>Okay, where's the rub?
It takes 4 PCIe lanes per drive
So Xeon Scalables are the cheapest way to run more than 4 drives.
But at 4 drives, you can have nearly half a petabyte of raw NVME storage

>the prices start at "Inquire"
They're $100 per TB for individual orders.
We sell a petabyte of storage a year for clients and aren't even a drop in the bucket of NVME manufacturers so we get the worst pricing.

>Got two of these 8 TB Intel's for $400 a pop a couple of years ago
What's wild is open box unused drives are still $50 a TB and BNIB is $100. Used drives are $10-20 a TB for the fastest storage with the highest write endurance but people cream over WD Blacks.
