I'm using these (Samsung 970 QVO) as the data drive in a couple of workstations right now. Not the fastest SSD for a number of reasons, but still a lot faster than a mechanical drive.

Oddly, these were ~$300 when I bought them at the end of 2023, but the price has now doubled.

I'm looking forward to the next NAND price crash in a year or two, hopefully we will start to see 16TB client SSDs hit the market then.

The Camel agrees with you! I've just setup a price drop alert.

Pricing in 2023 was edge case not the norm when everyone was losing money. But most on HN wouldn't believe it when I wrote it.
