USB 3.2 Gen 2 tops out at 10Gbps, which is about 1200MB/s, while this drive does most of its sustained reads at around 4000MB/s (32Gbps).
If you jump up to USB 4.0 (20Gbps), you can double it to around 2400MB/s. But that's still nearly half of what this drive can do and it requires a USB 4.0 enclosure that currently costs more than the drive itself.
You can pick a much cheaper drive and it will still perform relative to this one over USB.
The lowest prices were around July-August of 2023, and they've since gone up… exactly the opposite of what you're saying.
Branded 1TB SSDs could be found for $30-$35 (or less!) and they've nearly doubled in price as manufacturers have scaled back to offset the surplus.

I mean, prices aren't where they have been historically, but it was more of a case of "don't go out of your way to seek out a drive with this level of performance if you're just going to throw it in an enclosure".
I also wouldn't recommend a drive where an included heatsink is a default option with the expectation that it will run cool.
Then again, some of these enclosures have heatsinks and fans.
This is 41k
But you are correct you won't get that number from another $73 drive.

Last I checked, nobody here has a time machine.
Do you?

TL;DR: There's nothing wrong with the drive per se, but some of the design choices seem to be driven more by sales and marketing rather than by engineering. As a result, you may see some unexpected performance degradation especially as the drive fills up.
literally any SSD "deal" is garbage right now
Garbage SSD or garbage deal on a good SSD?

Appreciate your post. Yes. Most people are spending more than they need. Yes, one can future-proof, but by the time enclosures can match speeds, there are much faster drives out there for a lower price. I know your game and play it too! haha.
