If you read our reviews on the new m2 970 EVO and 970 PRO SSD series, you will have noticed I mentioned in both reviews that I find pricing too high, really high even. Good news, Samsung has lowered its prices, at least in USD.
Both the 970 EVO and PRO SSDs (M2) are now listing lower in price as Anandtech spotted, Samsung's 970 EVO does (prices in USD):
Samsung 970 EVO (review here)
- $109.99 for the 250 GB model = 44 cents per GB
- $199 for 500 GB = 40 cents per GB
- $399 for its 1 TB = 40 cents per GB
- $799 for 2 TB = 40 cents per GB
Samsung 970 PRO (review here)
The 970 PRO I was complaining about the most, these now also are a notch cheaper, albeit I should not use the word cheap here.
- $249.99 for the 512 GB = 49 cents per GB
- $499.99 for 1024GB = 49 cents per GB
Depending on how you look at prices, that is up to roughly 25% less for the EVO series, and anything from 5 to 13% on the PRO models. We'll have to wait and see how this pans out in the EU and Asia pricing wise though. Both models start selling and will be available in good volume, starting today.
Samsung lowers prices for 970 EVO and PRO SSD considerably
