It's incredible how much the prices have fallen and that's how it should be. Sure, I bought the 960 close to launch but still the difference is staggering.

The 960 Evo still chugs along albeit it's a new one because a few months after I bought it, I had to RMA it. I guess that's what happens when you are an early adopter. I lost a few hours of work when the original 960 Evo decided to stop working but it also taught me to be more paranoia with backups.

Amazing to see!
By this point do USB sticks make sense anymore as opposed to a super fast SSD inside an enclosure? It seems like the former hasn't seen any technical progress in years either

I usually have one USB stick tied to my keys, just in case. I can't imagine carrying an enclosed SSD everywhere with me.

They can be failry small though, no? The NVME form factor allows for something that is maybe two times longer than a usual USB stick, so it's still reasonably small and a tad harder to lose
