Unless you have a time machine, I fail to see how that matters. For what it's worth, I paid under $240 after CA tax for a 4TB NVMe in July 2024.

I paid $77 for 2TB WD SN770 last year for open box Amazon warehouse during Prime Day, best deal ever, I managed to snatch 6 for a NAS build. Looking back, so glad I pulled the triggers.

When you save $30 on this, how far will that take you in today's economy?

The listing is confusing. Half talks about the GM7000 and the other half the GM7. Keep in mind, even if it is the GM7000 (which has DRAM), it's known to use the infamous Innogrit controller. I'd rather have a DRAM-less drive with a reliable controller.

This ssd is not a good deal it uses a controller (component of the ssd) that can kill itself (ig5236) it is not worth risking it i would rather buy the m482

I have the 4TB version of this drive (GM7000).

I didn't know about the "infamous innogrit controller" when I bought it several years ago. I only learned about it later, and then I did extensive research because I was terrified of my drive failing out of the blue. This was a couple of years ago, but IIRC, my research led to me learning that this does not actually have that infamous controller like so many people parrot, it has a slightly different one that is not prone to random failure. Of course, you should probably do your own research and take anything that people say on the internet with a grain of salt. But those are my two cents. Very happy with mine though, I've not had a problem in the 3ish years I've had it.

That's like saying how much a cup of coffee was before the zombie apocalypse... Everything was cheaper before the whole stupid Ai craze.

Just ignore these "deals" and hope that the Ai bubble burst so hard that the US economy crumbles.

Soo much for not having the infamous innogrit controller that can kill itself 🙂

For PCIe Gen4 2TB w/DRAM the 3 good models at decent price I used alot in the past were the Samsung 990 Pro, Acer GM7000 and WD SN850X.
The Hynix Platinum P41 seems great as well but I have not used them as much. (Mostly put them in laptops given their low power draw)

The Acer GM7000 has a slightly higher Duration rating and much longer Mean Time Between Failure rating and is only ever so slightly slower than the Samsung 990 Pro. While I have had no issue with the controllers they do tend to run hotter.

$280 is acceptable at the moment but nothing special.

Probably super YMMV but the Walmart near me (eastern Raleigh NC) had a bunch of WD 1TB SN7100 on the electronics clearance rack for $140, and some 2TB for $230-250.

I almost posted but then figured I'd get yelled out by a bunch of people who didn't understand what YMMV meant or were just bitter it wasn't them. IMO it was a sucky deal overall since a 1TB should cost $50-60 but by 2026 standards it was actually pretty decent...
