I doubt if SN550 1TB will ever be below 8kish league anytime in the near future. Last time it was 7-8 months ago. Probably with discount it costed less but it seems remotely impossible for now.

Yeah, below 8K is only with the card discount (on Amazon) - which happened quite often last month. When Appario is selling, it has constantly been at around 8850 of late, so 1K off that is a sweet deal. Should be able to grab this if patient.
Yesterday it was available with a restock date, surprised to see it didn't last even one day. When the time comes I might give in and buy it without the card discount if stock is playing hide and seek. But looks like either FK or Amazon has some card offers going on at different points during any given month.
If someone wants the 970 Evo Plus, it can be bought now for 14K minus HDFC discount from Appario.
But I don't want to spend too much on this since I won't really need it. I will buy a 970 Evo Plus at 11K or less though, which is impossible now lol.
I see myself overspending on the keyboard so better to hold back on the SSD till the next iteration of Gen 4 SSDs become available and affordable at some point next year or later. NAND flash updates are expected this year.
