This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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 ...
The reason it costs so much is because the chip industry is limiting supply again again to drive prices up after a few years of over producing. Not because there is something fancy in this drive.
