I've noticed that while everyone is buzzing about RAM prices, SSD prices have also skyrocketed. For example, a 2TB PNY NVME SSD I bought for $99 last October is now going for $249, and a 2TB SATA SSD I got from Aliexpress for $120 is now over $200. There are still some SSDs available at lower prices, but they're flying off the shelves. Is this the last chance to buy an SSD at a decent price?

I've noticed prices jump by at least 50% in Canada. Stocks are getting low, so it might already be too late to find a great deal. You might want to snag one while you can, just in case!
I managed to find a WD Blue 2TB M.2 at Staples for $160, but they almost charged me $280 at the register. Prices are definitely climbing fast in Canada, so be quick if you see a good deal.
I just bought a 4TB 990 Pro with a heatsink last week. I heard about a price hike, and now that same model jumped $100! If you need it now, I’d say go for it. But if you're not in a rush, waiting for prices to stabilize might be a good idea.
I totally relate! I scored mine for $399 on sale, and now it’s $549 or out of stock everywhere.
It’s tough to say for certain, but if you need an SSD right now, it might be best to buy one soon. Prices are climbing, and if you can afford it, don’t wait too long. Better safe than sorry!
I bought on Black Friday anticipating prices would rise. Just make sure you’re careful with where you buy from, especially sites like Aliexpress. Some drives are not what they claim to be. I’d stick with brand names if possible.
You can find reputable brands on Aliexpress; just check the reviews first. I’ve ordered RAM from there without issues, but always scrutinize the feedback!
Same here! I got mine for $300 a couple of weeks back; now it’s $420! Glad I jumped on it.
