Can someone tell me what is coming to Desktop storage that the price of NVME M.2 SSDs has dropped so drastically?

Yes, it's Saturday - but I just ordered another $1400 of hard drives for the company.
I swear we get through these like some people get through shoes.

The main problem with SSD’s is that they suck for Data Recovery, it’s why it’s best to get additional external and internal #HardDrives instead.
SSD’s should just be viewed as the Drive you put the Operating System/s on, but never depend on.

I actually know about DNA sequencing
If you had a time machine, and delivered blueprints for a DNA sequencer and all the associated stuff back to 1990, or maybe even 1985, scientists would have had no trouble at all making a modern DNA sequencer except for one issue:
The cost of computers, and hard drives, was so high that the sequencer would have cost a NASA level fortune to run
why ?
a DNA sequencer spews out tera bytes of dat/day

Prediction about the future*
DNA is not a good way to store information, despite what people say

*Caveat: most predictions, and especially those about the future, are wrong

HDD average life span misses 3-year mark in study of 2,007 defective drives [Updated] | Ars Technica

Another reason to switch to SSD only systems (like the new metalhead.club server) - _if_ you don't have huge storage size demands and can afford it.

Once upon a time I installed a 5 Megabyte hard drive in my IBM PC compatible system. I thought I could never use up such massive capacity during my life.
Now I have 6TB in my NAS alone and it's starting to fill up. Damn you, JPEG + RAW files.

The price on this one is excessive and RAID 0 is a big no-no.
