SAMSUNG 990 PRO 2TB

[Easto]

Newegg has these for $133.49 and that's about the lowest I've seen them in a long while. They usually seem to drift between $169 / $159 / $149. I don't think they were this low even during the last black Friday sales.

Here's something weird about the Newegg sale... The have the 4tb drive for sale at $319. But they have the same 4tb drive with a heatsink for $259. Do you think that's a misprint?

Hemm, Amazon even has the Samsung Evo Plus 4TB for $199 (the version without DRAM). Very tempting, heh

Ordered another 2TB Samsung 990 Pro. I use those for OS drives in the SG servers actually (with 1u low-profile PCIE riser cards), 2 or 3 SSDs in Raid1 for redundancy, they've been rock-solid even if they're not "Enterprise" drives.

Edit: cancelled, went for 4TB

The heatsink 4tb 990 Pro is at $259 (both Newegg and Amazon), not a misprint at all. I guess they have more in stock and trying to move them. Cancelled my 2tb order and changed to the 4tb with heatsink

Received the 4tb this morning, that was quick. Seems price went up already to $308 today, thanks for the heads up.

The 1tb went back up to $159. From $133 to $159, amazing. I hope this is an indication that prices may drop considerably for Black Friday.

The 2tb 990 pro is now back up to $179.... ouch! It looks like a lot of prices have taken a BIG jump in the last week. I should have scooped of a handful of them at $133 when I had the chance. I doubt we'll see that price again.

[Philip]

They will likely have some deals around Black Friday I imagine.

[Easto]

WOW! That was fast. Newegg raised the price $10 over night. It is now $189. Yikes.

[Philip]

Samsung does that... It is the same price on Amazon. The heatsink version of 2tb 990 Pro is $155 on Amazon today.

Back in the day when I was buying computer stuff I would use Camel/Camel to keep track of the prices but it got too clunky and I deleted it. I need something good to track prices.

https://pcpartpicker.com/ - There is a decent histogram of prices, once you drill down to the particular part you want...

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ - they have some price charts, price history, and value charts (performance / price) for CPUs, Video Cards, etc.
