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.

Might be local price fluctuations or some issues with supplies. About 3 years ago I got a 14 TB HC530 for about 450 EUR; now there's the 22 TB HC570 for about the same money and a 20 TB model for about 100 EUR less.

Yeah, who knows… I’m just glad I was able to buy a batch of NAS-optimized 16s at around $220/each :P

$220 is definitely under the regular price for something like this; so you've caught some good prices, then saw the regular prices again later.
