FWIW, a 4TB SSD with the same speed (7GB/sec) is currently $1200 ($750 more than the 2TB). So Apple's price is decent for the current market.

I'm certainly not enthused about being stuck with current market capacities, but at least I don't feel gouged on price.



Yeah but I don't need a 4TB SSD right now. I barely need a 2TB.


At least that extra free space will ensure you have optimal speed (SSD's slow down writes when they close to capacity) and prolong the lifetime of the drive (less write cycles per cell), so it's not for nothing.


I have 2TB of data but use a 1 TB drive and let the OS leave a bunch of files in the cloud, the one I don’t use.
