of them.

Even basic content streaming can easily exceed 100s of GB in a day, but this is unlikely to be enough to cause drive failure.

Someone else already posted the walmart link, and here's the slickdeals link for that one:

https://slickdeals.net/f/18853288-western-digital-wd-blue-sn5000-1tb-nvme-ssd-66-walmart

I've seen it (claim to) come into stock a couple of times at one of my local stores, but still haven't been able to actually get one (yet).

Edit: I eventually managed to get one.

Great find OP.

Am I correct in thinking because it is dram-less it is probably not good to replace an Intel Optane ssd drive in a 2-in-1 with a i7u and only 16Gb of ram? The optane drive is slowing to a crawl on 3 and 4th writes and reads in tests. What sucks is both the 2Tb and 1Tb are in stock at my local Walmart.
