  I wonder what changed, prices were being driven down on SSDs for a while there

  Put a 1tb 850 Evo in our PS4 years ago for a pretty reasonable price. Kind of expected prices to continue to fall back then

    Prices were going down because the consumer market didn’t have as much of a demand for both after covid.
