I'm basically a cheapskate and paid $80 for 4x 2tb HDD and they've hit $120 as reputable SSD and stuck. I keep hoping they'll drop lower but I need SATA form factor and I fear they will only drop in m.2 form now, SATA is dying. SATA to m.2 carrier boards are $20

2.5" sata SSD are falling in price about about the same as m.2 nvme sata, here's a 2TB for $62 [1] (not an endorsement, just an option; always be confirm your ssds have the features you want: bits per cell?, dram?, controller?, secure erase?, etc)
m.2 sata is available at similar prices too, but many fewer choices. mSata seems to have topped out at 1TB
it's already possible to get a 2.5 ssd with 8tb for $350
