It's incredible how much the prices have fallen and that's how it should be. Sure, I bought the 960 close to launch but still the difference is staggering.

The 960 Evo still chugs along albeit it's a new one because a few months after I bought it, I had to RMA it. I guess that's what happens when you are an early adopter. I lost a few hours of work when the original 960 Evo decided to stop working but it also taught me to be more paranoia with backups.

It's amazing seeing 2TB M.2 NVME drives being sold for less than what I bought my original 120GB SATA SSD for.

as the recent proud owner of a 1TB and a 2TB NVME drive I agree whole heartedly.

December 27, 2013 I bought a 250GB 840 EVO for $179.12 December 2, 2022 I bought a 2TB 970 EVO NVME for $166.41 December 5, 2022 I bought a 1TB 970 EVO NVME for $89.99

It's bonkers and its makes my computer happy.
