Top-end SSDs have gotten so pricey they're worth more than their weight in gold

Samsung SSD 9100 PRO review.
  • SSDs have shot up in price over the past month and a half
  • Tom's Hardware compared the cost of some top-end SSDs against gold in terms of their relative weight
  • It turns out that high-end 8TB SSDs are, on average, worth more than gold now by weight – and a few 4TB models are, too
