- Veedrac 7y agoThe highest speed consumer M.2 drives go around $180/TB. Apple doesn't pay retail prices. $40 could well be a significant overestimate, especially given it's displacing an existing chip.
- FireBeyond 7y agoLet's not pretend that Apple doesn't charge HUGE premiums for memory/storage. For the iMac Pro it's $400 to go from 32GB to 64GB of memory. High end memory is around $140 for the same jump. "High performance" - it's the same 2666MHz chips. Storage? Samsung NVMe prices are around $300 per TERABYTE. Tell more about the high performance silicon Apple is using that is worth $800/TB.
- colejohnson66 7y agoWhere did I say they didn’t charge a premium? All I said was I think $40 is on the low end.
- Veedrac 7y ago1TB 970 EVO is $170 on Amazon.com, not $300.
- FireBeyond 7y agoI was trying to be indulgent and go with the PRO line.
