Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 SSD, 500GB

Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 SSD, 500GB

$83. Is that a good price?

Nope

It’s $177.99 on Amazon or you can get it for $228.67 on Newegg.

Link to the better deal, bruh! Unless you’re scared!

It’s sold out now, but while the price comparison is great, the greater aspect is that this drive is 3 year old technology. Samsung’s current model is the 970 Evo.

When these were new, Samsung warranted this for 3 years or 200 TBW (Terabytes written). As a refurb, it’s unknown how much use these have had already and there’s only a 90 day warranty.

Although quad level, a 1 TB Intel 660p or Crucial p1 can be had brand new for around $90 on sale. Overall effective speed is par and it’s the same 200 TBW for warranty, but it’s for 5 years and this is double the space.
