Ridiculous prices.
That’s the cost of high end bleeding edge tech.
It’s the cost of greed.
This isn’t bleeding edge at all. Just put a 15tb drive in a machine the other day and they are a couple years old at this point.
Was that a 2280 M.2 drive?
That’s what makes this bleeding edge since those drives are so tiny. 15tb in a 2.5" drive is nothing special.
Fair enough it was a 2.5 nvme but 8tb m2 2280 disks have been on the market for literal years. You could get them in PCIe gen 3 …
