This is good. Been tracking these. Lowest I've ever seen is $170....
However, ebay is flooded with these drives of late so deals are to be had.

After finding that DDR4 deal that everyone thought was mine--your deals are legit son!
I bet these 5 are gone by the time my post is read.
If it triggers the STH effect, then it's a certified good deal.
And all gone! I missed out.

Not a fan, no firmware updates publicly available. Or has this changed?
There will be a lot more deals within the next 6 months. Sadly for sad reasons, US, UK and EU sliding into a depression with heaps of businesses going out of business. Hardware getting dumped on ebay. UK seems ahead, unbelievable what is for sale from there.

Not only that, this should help too
SSD prices could drop by 35% according to a new report
A recent report from TrendForce indicates that there could be big price drops for SSDs in the near future, with more decreases to come.

Was this garbage really necessary?
There is probably some misunderstanding here. I don't see anything particularly controversial in @Stephan 's comment, other than perhaps the hyperbole relating to the global economic downturn.
He is totally right that SSD prices have been coming down recently. Looking forward to more deals, as I missed this one.
He is also totally right that Samsung afaik only makes firmware update files available to OEMs. This is important for some homelabbers, so I appreciate the reminder. Besides, it typically comes up in every other thread on Samsung flash drives.

hey settle down guys we're all friends here.
the ECC UDIMM CDW outlet deal was legend.
This drive is a pretty good value
And yes the Samsung drives usually don't have locatable firmware. Worth mentioning but not a dealbreaker for everybody.

Mate if you rip on someone for being a dik by being a dik it means you are the person you hate the most.
I saw these in August, and wasn't sure if these were too good to be true. I took a chance on one and then they were sold out so I didn't post them. (same seller)
