4 TB under $200 shows that nature is healing (for now).

For reference, the 8 TB SAMSUNG QVO (SATA drive) hit $320 at its lowest point. Given that price point was when the market really put the squeeze on SSD manufacturers, we could say the price floor (for now) is around $40/TB. There was definitely lower (down to $33/TB) but they were also the kind of SSDs you’d get after scraping the sludge off the bottom of the barrel. So 4 TB dipping under $200 is an excellent signal to buy―at least until new manufacturing processes capable of denser NAND invalidate the estimates.

Waiting for $150 price point, then I will move to 4TB, until then I'll be patient, I got my prior 2TB drives around the $70 price point not too long ago. I also don't need speeds better than what PCIe gen 3 supports, perfectly happy without a heatsink.
