These clicky baity titles are so fucking stupid. The bleeding edge of data storage is priced at a premium? How surprising.

MODERATORS
With very large SSD systems, these high throughputs mostly come from parallel chip accesses and transfers. Very low latency is more interesting. I'd like to see the numbers at queue depth 1 instead of 512.
This isn't really a very high throughput anyway, some devices had half of that back in the days when 2-4TB was the largest capacity for NVMe devices so it hasn't really kept up with size very well.
Price?
As with most enterprise offerings: If you have to ask it's not for you
Similar enterprise-grade SSDs go for around $16K
Assuming you're not talking about this article's 7.68TB drive and not the mentioned 61.44TB one, actually far less than you'd think.
Solidigm's equivalent (https://www.solidigm.com/products/data-center/d7/ps1010.html) goes for between $1000 and $1500 USD for the same 7.68TB capacity: https://www.serversupply.com/SSD/NVMe/7.68TB/SOLIDIGM/SB5PH27X076T001_394195.htm
(And performs similarly, 14.5GB/s R / 10GB/s W, vs 14.6/11 for the one in the article).
Thanks for the info. This is really promising.
