Quote from SyDiko :
Because it's not actually a good deal. The price is still massively inflated compared to what these drives sold for before the greed shortage.It's just a cheaper inflated price.If you need a 4TB NVMe drive, now is probably the time to buy. If you don't, I'd wait. Storage prices move in cycles, and eventually they'll come back down.
I think you've summed it up nicely.

Sometimes the best deal on something is still a bad deal.

Unless a person is sitting with a project on their workbench that's dead in the water and needs to become functional immediately, it's best to wait a while longer.

I bought a nvme that's a little better than this for $275 a little more than 3 years ago. This is outrageous!

But seriously, it was the 4tb SN850X and it crapped out on me in 3 years so I'm already not a big fan of WD's nvme

The SN850X is actually one of the most reliable drives, but as always, YMMV. Have you RMA'd it as it comes with a 5-year warranty?
As for SN850X's main competitor, don't get me started on it...

QLC NAND is considered to less durable, compared to TLC.

Apart from this, it's an excellent deal.

That's good to know. I guess I just lost the lottery on this one. I haven't tried the RMA process yet but it's on my list of to-dos

no it's not. i got these for 250 1 year ago and now it's only 350 in this massive shortage. 500 would be too expensive.
1 year ago was before the AI inflation kicked in. For the last 5 months, this is a good price for this.

Considering the way prices are if I did not have a 2tb on my ps5 already I'd be jumping on this! I see 399$ online , is there a coupon or similar that makes this cheaper instore?
I rather not play games than give in to these greedy chip companies.

I didn't downvote the post, but I can understand their rational.I wouldn't settle for a DRAM-Less QLC drive even in a time like this. The 4TB SN850X is currently at $599. If you can wait, it should go on sale soon on Amazon's Prime Day.
I paid $550 for my 8TB SN850X less than a year ago.

This timeline hurts my soul... And my wallet.

Isn't it recommended to have a heat sink on it? This doesn't look like it has a heat sink…

Quote from ElatedSpaniel543 :
Wait a second. Not a single person has mentioned they bought this drive for $250 or $150 or whatever a few years ago.

I feel like together, the computer part hunters of Slickdeals ... we've finally reached the final stage of grief. Acceptance.
I mean if it makes you feel better, got my 4TB Samsung 990 Pro for $200 July of last year.
I've reached a better stage... not being afraid to pull the trigger without even knowing the time is right. (evidence, see the guy who posted right before me)

I bought this refurbished for $219.99 from bestbuy (geeksquad certified) last year.

It works well on my steam deck (installed w/ an adapter).

$350 is wild, but I guess this is our new normal.

It's not that we down vote the price, but the state of the market bc of Artificial inflation, the more we give in to these prices, the more permanent they'll remain, this will be the new norm good forward.. I paid under $200 for these a year ago, it's utterly pathetic how the hardware market fell, and the crash is coming soon.
