The solid-state drive (SSD) market is witnessing significant developments and price adjustments. A notable sale includes the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe SSD, reduced to $281.99 from its original price of $399.99, boasting read speeds up to 14,500MBps. Meanwhile, Samsung announced plans to increase the prices of enterprise SSDs by 20%-25% in the second quarter due to explosive demand, particularly from AI data centers, a jump from the initially planned 15% hike. This demand surge is attributed to shortages of some SSD models. In anticipation of rising prices, consumers are advised to purchase SSDs now. Concurrently, the PCIe 7.0 specification is making headway, with its first draft promising to double data transfer speeds and a full specification scheduled for next year. The upcoming PCIe 7.0 SSDs are expected to offer read speeds of up to 60.5GB/s and 512 GB/s over PCIe x16, significantly leaping from current capabilities, with a market release anticipated by 2025.

It is amazing what the mind anchors to, I spent a decade in the late 90's to early 2010's building and rebuilding RAID servers for max storage capacity. I just bought a 4TB SSD for $600 for my iPhone backups. But my brain is like maybe we should squeeze some other stuff on there?
