What happened
Tom's Hardware reports Corsair's MP700 SE Gen 5 SSD in 4TB capacity is discounted by $180 to $579, which works out to roughly 14 cents per GB and is described as the cheapest drive on the market. The excerpt contains only the headline claim and site boilerplate — no benchmark numbers, no controller/NAND details, no listed retailer, and no indication of availability or pricing outside the US.
Why it matters
If you're weighing local storage for model weights, vector indexes, or large datasets, $579 for 4TB (~14 cents/GB) is the number to compare against — but the article gives no Malaysian pricing, seller, warranty, or import-cost detail, so treat this as a US reference price only and verify local listings before budgeting. Anyone not buying 4TB of NVMe this week has no action to take.
Discussion angle
For those running local models or big datasets: at what per-GB price does buying 4TB of Gen 5 NVMe beat paying for cloud storage or a bigger cloud GPU box — and what do Malaysian retail/import prices and warranty terms actually look like versus this US figure?
