Team Group CX2 2.5" 1TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) T253X6001T0C101 $67.99

UNDER $70, for a 1TB SATA 2.5" SSD. Things are getting good!

That said, these could be DRAM-less, which wouldn't be so good. Hard to say.

I just bought a few Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSDs for $103.xx the other week, along with 5x of the 480GB CX-series 2.5" SATA SSDs for ~$40 ea.

Crucial made an announcement about 100+TB drives; speculation is soon we will see 10T and 20T consumer drives. Now we just need to get them down to $70

I got a couple at that price at Newegg recently. Didn't see it elsewhere in stock. Not the Plus version, which is the prevalent one now but reviews indicate the difference isn't worth the extra $$$ for the Plus version, IIRC an extra $20.

Yeah, those are definitely DRAMless.

Don't know; wouldn't touch a ps4 with a 1000 mile pole. Games were meant to be played with kb/m or not played at all.

Racing games, fighting games, basically all other games besides fps and rts?

I was just talking about and posting Star Wars pics in discord, and then I see this thread again...And I thought, when are SSDs ever cheap? I rarely ever see more than 2 at a time...

 

[you2]

They are suppose to drop significantly q1 2021 due to over supply of nand; a few more months and those 20TB drives will be $10 !!!!

I think that a smoking deal for a 980 PRO, even tho they are now QLC.

 

[Shmee]

I thought the 980 Pro was TLC?

 

[VirtualLarry]

I don't have a link handy, but the Samsung EVO 860 2TB TLC V-NAND SATA 2.5" SSD was $200-something earlier tonight @ Newegg.
