To bad prices for the rest of PC parts were in line with m2 drives.

I think it's just the vid cards that are way too high, CPU, MB, memory are all still somewhat normal, right?.

I agree with that. You can build a killer system today for a reasonable price. Minus the GPU.

Of course you can still buy a GPU, I've got a 7790 that I'll let go for just $125!

Still, a full terabyte and a well known and respected manufacturer, lotta bang for your buck, my MB supports these so I might just grab one. LOL, my 1st drive purchase was a Commodore 1541 floppy disk in '83 for $175. And oh, it was a refurb!.

I bought a 1GB HD back in the day, ~1998?. IIRC cost $1000. $100? Yeah, I think it was ~$100, probably a Maxtor.

I have a 1TB NVMe in the machine, it's 2nd NVMe drive evidently died last week. I figure I'd like a 2nd drive in the machine to take some pressure off the other. It's a laptop. I'm going to see if I can get warranty relief from Adata, it's a 500GB NVMe SSD.
