Care to explain that understanding you have and the community lacks?

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

AI happened. It requires an immense amount of RAM and storage for data centers.
Prices were going down because the consumer market didn’t have as much of a demand for both after covid.

Well. I just FOMO ordered a SATA SSD. Thanks, OP.
Mostly because I got 2x64Gb sticks, 2 months before they shot up to nearly 4X the price!

I got an old Nitro 5 with a rickity old 500gig hard drive. Will a Crucial BX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD be a good Christmas present for it?

If you need SATA SSDs you are not a home user.
Just use a HDD for your bulk needs and a SSD m2.

A SATA SSD is a good way to speed up an aging machine, one without M2 slot. But glad to know I qualify as a professional user.

You could still stick an NVMe drive on an older system as a secondary drive, eg. as a /home drive if you’re running Linux on it, by sticking it on a riser card, although you’d still need to boot off a SATA drive, and you’d take up one of your expansion slots doing that.

M2 slots are standard for more than a decade.

I needed a SATA SSD for my raspberry pi 4 connected via usb3.
I am a home user.

Fair point. What the fuck are you doing with it?

Motherboards have limited M.2 slots though. I can add more SATA SSDs to easily expand my steam library - or even mix SSDs and HDDs in a cursed LVM.

Three years ago, I replaced a failing SATA SSD in my personal laptop with a new SATA SSD. That laptop had plenty of power, and I’d still be using it today if the keyboard still worked, and the screen hinges weren’t cracked. It had no NVME slots.
