Team Group CX2 2.5" 1TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) T253X6001T0C101 $67.99


UNDER $70, for a 1TB SATA 2.5" SSD. Things are getting good!

That said, these could be DRAM-less, which wouldn't be so good. Hard to say.

I just bought a few Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSDs for $103.xx the other week, along with 5x of the 480GB CX-series 2.5" SATA SSDs for ~$40 ea.
 
Crucial made an announcement about 100+TB drives; speculation is soon we will see 10T and 20T consumer drives. Now we just need to get them down to $70 😉
 
This is a rip off from slickdeals but a lot places have the 970 evo 1tb for $150 (nvme m.2 version):
(other places include bhphoto, adorama, bestbuy.
I got a couple at that price at Newegg recently. Didn't see it elsewhere in stock. Not the Plus version, which is the prevalent one now but reviews indicate the difference isn't worth the extra $$$ for the Plus version, IIRC an extra $20.

Yeah, those are definitely DRAMless.
 
Just remember not all ssd implemented around qlc are equivalent.

qlc is crappppppp
thanks intel , i dint chose this crap since it came with my laptop but seeing the real world results after 5 months performance is at 31 mbps for an 8 gb folder
8 year old ssd sata is 3 times faster
 
ripped from slickdeals - 8TB drive $750; I linked b&h but it can be found for that price at all the usual places (newegg, amazon, ...)

 
They are suppose to drop significantly q1 2021 due to over supply of nand; a few more months and those 20TB drives will be $10 !!!!
