I paid $1600 for the 960 PRO 2 years ago. They still cost $1200 today. I paid $280 for the HP EX950 last week. The HP is clearly the best value in a desktop drive. The Samsung 960 PRO uses less power and would be better suited for a laptop. The 2TB drive with the lowest power requirements that still has decent performance is the Intel 7600p with a maximum power usage of 100mw vs the 5700mw of the 960 PRO. I have not purchased or tested an Intel drive yet. The first one is the Samsung 960 PRO.
