The claims, and what is behind them
The paragraph below is Amazon’s own sales copy. We keep it quoted and set apart rather than folded into our text, because marketing prose and a description are not the same thing, and because what it leaves out is as useful as what it claims.

What the number is worth
That puts it in the top quarter of everything we track. A cut this size usually means the retailer is clearing stock rather than trimming a margin, which also means it tends not to last.
One caveat we will not paper over: this is measured against Amazon’s own listed price, not against the lowest figure the product has ever carried. Our record of this listing starts on 18 August 2026, so it is a comparison, not a history.
The listing carries an end date of 19 August 2026. Retailers pull pages early and without warning, so read that as the outer edge rather than a promise.
Its strongest draw is the combination of near-max SATA speed and a 5-year, 600 TBW endurance rating.

Common questions
It is −40% below the $519.99 that Amazon lists for this configuration, a saving of $210.00. That is a comparison against the retailer’s own listed price on the date shown, not against every price the product has ever carried.
