News had been floating around that 2023 was going to be a big year for NVMe. With multiple generations in the market, there is plenty of room now for price tiers to develop between new and old with everything being better than any drive of the past (at least when it comes to transfer speed). Not only that but things are changing, there are plenty of options out there and competition is growing.
So thanks to that, prices start to become a lot more attractive and that is exactly what is happening since this year started (mostly). Not only that but additional talk about prices dropping even further was in the air, although some of those conversations were typically leaked by anonymous contacts, which can be hard to confirm at times (aka, rumors).
It seems that some of these rumors are coming true as we see some of the best prices ever. With NVMe catching up to the price of SATA SSD, and in some cases, comparable to the cost of spinning drives (this is where things get really exciting). If the other rumors are true, it is only going to get better toward the end of the year as other brands join in.
Now, you are able to find 1TB and 2TB drives at the best prices ever on Amazon, including the 1TB Samsung NVMe SSD (970 Evo) for only $55 today (a limited special) or the 2TB version that’s only $129 right now. Tat 1TB is equivalent to many 2TB HDDs in the market right now, which is something most consumers have been patiently waiting for that day to come. Of course, these are limited “deals” which means they could end as soon as the end of the day. But the price is still there and saying a lot for what’s to come this year.
So if you have been waiting for a chance to upgrade your older drives when prices became a little more reasonable, that time has come. Of course, some of these models are one or two generations old. But then again, they are still better than any drive (SATA or HDD) of the past before them.

Thank you Samsung!!! This is what the world needs! A good push to make things more reasonable for the rest of us. even more so now that so many things are moving toward the need of faster data.
