There’s really no need to make it personal.

Also, 2TB for 160 in 2023 doesn’t sound like a great deal.

I bought a number of them for $200 each last year, so compared to that and considering these are still among top of the line as SSDs go: Yes, I think they are great deals. $40 might not sound like much, but it is in quantities.

The price could get even lower and that would make for an even greater deal too, of course.

And if anyone thinks it's just the Samsung 980 PRO, other brands with products at a similar quality tier are priced likewise: The 2TB Crucial P5 Plus for $132 USD[1][2] and the 2TB Western Digital SN850X for $160[3].

It’s not a bad deal, I just meant that it’s not so good that you need to ask someone what they are smoking when they are hoping for prices to drop.
How it does not?

A few years ago Ive been purchasing 256GB for 40? or so USD
