For people that have banked 10% off Amazon Giftcards from late last year, it comes to ~$307.00. Nice.

No, we won't get 2023 prices ever again. The manufacturers have crunched the numbers on demand and desperation levels and just like Toyota, reduced the manufacturing capacity to start charging more money per unit instead of making more units and lower prices.

      If you have purchased Amazon GC at 10%, this translates a better deal…

        Yup. I paid $307 only with 10% discount on Amazon GC..

        • 10% where?

            @WhyAmICommenting: this deal from November 2024

            many stocked up because maximum order value of $2,500 was per transaction

                @WhyAmICommenting: They ran it for 3 days since a lot of people couldn't buy them on the first day due to banks flagging their payment portal. I bought the max 2500 per day for 3 days lmao

                • @marshmall0w2: Sheesh, really?

                  I bought $500 worth and it took ages to get rid of them, because anything I find on amazon is almost always cheaper somewhere else.
                  I originally got them thinking computer parts, but then ebay had a 20% off sale

                    @outlander: eBay 20OFF sales equate to ~retail price anyway after the prices have been jacked up by the store.

          • @WhyAmICommenting: I loaded up $2000 late last year when the 10% Amazon GC hit. I do it once every year. Makes everything I buy on Amazon basically 10% off on top of any sale price for the next 12-18 months depending on how many 2 min noodles I buy on special.

      Looking around, this is the standard pricing. Hopefully it will go down but if you look at the camelcamelcamel for majority of the SSDs out there, it has been an upward trend.

  • What does Gaius Baltar Tony Foster have to say about this?

  • Damn this thing is 295 just last year, and 275 about 2 years ago

  • Any recommendations for an external M.2 Nvme Ssd Enclosure?

  • Still hodling for the 8tb…

    reduced the manufacturing capacity to start charging more money per unit instead of making more units.

    And this based on what exactly?

    If you as a consumer think that you have ANY impact on the economics of x86 hardware, then you have been terribly mistaken. I also don't see less flash being produced in vendor demand era of: More. Faster. Often.

    We've see what datacentres across the world prepping for Ai did to flash and if frequency ie. Inevitably it frequency of production decreases then the amplitude will most definitely make up for it, because the demand for SSDs is not reducing in any market segment.

    We'll see M. 2NVMe head towards it form-factor maxim, and probably achieve. U2/U3 will do as it does, under the radar and generally catering only to the enterprise.

    Prices will never be the same, now prepare for capacity to never be the same again. Out go the old. In come.the new

      @Dollar Dreamer I also don't think the manufacturers are smelting anything.

    • @paradox 'And this based on what exactly?'

      • Aha, that makes that clearer…

        And along the with it the realisation that hole tool with which to justify oneself - not speaking directly of you but all the misguided sheep citing AI as fact 🙄

          Lexar ANZ rep mentioned NAND flash makers would be reducing capacity back in late 2023.

          2023-12-29: Market Anticipates a 50% Price Surge for NAND Flash in Short-Term

          The industry indicates that due to the lower profitability of NAND Flash compared to DRAM, international giants are actively reducing NAND Flash production.

          • @netsurfer: Marketing grade A. It worked, on you.

              @Dollar Dreamer: Bought the 4TB in 2023 for $255 and that was before all those news on reduced production capacity. The $255 purchase was FOMO, likewise for 1TB Samsung 990 Pro at $59.99 (also FOMO purchase). At the moment, I cannot + vote this deal (doesn't feel right telling people to pay more for this SSD than what I paid for).

              After Lexar ANZ rep informed people about the 'bad news', multiple deals still came up soon after, including a clearance deal on Lexar NM790 SSDs (so $255 was technically not the cheapest ever, but there weren't many at lowest clearance price). When I asked the rep for an explanation (why the retailer was able to offer another discount), the rep was not happy that retailer sold NM790s basically at close to cost price (instead of adding in the usual margin). Also, YMTC did stockpile heaps of NAND chips before end of 2023, yet YMTC wanted to get the same margin like the other NAND flash makers.

        . Whilst it's an item of consideration, I couldn't it to be the whole, nor the end result, so. I. Checked for myself
        "Overall Outlook: The near future for flash memory manufacturers is likely to be dynamic and challenging, but ultimately positive in terms of demand growth. The fundamental drivers of data growth and the increasing reliance on flash memory in key markets are very strong. However, manufacturers will need to navigate intense competition, pricing pressure, geopolitical risks, and technological complexities to remain profitable and successful."

  • Can validate this SSD is the best I have. I have this installed into one of my laptops legion pro 7i (13900hx/4090). I also use Samsung, Micron & Lexar is great value for money comparatively
