In 2017, I bought a 1TB 960 Evo for 466€. Now, in 2023 the 1TB 970 Evo Plus is 43€.

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.

Seeing this so cheap knowing that my motherboard doesnt have nvme slot 😭

Could just get a pcie to nvme m.2 adapter, think Sabrent does a pretty good one

Though it depends on you having spare pcie slots (I'm not 100% sure but I believe the speeds should still be better than sata but you'd have to check)
