News TeamGroup EX2 Elite 1TB SSD is Just $79 on Amazon

If SATA SSD was 40 dollars per TB...why would you use a NVMe that load your OS and load your games like 1-2 seconds faster instead of just using a normal SATA SSD?

You could have 3TB of SATA SSD for 120 dollars instead of paying 120 for a 1TB NVMe. If this was true I'd take the 3TB SSD any day of the week and there isn't even a down side. Loading times are almost identical.

Tests show that a NVME doesn't make that much of a difference on loading times of games... Ask a data scientist about how much time it savings them loading data, maybe with Nvidia's new Cacheing tech, it might make a difference.

There is a reason why I said that SATA SSD should be $40 per TB.

After the new consoles prices were revealed with 1TB NVME included and the system is still selling for $500 I concluded that they are stealing us in the SSD market .. no matter how you calculate it , it will end up around $40 for the 1TB NVME SSD inside the consoles MAX ..

Some people say that Xbox does not profit from the hardware , well fine double that for $80 per TB for Nvme .. that would be double profit.

They can sell SATA drives for $40 per TB today but I think they still want to overprice it.

Pricing of consoles and the components therein have zero impact on shelf prices of components you buy.

I know , but it gives you an indication of the basic costs and how much profit they make from us when they sell it retail .

Retail includes shipping, marketing, warehousing, boxing, etc, etc, etc.

When you can call your personal rep at Micron/Intel/Samsung, and put in an order of 500,000 units...you too can demand $40 each.

Samsung sell their own SSD , they have all the stock not only 500,000 to order .. they control the pricing.

Also , NVME makers DO order 500,000 chips from Samsung to make their own NVME and sell it.

and Consoles also need boxing and warehousing and marketing and etc .. not only tiny small package nvme drive that costs less.

Also I did not demand $40 retail price for NVME , I said even NVME they can sell it $80 per TB at double profit ... and Sata for sure lower than NVME...

I never said otherwise.
