    Applying Moore's law to the pricing suggests that this will be a few years away. The 1TB version has nearly halved in price in a bit over 18 months. Applying this to this 2TB SSD indicates: ~$350 in around April 2017; around $175 in November 2018, so be on the lookout for 2TB @$150 in the first half of 2019.
