Just a heads up that a certain behemoth online sales company have the MSI Spatium M470 Pro 1TB nvme drives for 62 quid odds, brand new. Two per customer limit, ive got mine, delivered and fitted this afternoon working well and great upgrade over my soldigm 512gb oem drive in my work laptop.

Showing as £169 for me. Unless I got the wrong company.
not much of a profit looking at prices on the bayMaybe i could sell it at a profit?
pcie 4 drives are about £80/gb used
That's £81,920, think I'll sell mine
Probably tomorrow now I have bought loads of stuff to upgrade my PC
whoops i meant £80/tbThat's £81,920, think I'll sell mine
welcome to 1999 if it's £80 per gb looooooool
Haha! Always happens to me too!Probably tomorrow now I have bought loads of stuff to upgrade my PC
What this situation has done is to make me more wary of just having cheap SSD storage that was capable of holding what I basically wanted.
Our media is still on a DAS with mechanical drives.
But I no longer have so many games installed from Steam etc as I once did, saving on a drive or two.
Especially with a !Gb internet connection to download them with.

i wouldn't pay extra for a dram cache nowadays. for the vast majority of users ther wouldn't be any appreciable benefits
it's not 2025 where the cost difference was negligible and that extra tenner or so was a drop in the ocean
Awww its nice to have dreams
Overclockers seem to be the cheapest at the moment at £149.99 for that drive it was probably a misprice the work experience kid just forgot to stick the 1 in front of the 62 lol
Still there £62.57 with buying restricted to two.
Sooner than later, it's actually quite sad now. Just upgrading anything costs a kidney.
Only you seem to be able to find it.
I got told off for being too specific but can send a screenshot, it seems locked to northern ireland addresses, if you add one just to test then look at the part itll show up because once I set it as one of my office addresses in Evesham it disappeared from being available at that price.
Yeah seems SSD prices are normalising a bit. Still a bit pricey but no longer in the phase where I’m praying nightly none of my 4Tb drives fail
What has been both pleasing and annoying is finding a new branded 4TB SSD for around £280 or so.
Noting how it had gone up closer to £500 and now returned to the price that I decided to buy it at. No where near as cheap as the Samsung 870 SSD at less that £180, but still in these days not too bad a price to pay.
Considering how the market is shaping, everything seemingly costing more, I do wonder how such things can occur..? To go from £500 to back to around £280 and yet those global demands and shortages etc are sill around, being told that almost daily.
I'm not complaining of being able to buy a 4TB SSD at such a price but to drop as it did makes me wonder about some of these inflated prices.
