I put a bit of work into this last night, as I'm building a new (mid-range) PC. I figured it might be useful to someone else in the market for value-priced, high(ish)-performance M.2 drives. (Sorry about the formatting, BBCode is hard to work with - just copy+paste into Excel/Sheets.)

2WD Black SN850X73006350$139.99$70.00Amazon

Probably easier to scrub diskprices.com, but I was just doing a bunch of grinding through Amazon & Newegg. While I was doing so, I missed out on the 1TB SN850X for $55.... (I went Solidigm, 1TB - will grab a 2TB for games later.)

Hope someone finds it useful. (Prices change by the minute, YMMV, etc.)

Nice job, but as you said, drive prices are changing daily, or hourly in some cases :)

And unfortunately, with primoZon day (and other sales) nearly upon us, the fluctuations are bound to happen even more frequently....

So if you are in the market for m.2's, you just have to be glued to your computer for most of the day every day for the next 10 days or so....

Sure, but how much money do you expect to save? What about the value of your time? Do you need more storage? There is still a place for those noisy, heavy HDDs.
