SSD Prices Are Falling Everyday!
With NVMe SSD prices reaching all time lows, picking the right drive can be challenging. Here are some tips I have picked up from my recent shopping experience where I purchased an Intel 670p for $73. Some important things discussed are Gen 3 vs. Gen 4, DRAM vs HMB (Host Memory Buffer) and limited PCIe lanes causing slower speed and disabling SATA ports.
