Question Samsung 360 EVO price??

[noonin]

I have a Dell Latitude E6530 and the OEM drive, a 500GB Seagate Hybrid is pretty full, and occasionally the computer doesn't find it. Thinking it's time to pop an SSD in. I am noticing the older Samsung 850 EVO is TWICE the price of the newer 860 EVO. WTH? I understand sometimes a newer product CAN be just as good or better but cheaper due to newer technology, but wouldn't they discount the 850s to get rid of old stock? It's selling at a PREMIUM! Is there something "classic" about the 850 that make it actually better than the 860?

The 850 was made in the day 2014 when the ssd went for $724.00! So it still a premium price because it cost a lot to produce it then. The 860 is only a year old and cost a lot less to produce. The 860 is a better product go with that.

The only reason its high is because someone hasn't bothered changing price because it's not made anymore, or they are insane.
Get whatever one you can afford
