Anyone know if (a) it supports setting the ATA password in the BIOS (or the equivalent for NVMe/UEFI I guess), and (b) if that feature is safe or easy to defeat?
It's actually a really good price. Other 4TB M.2 TLC drives typically fluctuate in the 480 - 520 price range. AFAIK this is the fastest of the bunch to boot. The kingston Renegade comes close.
Also saw another thread that mentioned 12% Paypal/Honey cash back for WD site but it seems like only on select items...& this item wasn't one of them....anyone use that successfully?

There are 8 - 20tb densities waiting in the wings and if consumers keep paying these premiums for density it will take 4x as long as it should for pricing to get better. Want to wait another 4 years for 8tb to reach these prices? Keep buying.

Well first, you can already get 8TB m.2 SSDs. Those aren't waiting in the wings, they exist for $1,000 - $1,200 for TLC drives.
The reason you pay a premium for 4TB and 8TB m.2 drives is because the NAND used is more expensive. 2280 is a restricting form factor and is the largest size most consumer boards support. You can already get 15.36TB in the 22110 form factor but the vast majority of consumers boards do not support it.
200+ layer NAND is coming out and should push the maximum storage of m.2 2280 drives to 12-16TB. That said, do not expect them to be remotely cheap.
FYI no one here buying or not buying is going to have any impact on future SSD prices or capacity. Ultimately enterprise is where SSD manufacturers make their bread and butter. The company I work for dishes out $3,500 - $5,000 per drive and we have thousands of drives just in the U.2 form factor alone.

At the current market schedule it will take at least 4 years for that density to makec it to 2280 at 4tb current price. Idk that enterprise ssd is a much bigger market than consumer... There are still plenty of enterprise using a hybrid mix of hdd and ssd cacheing...

Most companies only use HDDs for cold storage now. Anything accessed with relative frequency is done on SSDs now. The TCO savings of SSDs over HDDs pay for their much higher prices over time. SSD racks are typically twice as dense as HDD racks and use much less power. Endurance of TLC drives vastly exceeds that of HDDs as well. The annualized failure rate of SSDs is less than half of HDDs in the enterprise environment. That's excluding the fact that many enterprise SSDs include SED features which improve data security and are able to maintain data integrity even if there is a sudden power loss.
