So currently I have the old Samsung 850 evo 240gb ssd, but TeamGroup has a 480gb ssd for $55 on sale. I would like to get some feedback on this. Should I go after this deal or wait 2 weeks for Newegg to put on another deal? Mind you that I got my Samsung from Newegg during Black Friday last year.
 
Save up a bit and buy an NVMe Drive.

If your motherboard supports it :P I want one pretty bad but 6 year old motherboards don't quite cut it anymore..

P pillar I'm seeing a LOT of reviews about them dying in less than a year. I wouldn't do it, personally. I'm seeing the Samsung ones go on the sale frequently lately.
 
Yep, also I just got an email from BFads where eBay is already starting deals on several ssds. Best Buy is offering a Sandisk 512gb ssd for $70 in store. Im trying to figure out how eBay will honor their price matching deal since BFads has just announced it. Right now, my eye is on that Sandisk ssd since its technically just over double the storage of my current one, especially for around the same price as I paid for my current 240gb. Now eBay has an HP one with similar space for $5 less, but I can definitely hold out til Black Friday to see what happens.
 
Samsung's 500GB SSD is on sale for $80 I saw. I expect BF sales to be between $65-85 on that. Just imagine a 1TB drive for $140 now, or a 1TB NVMe for like $180... I think I got another SSD bay on my case available...
 
So now that pretty much all the big names when it comes to pc hardware have produced their ads, what do you guys think has the best overall deal on ssds? I will probably go after the Crucial 500gb ssd for $73 at Newegg. Mind you that the only reason im going this direction is because im a college student & need to save where I can until my scholarship entries get approved.
 
News alert: both Newegg & Amazon have the Samsung 860 Evo 500gb ssd for $73. Even though my mom has the prime membership, I still will gladly give Newegg my $ as a slap in the face to my boss.

NewEgg is also really good on customer service.

But I would still hold out until cyber monday, just to see if anyone local is running a store deal where you could price match and then take another 33% off because black friday.
 
If you ask me, anything related to Samsung into SSD's is A+ quality, so I'd stick with them. (I am currently using one, 500GB but planning to upgrade soon)
