Useless summary of what is clearly another source, without an obvious link to that actual source, no photos of the experiment and a bunch of secondhand discussion. Just repost garbage, likely to drive ad views (not that I'm willing to turn off ad blocking to find out).

The actual source article (https://www.storagereview.com/review/solving-steam-deck-shad...) is sort of pointless too, but in a more fun experimentation way. The "is this possible even though you wouldn't want to do it" way.

They even posted a picture an ssd with the wrong form factor.

Its as if an LLM wrote it, even though I know its probably human.

Thanks for the original source. This is pointless nonsense, but it’s exactly the sort of pointless nonsense I want to read on a Friday evening!

> $55 per TB

Want to boost the capacity of your $500 toy? Add $1650 in storage!

$15-30 bucks per TB ?! that's honestly mindblowing to me.

It doesn't seem to be true though, or at least I can't find a purchase link.

I also don't see that in the original article at all.

In this paragraph:

> Using the Solidigm P5336, however, StorageReview was able to “obliterate'' current storage limitations and open up a world of possibilities for users.

Click the link that's embedded in "Solidigm P5336"

Which takes you to:

https://www.techradar.com/pro/worlds-highest-capacity-pcie-s...

Which contains:

> (As of August 2nd, multiple vendors have started to list the 15.36TB and 30.72TB model for about $55 per TB)

Which actually highlights that I misread/misquoted. It's $55 per TB, not 15-30. I will update my post.

Had to mangle the title as it was too long.
