Part of me wants to buy. Part of me knows if this doesn't rapidly sell out, it will greatly pressure NVMe 8TB blades below $500... after years of AI and crypto games.

And there's no question that with a USB4 v2 Enclosure would be the alpha we really are seeking.

I'm surprised at how many current motherboards are incorporating BOTH USB4 and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for 40 and 20Gbps in the same product -- but I fear it won't last long, since the USB spec does not REQUIRE downward compatibility like that.
Wait what? That's not right.The USB4 standard mandates backwards compatibility to USB 3.x and dedicated backward compatibility with USB 2.0

How many years are we looking at for SSD prices to come down to the level of mechanical ?

Probably 25 years. HAMR won't be the last capacity boost.

Hard drives can be made for dirt cheap. They will be cheaper than SSD for a very long time to come.

Only question will be how cheap SSD gets, impacting HDD margins.

Ignorant comment. Also, you're probably not using a true 2x2 bus and proper cable It gets hot, but the lack of DRAM cache is the major factor for large transfers.
I still use final run Intel Macs with 2x2 and I'm an Intel recognized Thunderbolt expert. You really walked into that one. Then, somehow, you explained why after arguing something non-rival to what I said.

Would this be considered very good for a Retrobat emulation drive?
