"You wanted it so badly, we had no choice but to deliver,..." Maybe you should apply that to those who want MLC, like the PRO line used to use, as well...
and storage devices getting RAM from 1-4GB DDR4 (almost) like main systems (almost comparable peripherals upgrade like with GPU memory, but these are more than single task devices and can share their RAM, up to 48GB(?, e.g. RTX8000) at the moment)
[ well, with Linux and enabling swap tasks, somehow storage devices possibly would indirectly share RAM also (with memory RAM being completely distributed within activated processes), if swap files are limited to that RAM size for each storage device(?) ]
Random writes go to the pSLC cache. Random reads are against the TLC NAND.
Writes started exceeding reads when high-end SSDs switched from MLC to TLC. It's become more pronounced with some of the latest generation drives, though.
Did you forget the zero from the end of you numbers? Well in reality something like $800-$1000 sounds plausible MSRP. Normally higher capasity ssd has been more expensive / GB than the smaller ones... And the MSRP for 2gb model was $268
My 7.68TB drive is a gen4 Samsung drive that was new and around 550. For WD it is the 4TB SN850X I saw at Microcenter. Although it isn't currently on sale there...
It’s a welcome 4TB addition for me. I would love to own one of these as strictly a back-up NVMe. My MB today is virtually overloaded with storage. More specifically…a dedicated OS drive, a Steam Gaming drive, a favorite XXX drive, a photo collection drive, a WFH drive, a VPN movie collection torrent drive and a everyday ‘go to drive’ for garbage downloads and internet screw-arounds. And I do not like the CLOUD and parking my information on someone else’s computer/server!

ah!! too bad 99.99% of CIOs consider IT not a 'core competence' (in this day and age. OMG!) and are happy to get the tax write-off of Cloud Service as a direct expense.

For that, you'll have to want it so badly that you buy enterprise products instead :(thomasjkenney - Friday, August 25, 2023 - link

1-4GB ram?. We use a minimum of 16GB these days. I wouldn't want a drive without some DRAM. The system responsiveness difference to me is huge.FunBunny2 - Friday, August 25, 2023 - link
is this a Rip Van Winkle moment??? random writes exceed random reads?? when did that happen?Ryan Smith - Monday, August 28, 2023 - link

It'll probably be $399 at launch...haukionkannel - Sunday, August 27, 2023 - link

That would be ridiculous you can get 7.68TB drives for under $600 and I've seen the WD equivalent at about $264 one time.ewitte - Sunday, August 27, 2023 - link
