There really has been a massive dropping in pricing for computer hard drives. I remember back in 2014 I bought a first of it’s kind, top of the line 1 TB Saumsung 850 Pro SSD for around $600. A ridiculous price, but i’m actually still using that drive as my daily driver in my desktop.

Just a few weeks ago I was doing an upgrade on a Dell laptop and I purchased a 1 TB Crucial m.2 NVME SSD for $140. NVME SSD’s are like 4-5 times faster than regular SSD’s. But in all honesty, once you go SSD, you can never really go back.

1TB SSD prices fall over 50% since 2018
