This 4TB Team Group T-Force G50 NVMe stands out for its large capacity, 2600TB endurance rating, and included graphene heatsink. It is also DRAM less and uses HMB, so the controller needs to support that, and compatibility can be limited in PS5s and many external enclosures. The price drew strong pushback as high for a two year old mid range drive, though the urgency case is that it is the best available option when storage is needed right away. A practical pick if the fit and price still make sense for your setup.
Gamers and general PC users needing immediate 4TB storage, because a large drive can stay mostly unworn after writing and this can be the best available option when you need one now.
At $389.99, it is widely viewed as expensive for a two-year-old mid-range 4TB NVMe drive, with several comments calling it a roughly $100+ markup over earlier pricing. If you need storage immediately, it can still be the best available option right now.
It is DRAM-less and uses HMB, so the host controller needs to support HMB for best compatibility. That matters most if you are pairing it with a system that may not handle host memory buffering well.
It has a 2600TB endurance rating, which is strong for a consumer 4TB NVMe drive. For typical gaming and everyday use, most of the drive may stay largely unchanged; wear concerns matter more for scratch-disk workloads with heavy constant writes.
PS5s and most external enclosures do not support HMD SSDs, so compatibility can be limited outside a standard internal M.2 setup. Check the target device before buying if you plan to use it externally or in a console.

i believe i got a few for 4T nvme SSD in 2023 for 125 dollars.
Whatever the markup is, I am just trying to keep people from panic buying over whatever AI scapegoat the industry is hiding behind this week. Supply and demand only functions properly if consumers actually push back against inflated RAM and SSD prices instead of just accepting them during these corporate social experiments.

Certainly a terrible deal in terms of pre-AI prices.
"Pre AI prices" is just buzz for normal pricing before companies realized they could blame everything on the AI boom to hike margins. These consumer drives aren't even used in AI datacenters, so paying a $100+ markup for two-year-old hardware is pure madness.

Fair enough but unless the capex stops from these hyperscalers, I don't see these coming down any time soon and the ssd makers will prioritize them always and these all get assembled on the same plants. I do think if one of them scales back, it spells the end of this madness for better or for worse since it's making up a significant percentage of the economy.

Yes and No. The issue here is that there are multiple sources of demand. Consumer demand vs Corporate/Data Center demand. Consumers don't want to pay these prices. However corporate demand is dwarfing the consumer demand right now. Literally some hardware component manufacturers have completely exited the market for consumer goods.
Micron shutdown Crucial and exited the consumer business
Samsung is heavily prioritizing corporate customers
Nvidia shelved all 2026 graphic card releases
AMD has slowed consumer products releases
Companies must focus on more profitable business. This is capitalism. They aren't charities...So they don't care if you don't buy components at inflated demand driven prices right now.
With that said, there may be better deals than this available from time to time.

They aren't used in data centers. However the component manufacturers have switched their manufacturing capacity and foundries to focus on corporate products. They simply are not designing and manufacturing consumer oriented PC components right now. So they don't care if you don't buy them or hold out for cheaper prices. They just won't make any of them until this is over.

Sure, corporate focus shifted to data centers, but as a consumer, that doesn't change the math.
When a two-year-old mid-range drive carries a $100+ markup over its original launch price, it's a raw deal for individual buyers regardless of corporate strategy. Pointing out supply constraints doesn't make a $390 price tag on a $200 drive any less painful to pay out of pocket.

That is valid regarding production lines, but it still does not change the math for us. Shifted manufacturing capacity explains why supply is low, but it does not magically turn a two year old mid range drive into a good deal at $390. We are allowed to call a bad consumer value what it is and hold onto our cash until things settle down.

They won't settle down. Pricing will stabilize at levels much higher than before the boom but they will never return to the prices of 2 years ago. In case you haven't noticed, everything is more expensive. It's not just memory. So if the ai demand dies the memory will also be as expensive as everything else has gotten.

The drive may work well for internal builds where the controller and platform support HMB behavior.
The SSD's 2600TB endurance rating can help shoppers estimate long-term write capacity.
The 4TB capacity can suit consumer or heavy-gaming use where most data remains unwritten.
The deal can be the best available option when an SSD is needed immediately.
The $389.99 price is criticized as a markup over a two-year-old mid-range SSD's original launch pricing.
The SSD lacks DRAM and relies on HMB, so buyers must confirm their controller supports HMB.
PS5 and many external enclosures reportedly do not support HMD SSDs, which can limit compatibility.
Team Group T-Force drives reportedly have reliability issues based on personal experience.
