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.

What's the catch?

I mean is it getting cheaper because SSDs generally have lower life expectancy?

That's good to see. :) What's a good and reliable brand/model to look out for? I don't trust many of those unknown (to me at least) manufacturers with the cheapest prices.

Puts a tear to my eye. My laptop still has a 256gb m.2 SSD as its main drive because everything else was too expensive at the time.

I feel like you paid a lot for that SSD, I think I bought 1TB for 150€ at about that time. Still, prices now are great

Just made a new build, 6 tb of Evo was less than $300. Prices are great at the moment
