Man I paid $100 cad for a 60 gig ssd in 2012 and I thought that was cheap, around the time they were closing into $1/gig, I’ve bought a few 256gig crucial data ssds for drive swaps on old machines and for family and they’re all around $50 and you can actually use them as more than a boot drive, heck the 256 gig nvme drive and enclosure I grabbed as an external drive was under $100, it’s wild how cheap storage has gotten in a decade.
Yeah, I was doing the inventory of what storage I have lying around and stumbled upon the very first (126Go) SSD I bought as a boot drive when they were just starting to reach the 1€/GB mark. It has since been replaced by a 200€ gen 5 nvme with 1TB capacity. Shit’s wild indeed
