Had to pull the trigger. Never spent this much on an SSD in my life, but gotta stock up when you can. Back to School has this tax free in Florida, too.
In for one, looks like an insane price these days. Should we expect the cancellation notices momentarily?
I'm really surprised it's still showing stock, and at the same price.
My biggest guess is that Amazon might have been waiting on stock for a while, just got it in, but is using the previous prices from when it was last available.
With that said, Amazon (Shipped and Sold by amazon) inventory has generally been very reliable, and I can't remember the last time they cancelled an order that was 'in stock' (I've had them cancel backordered items).
Mine says delivers between 5-10PM tonight, so I'm hoping (and expecting) the best. If anyone gets cancellations, I'm assuming it would first be the people buying multiples
I'd consider this but I still have unopened $50/tb backup drives sitting in a drawer. Prices will eventually fall, maybe not that low again, but to more reasonable levels when I actually need a drive.
Otherwise, if you need one right now or very soon, grab it.
Edit: F it, bought one. SMH.

Good price in current market. Much better than those Chinese brands. That said, these used to be close to 200 pre-AI. I usually went for the Pro drives instead for $20more.
4tb/8tb will be first to fall. So if you can wait until mid-2027, these prices will be normal by then. Need them sooner? Buy what you can get.
