What happened
Tom's Hardware flags the TeamGroup G50 EVO 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSD as the cheapest 4TB drive it has seen for Prime Day, at $399 — roughly 10 cents per gigabyte. The article describes it as a 'speedy' PCIe 4.0 drive at 'cut-throat pricing,' but the excerpt contains no benchmark numbers, no read/write figures, and no comparison table beyond the price-per-gigabyte claim. It is a deal post, not a review or measurement.
Why it matters
If you're speccing local storage for model weights, datasets, or a homelab box, $399 for 4TB works out to about $0.10/GB — a useful price anchor to compare against whatever local retailers charge after conversion and shipping. But the text gives no performance data, so decide on the price alone, not on the 'speedy' adjective; verify endurance (TBW) and warranty before buying for write-heavy training or logging workloads.
Discussion angle
Price-per-GB for local storage versus cloud object storage and egress fees — when does buying a 4TB drive beat paying monthly to keep datasets and model weights in a bucket, especially for teams in Malaysia dealing with USD-denominated cloud bills?
