Have you not noticed that SSD prices have dropped by almost half the last 6-8 months?
I can get the same SSD I bought in February for literally half the cost today.
You can get larger drives. 4TB has pretty high availability. If you want more, you can go server grade U.2 and get 8-32TB SSD - you will pay more though.
- layer8 3y agoI’m thinking larger than 4TB. There’s still just the 8TB Samsung QVO available in the consumer space. You are right that prices have improved.
- rbanffy 3y agoUnless you are constrained in space, getting one of those relatively cheap multi M.2 PCIe x16 cards is a good option.

- BackBlast 3y agoSabrent has a 8TB M.2 as well. It's expensive. Enterprise space can be reasonable to look at. 7.68TB $400, similar to the QVO but much better quality flash and interface. https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/solid-state-drives/products/western-digital-ultrastar-dc-sn640-wus4bb076d7p3e3-0ts1930-7-68tb-pcie-gen3-1-x4-4gb-s-u-2-nvme-3d-tlc-2-5-solid-state-drive https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/solid-state-drives/p... It is U.2, so you'll need an adapter.
