That's one of the fastest gaming drives on the market. How much is a shitty 0.5MB/s drive?

I got a 2TB WD NVMe drive for about $200 in May last year.
Now they're pushing $600. Basically the same drive.

Yeah but spinning rust is also hitting all time highs as well. We're going to be stuck with 64GB eMMCs and 1366x786 monitors

This. I swear every USB3 flash drive I've used can't even saturate a USB2 port on writes. They're all complete dogshit from my experience. My work has a bunch of Kingston Datatraveler G4 sticks lying about and despite being USB3 they choke and fall over under even moderate write loads.
If there are any flash drives that aren't useless for anything more than small bits of data I'd love to know what they are. I know the real answer is to use an m.2 enclosure instead but surely somebody makes a stick that doesn't have woeful performance. The USB stick form factor is much more handy than any kind of drive enclosure.

I had sandisk 32 gb in my car to play mp3s and lot of files were unplayable or stopped playing in the middle of song just in like 3 months after saving them into it. Now I have cheapest Lexar 32 gb and it still works without even a glitch after 2 years. ScamDisk is shit

They *can* cost that, if you go out of your way to find who is trying to rip you off the most.
Everywhere else they are still a reasonable price.

512gb micro sd cards were $40 back in 2023. I bought 3 of them. Currently using one in my phone and another in a chromebook. Still have one unopened. We'll never have those prices again.
