It’s worth noting that Kioxia itself didn’t state this figure, it’s a reasoned estimation by PC Watch ($250 to $350) but it’s not entirely plucked from thin air. There are still some important ifs, though.
Following that time table if we see 20TB for under a grand I’ll be shocked. Corporate greed is just too high. I can’t see them just chopping the price per TB that much that quickly.
If you wait for the next best/cheaper thing with computers you’re never going to stop waiting. Just get what you need when you need it and move on.
Man I paid $100 cad for a 60 gig ssd in 2012 and I thought that was cheap, around the time they were closing into $1/gig, I’ve bought a few 256gig crucial data ssds for drive swaps on old machines and for family and they’re all around $50 and you can actually use them as more than a boot drive, heck the 256 gig nvme drive and enclosure I grabbed as an external drive was under $100, it’s wild how cheap storage has gotten in a decade.
Yeah, I was doing the inventory of what storage I have lying around and stumbled upon the very first (126Go) SSD I bought as a boot drive when they were just starting to reach the 1€/GB mark. It has since been replaced by a 200€ gen 5 nvme with 1TB capacity. Shit’s while indeed
That’s just how computers work, man. I paid $600 for 32 GB of DDR5 RAM when it was cutting edge and just came out. 6 months later the same ram was like $200.
I fucking knew the moment I bought a top of the line Nvme drive, they’d come up with some breakthrough like this soon after

Yeah, that’s usually the reasoning that gets me to finally upgrade

You got 4-6 years to reach this price realistically.
