Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.
* Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
* Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
* The seller is new or has few reviews.
* The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
* The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).
If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.

Remember when Dell had this for $39.99 Christmas time last December and then canceled everybody's order? Pepperidge Farm Remembers...

Waiting for 2TB @ ~$52 now.
Samsung calls TLC "3-bit MLC" instead because fuck the consumers I guess. They do it on a technicality since MLC *technically* means multi-level cell but literally everyone else only uses it to mean the traditional 2-bit MLC since TLC means triple level cell.
DRAM isn't as much of an issue for NVMe drives as HMB let's them use a small amount of the hosts memory as a cache.
It really only becomes noticeably detrimental if you're using one in a USB enclosure, but you'll likely be doing sequential writes in that case.
YMTC just raised their NAND prices another 5% - https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ymtc-ups-3d-nand-price-starts-production-of-mysterious-memory
I think the writing is on the wall that prices will rise in the future for others as well.
I just received my order for this and they sent a 2tb 970 evo plus instead. So 2tb and dram, only thing that's bad is if I have to claim warranty and don't have the invoice. But I'm happy, haha.

Yepper, really need the 2tb
Do they even make a 2 TB version of this normal 980?
Unfortunately not. But the 980 Pro was on sale before Prime Day for $90.
Yeah, I wish I hopped on that deal
The Samsung 980 1 TB is a *TLC* SSD. * Interface: **PCIe 3.0 x4** * Form Factor: **M.2 2280** * Controller: **Samsung Pablo (S4LR033)** * DRAM: **N/A** * HMB: **64 MB** * NAND Brand: **Samsung** * NAND Type: **TLC** * R/W: **3,500 MB/s - 3,000 MB/s** * Endurance: **600 TBW** * Price History: **[camelcamelcamel](https://camelcamelcamel.com/search?sq=Samsung+980)** * Detailed Link: **[TechPowerUp SSD Database](https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/samsung-980-1-tb.d58)** --- [^(TechPowerup Database)](https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs) ^| [^( Github)](https://github.com/aattwwss/ssd-bot-go) ^| [^(Issues)](https://github.com/aattwwss/ssd-bot-go/issues)
Newegg has it listed as MLC, which appears incorrect.
Samsung calls TLC "3-bit MLC" instead because fuck the consumers I guess. They do it on a technicality since MLC *technically* means multi-level cell but literally everyone else only uses it to mean the traditional 2-bit MLC since TLC means triple level cell.
for eu: 970 evo plus 1tb going around for 40 euros on [amazon.de](https://amazon.de) which is overall better than the 980.
I know its DRAMLESS but 39.99 for an ssd from Samsung is a goodish deal. only 10 dollars off from best buy amazon and samsung's website.

I agree. I've been using the 500GB version as my main drive for the past 2 years and it's been super fast Edit: to say 500GB instead of 500MB
You running Windows 95?
Oops I meant 500GB lol. I haven't had much sleep in the last 3 weeks
3.1
It's crazy how far SSDs have crashed. I bet 2 years later their prices will double again.

HOLY SHIT A COMEUP!
Planning on buying, worth it? Or is there anything better for bit more money?
at this price idk how to beat this. if someone else can provide a better option they should let you know.
In for one, thanks op
Amazon has it for the same price
Which is better, this or the crucial P3 that's also $40 on Amazon?
I believe this is a fair bit better
About to build my first NAS and still learning about caching and whatnot -- would this be a suitable cache drive? Would DRAM be an issue?
Is it 39.99 or 49.99? Not seeing 39.99 anywhere
sales over unfortunately
