No price mentioned. How much does this fetch? Quarter of a million bucks?

Why would it cost that much? A 30TB nvme costs about $3k. You need 12 of those, so that’s like 36k. Add another $4k for the rest of the hardware and the case. Plus a little overhead since it’s a branded item, it shouldn’t be more than $50k.

SSDs are currently around $100/TB, and a computer with those specs won't be over $10k, so my rough estimate is that this will cost less than $50k.
