X-53mph Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 What is it with Amazon and volatile prices on SSDs? I've been thinking of upgrading my SSD from 250 Samsung EVO to 500GB - I almost upgraded a few weeks back when prices on Samsung drives were around €60, but I missed that. Then this morning I opened Amazon and saw Crucial MX500 for under €50, I started reading some of the reviews by which time it had risen to about €55. I started teaching an hour lesson by the end of which prices were at €60. Now they are up to €65 ... in just over an hour!!!! It's like the bloody stock exchange.

Right now it is $56 in the US for the MX500s. I can imagine the foreign market is a bit different. That drive around $60 is good, you can get it for less or more as it is a limited supply product. They fairly frequently go out of stock with that model. Pretty hefty price swing multiple times in a day, but I'd expect that fluxuation over a week or two from what I've seen historically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
