We'll see what pricing looks like but I am for affordable, name brand SSDs! I think I dropped over $300 on the 4tb black I put in the PS5. If I could see a 4tb blue for $200 or less, I would retire my ancient 5tb spinner/game drive

Western Digital has been good to me over the years, so I normally look their way for drives when I can. So it's nice to see this budget lineup.

A nice 100TB SSD to offload games to... Man if I could do tiered storage and promote games I want to play up to my NVME and games I am taking a break from to the SSD. That would be REALLY nice. I know there are some hardware solutions that are capable of hosting your steam library on your local network. That might be nice if I had like a 10 gig pipe locally.
