True, but they're also SSDs, so if the case isn't going to move too much or aesthetics aren't important, save a few bucks and let 'em hang out in an open space.For raw storage, a team group AX2 or something like that is fine for half the cost. There are reasons it’s cheaper but I doubt you would know unless you looked at crystal disk. A simple 2.5-3.5” adapter is all you need. You can find 2x 2.5 adapters as well if you have the sata ports.
They absolutely make these. The cost is obscene and the performance is LOL.I was always hoping for a 3.5" with 100TB or so
Hanging loose? Double sided sticky tape works well.True, but they're also SSDs, so if the case isn't going to move too much or aesthetics aren't important, save a few bucks and let 'em hang out in an open space.
Bird222, most cases made in the last many years have 2.5" compatibility already present in the 3.5" mountings. Look for some closer spaced holes that would go into the underside of a 2.5" drive.
What can I say? I spend my money on the components, the rest is just details I don't dish out for if I can help it. All my 2.5" SSDs are generally in older cases and systems where I can't look inside, so if there isn't a mount built in, I just connect and put out of the way. It's not like it's going to hurt anything.Hanging loose? Double sided sticky tape works well.
I actually picked up one of these at my local bestbuy when I needed an adapter.

I have a really old case too...like 20 or so. It is just loaded with 5.25 and 3.5 bays, so I filled it with a slug of hard drives to turn it into a NAS.My case is old so it doesn't have 2.5" bays. Hell, it still has a floppy drive. lol Ok, it looks like I'm going with 2.5" drives and an adapter. Anybody have any other recommendations besides the Samsung 870 Evo or is that the gold standard?
Same +2ps: one of mine just lives on the floor of my case, at goofy angle, under the hdd.
Nope.
Just because the price and performance are out of proportion with other high capacity options doesn't make it any less real.Nope.
If you are talking scam then say so.
LOL. These are not "cost effective"

I don't think it's scam as much as pricing what the market will bear. For business customers, it comes down to "total cost of ownership," including space considerations, power consumption, and the cost of processing a given "workload." Think about a rackmount drive storage server like this one. https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-rsv-l4412u-black/p/N82E16811147330 With HDDs, the max drive size is 20-22 TB, and those drives will require a lot of power and cooling. Now you can get up to 5X the storage, with a lot less power required, AND faster response times. And if a company is refreshing storage to replace 3-4 year old drives, those would be say 10-12 TB, so up to a 10X storage boost. What's not to like, aside from the price?Nope.

As I alluded to in my second post, Samsung (and others) are hot on their heels with better stuff. Samsung just teased a 256TB unit.For now , this company has this market niche to itself. But if there is one truism in tech, it's that no market advantage lives forever.
