Joburg SSD Stock Snapshot for December 2026

Evetech's Midrand warehouse holds deep stock on the WD Black SN770 and SN850X, Samsung 990 Pro, Crucial T500, and Kingston KC3000 lines across 1TB to 4TB capacities. SATA 2.5-inch drives like the Samsung 870 EVO and Crucial MX500 are also fully stocked for older builds and PS4 console upgrades. Demand spikes around Black Friday cleared some 8TB SKUs, but mid-December restocks have brought availability back to normal.

What Gen5 Looks Like in JHB Right Now

Crucial T705 and Samsung 9100 Pro Gen5 drives at 2TB are arriving in smaller batches and selling within days. If you've just put a Z890 or X870E board in your case, back-order a Gen5 drive rather than waiting for storefront stock. Realistic delivery from Joburg to Cape Town and Durban remains 2-3 working days regardless of capacity.

How JHB Storage Pricing Compares Nationally

Pricing is uniform across SA on Evetech because warehousing is centralised in Gauteng, and free delivery applies on storage orders above R1,000. A 1TB WD Black SN770 currently sits around R1,499, the 2TB Samsung 990 Pro near R3,799, and 4TB enthusiast Gen4 drives between R5,500 and R6,999. NSFAS-friendly 500GB NVMe upgrades start at R699. Stocking patterns also favour Gen4 over Gen3 now, so older SKUs may carry promotional pricing as channel partners clear room for incoming Gen5 batches in early 2027.
