It's just everyone is getting silly, wants an 8 TB drive for less than $800. I saw that Sabrent's 8TB was $2k
IIRC, it's $1500. I believe 8 TB Samsung 870 QVO should be around 800, but that's a SATA drive.

This actually isn't that bad a price.

This actually isn't that bad a price. I paid $400 for a 1TB drive just a few years ago, and now you can get 4x that for 50% more or 8x it for 3.5x more. Hopefully this means prices are going to start coming down a bit faster than they have been, and it's the first time I've even seen an 8TB drive, which is exciting because at some point I'd like to use SSDs for my main storage drives, which are 8TB, and I've been waiting for 2-4TB to get cheap enough to replace my 1TB system drive, too. And SSDs are so fast, especially compared to platter drives and network speeds, that most people won't even be saturating the bandwidth of a mid-range drive, so speed isn't really an issue, so I'm fine with something like this, as long as it has good longevity, vs something with 30-50% faster speeds but also costs that much more.

Corsair's MP400 SSD is another midrange PCIe Gen3 entry, as the market heats up close to the launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, both of which feature ultra-fast storage. The MP400 promises reasonable read/write speeds and massive storage capacity, at up to 8TB. The increased storage capacity comes at an immense cost, though, with the top-end variant selling for nearly US$1400.
