Want very big SSDs? Here's a little known secret, 15.36TB models are almost as cheap as 8TB ones per terabyte — but there's a catch

Intel D5-P5316 2.5-inch 15.36TB SSD.

One of the constants in computing is the need for more storage. While 8TB SSDs offer both speed and capacity, they can be a little pricey, although there are deals available if you’re prepared to shop around. If you need more storage - nearly double, in fact - purchasing a 15.36TB SSD often provides better value on a per-terabyte basis.

For example, the Intel D5-P5316 2.5-inch 15.36TB SSD is available on Amazon for $1,650. It boasts write speeds of 3200 MB/s and read rates of 7000 MB/s. If you’re after a cheaper option, the Kioxia CD6-R KCD6XLUL15T3 is priced at a more affordable $1,397.63 on ServerPartDeals. This model offers 4000 MB/s write speeds and 5500 MB/s read rates.
