Intel 535 at Newegg, 480Gb for $139.99.
Congratulation to SanDisk. Finally one company proves that you can be humane and sane for customers. Will buy the $200 960GB.
Samsung, a major disappointment. Insane prices for customers who want to build a computer in 2016 with new compatible parts (PCIe M.2, NVMe). Very sad day for their reputation.
Hopes that all the companies in 2016 will walk the same path taken by SanDisk and we can finally buy a quality storage in larger quantities without selling a kidney.
The V3OO & S60, birds of a feather for the rogues gallery of shame.
