Is now the time to buy SSDs?

you only buy if you need a SSD

or you don't because the prices are ridiculous. They look reasonable now. Have they bottomed out?

Since ssds are trending down "now" is always the best time to buy

never catch a falling knife

This

but I need one

then get a 1TB one

970 evo 1tb is more than twice the price

ssds likely won't hit rock bottom for a few more months, and after this, we will likely see mass storage ssds and performance ssds till they figure out how to make writing to a q cell faster.

then get whatever's second-cheapest

I got some 480GB SSDs for $50 a piece. I'm happy. Some no-name Chinese company, so we'll see though.

whatever happened to the nand shortage or whatever the fuck was inflating their prices like a couple years ago?

enjoy your botnet chink data-cloneware.

Are my SSDs going to connect to the web and transfer my files to China?

There's a big chance of some hidden malware pre-installed from the factory running in the background which periodically collects your files and sends it to some sperg in China
I'm kidding, but it is possible.

Hm, any way to wipe the malware off the drives?

Good advise. I bought a 240GB version from some no name chink shit too, its broken. Dead from package. Had to RMA it.

Mine was Dierya brand. Still building the PC, so we'll see.

No hard drives are more worth it.

Defrag it

Jesus. How much fucking porn do you have?
Nobody needs more than a 128GB SSD.

a few things
1) the ramped up supply
2) the processes got better increasing yield and density driving cost per gb down
3) a few years back one of the players got a deal for something better than samsung had patents for but they fucked up so goddamn bad the patent holder told them to go fuck themselves and opened the patent to everyone, so those lines coming online and offering high density and performance

now you have quad state shit that will further drive cost per gb down, and if it doubles the size, it will more or less be a lifespan wash with current nand.
