But developers of SSD controllers still benefit from the situation.

    Last year, one of the executives where I work decided they wanted to donate terabyte SSD, and we bought them one, and it was like $800, and we were like, man, that is crazy. That’s a halfway good deal for an 8 terabyte SSD.

    Literally two months later, I remembered that and I was like, you know, I have a little extra money in the budget. I might want to upgrade. Yeah, it was like $1,800.

    If the guy ever takes his eyes off his laptop for more than 20 minutes, I may swap him out for a two terabyte and just act confused when I don’t know what happened.

      I almost bought a 4TB for ~$400.
      Wish i would have—now a 16g flash drive is that much.
