NVMe prices back on the decline?

[Mercutio]

Looking around a bit.. there seems to be a decent spate of deals in the 2TB range (anything but top of the range looks to be into £100), just starting into 4.

With the dram developments (think it was WD had doubled the capacity on a single chip), is there a chance we're back on the edge of a stock purge/price plunge on "older" drives?

Not something I've followed recently as much as I used to. Anyone a little more on the pulse with it?

Last I saw
They're talking about cutting production again
To inflate the prices
Getting to be a regular occurance
Too much production and prices drop because of
Over supply
So they cut production to artificially raise prices
Anything over 2tb is currently still on the expensive side

Yeah, there were news stories a little while ago that prices were likely to drop around 10%. I haven't seen anything beyond that.

I managed to get a Samsung 990 pro 2tb for £103 a few weeks ago so there are definitely some good deals popping up lately.

Still waiting for 4TB's to drop a bit, £150ish (dram-less QLC level crap, just for bulk storage) is likely the bite point

Waiting for 24TB NVME for £100

Cheapest i noticed is
Kingston nv2 for £179
Not too far off from 150ish

Just been looking at 4tb drives and an external m2 40Gbs enclosure
Best price for a half decent m2 I found
£217 for lexar nm790 4tb
And £70 for enclosure still makes it pretty painful
On the wallet

Think £163 is about the best I seen (usually something like a crucial P3/Kingston/Fanxiang). Won't be long hopefully

Been keeping an eye on prices now we are closer to black friday deals.
Hoping to nab a 2TB SN850X for the £100 area at some point.

Got 2x 4TB Fury Renegade drives for ~£190 each the other day

 

[Firestar_3x]

Not NVME but want some Crucial MX500 4tb SATA SSDS for a server, was £159 last year, hoping for similar again.

Saw that, was tempted
Aiming for a cheap (as chips) 4TB and a top drawer 2TB so wouldn't have QUITE worked out but... yeah. Tempted.

I've got enough 4TBs; I need 8TB 2.5" SATA to come down to consumer level.

 

[Cyber-Mav]

Iv noticed some offers come and go on 2tb drives. Still no 4tb for 150 quid like it was before.
Hopefully this black Friday there be some offers on

Fingers crossed there will be some decent 2TB Samsung 990 Pro offers around. Then I can finally get rid of my spinning rust to what I view as reliable drives.

Lol iv been avoiding Samsung drives since the big firmware fiasco. Want reliability stick to enterprise drives that what I believe

Getting there slowly. October saw some low end 4TB drives at £165 and high end drives at £200.
