It’s a tough time to be shopping for new PC part. Following the growing investment from tech companies into growing their AI infrastructure, prices of memory and storage have been in a chokehold. Just since the start of 2026, we’ve seen SSD prices reach as high as three or even four times the levels they were at just one year ago. The unfortunate truth is this trend may very well continue over the next couple of years, so even though prices are high at the moment, this may still end up being the lowest they will reach for awhile.

If your require more or less than that 1TB metric, the Kingsont NV3 SSD is available in other sizes. Right now, accounting for discounts, you can grab the 500GB model for an even $100, the 2TB model for $280, and the 4TB model for $500.
