What's stupid about a 4TB Dram NVME drive for less than $100/tb. Right now $90-100/TB is a good deal.... and that won't change any time soon due to the dram/ram shortages. That's reality. If you can live without a NVME/RAM/GPU for 2-3 years then yeah you can probably save a little money waiting 3~ years.

Not quite less than $100 / TB but there are decent prices out there for Gen 4 if not Gen 5. For example, I'm pulling the trigger on Crucial T700 at 4TB running at $429/ea. This is about the same $108/TB that I'm seeing whereas the performance profile of the CT4000T700SSD3 is 12.4 read, and 11.8 write.
With that in mind though, if you're maxing out the M2 slots of your motherboard, you're going to be at Gen 4 speeds so something "around" 7-8000" is where you want to purchase anyhow.
NAND is being slurped by the AI firms and it's not going to get cheaper. Apple is is going to renegotiate in for Q2 and onward, with every other major firm (SK Hynix, Micron and Samsung) looking to lock in the contracts with the big players - little consumers are so screwed. I'm expecting prices to increase and /maybe/ come back down 10-15% from the peaks in Q2/Q3 .
IMO, this wasn't a bad deal. I'm glad I didn't have to decide this or a few more dollars for a bit more future-proofing.
Samsung ... I'm seeing 4TB at over $1000 and some even pushing $2.2K 8TB is ... absurd.

Sure but this is both a TLC and a dram NVME drive. Most of the cheaper drives are QLC and non-dram. It's like comparing apples to oranges. https://www.ibm.com/think/insights/qlc-vs-tlc
The main thing you'll notice is TLC will have 2-3x lifetime write rating compared to QLC, meaning your drive will last 2-3x longer.
