ssd cost roughly the same as cheapo hdd of same low volume (1-2tb), it's kinda funny
(probably signifies that problem is very weird, 9 plates hdd uses proportionally more reading heads and plates, so wtf is that price scaling (not actuators, not magnetic heads, not plates) i cannot tell, they use minuscule amount of ram, pcb is trivial itself, maybe the spinning drive? but that would be hilarious)
