This is probably going to sell out fairly quickly.

I mean, 120/128GB-class SSDs aren't really that popular anymore, when a 120GB BX500 SSD is $20-22, and a 240GB model is $30. Most people choose the 240GB.

But at this price, it might be worth buying a few (limit 3), just to have on hand, either for testing, or for using as a giant flash drive (more dependable than a real flash drive), either with an enclosure (around $6-10), or a USB3-to-SATA6G cable (Startech recommended, on sale sometimes for ~$8).

This is probably a fire-sale, to get rid of remaining stock, as I don't know if Adata wants to produce these any more. The SU630 is their QLC SATA SSD, and I think that one is the replacement for the SU650.

There have been a few reports of reliability issues with these, so read the reviews. I think that these are also DRAM-less, hence the low price.

Still, should be faster than a HDD. Great for upgrading Grandma's old 2010 laptop.

I'm not sure what the difference is between the SU650 (sold at Newegg) and the SU655 (sold at Amazon). Unless it's exactly that, one model sold at Newegg, and one at Amazon.

If anyone knows of any concrete differences between them, please post!

Could be that 'custom part number so can't price match' game that retailers play.
