It's incredible how much the prices have fallen and that's how it should be. Sure, I bought the 960 close to launch but still the difference is staggering.

The 960 Evo still chugs along albeit it's a new one because a few months after I bought it, I had to RMA it. I guess that's what happens when you are an early adopter. I lost a few hours of work when the original 960 Evo decided to stop working but it also taught me to be more paranoia with backups.

It's wild how cheap SSDs and ram are right now. It's so tempting to upgrade both on my main PC.

Mainly my current setup is pretty decent and a meaningful upgrade would be a few hundred dollars even at current amazing prices.

With that said, I have taken advantage of the amazing prices in my homelab.

32 gb ram and 1tb Samsung 980 Evo gen 4 nvme for $120 is insanity compared to like 2 years ago.

Doing it on Black Friday is even more tempting
