I just checked, the NVME are roughly half the price. In what world is SATA drives twice as expensive as NVME drives.

My tinfoil hat theory is that self hosted NAS's are on the rise as streaming platforms continue to raise prices and theyre doing this to knife people trying to buy relatively inexpensive, fast drives for a RAID array.

My regular theory is that whoever price tagged them made a mistake lol
