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.

    In 2016 I bought a 512gb 950pro for £200, not only is it still my boot drive it still has the same windows 10 installation, even though it’s on a completely different motherboard.

    Since that new motherboard has three more M.2 slots than the 2016 platform, I just picked up one of the 970 evos in the OP for £43. It can fill in for my current SATA SSD steam cache, which can in turn take the place of my one remaining HDD and I’ll be free of spinning iron.

    Although… Now I look at it, the 2tb version is less than twice the price…

      Oh, and that 2tb of iron was £87 over ten years ago
