I know right. Why is this not a thing already? I mean I understand the various U.2, U.3, and EDSFF are great for high density data center installs. We have a 1U box in production that could be as high as 1 PB given current densities with E1.L drives but that’s enterprise level stuff. I just want a huge 3.5 SSD I could put in these pro-consumer level NAS boxes or maybe even one I could build myself for my home lab.

Thru exist but they're all several hundred dollars and 480 GB for some reason.

I have a few 960GB (ish? can’t remember exact size) 2.5in at work that are almost useless.
