Why does Micron RealSSD P400m 2.5 400GB SATA 6Gb/s cost so much?

Question

Solid State Drives

I came across such an SSD-shnik, I began to google what's what. I ended up finding it on Amazon for $1,300. I'm really not very savvy, so I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that there are cheaper and more powerful ones.

Answer 1

There are sometimes inadequate price tags for stale pieces of iron.
For his native 2013, the characteristics are not the worst. As far as retrospectively I can immediately find - they wanted to compete with the intel DC S3700. However, the price tag of $1300 would have been inadequate even then, not like now (I didn’t find any MSRP for reference).

Answer 2

Well, intraprice is the same. High reliability, 7 Petabyte recording resource, warranty.

Answer 3

Why is a rare Cossack worth 300 thousand? You can also buy a Chinese tractor, which is cheaper and more powerful.
The price does not depend on the characteristics of the device, it depends on supply and demand.
