Mushkin Launches 8TB M.2 NVMe ALPHA Series SSD

[BluesFanUK]

They need to get that 8TB price to $1000 considering a 2TB can be had for under $250

Much less than that. The prices of SSD's and NVME drives may have come down a lot since their initial launch but they've stagnated over the past few years. Aside from the odd deal on Black Friday, you're looking at having to pay £100 for just a 1TB, and the higher capacities tack a premium onto it.

Meanwhile mechanical drives are powering on with going 20+TB by 2021, likely all under £800 too. Unless you're looking for the performance, SSD manufacturers just keep shooting themselves in the foot, spinning rust remains king. Small SSD for boot up, large capacity drive for storage, that probably won't change for at least another decade the rate they're going.

In 2013, I paid $120 for a 840 Evo 250GB: $0.48/GB
In 2014, i paid $400 for a M550 1TB: $0.40/GB
In 2018, I paid $250 for a EX920 1TB: $0.25/GB
In 2019, I paid $220 for a SX8200 Pro 2TB: $0.11/GB

So, I have no idea what you mean by "stagnated over the past few years."

Speaking of 8200pro worth mentioning their disgusting bait & switch

Adata Switches to Slower Controller, NAND on SX8200 Pro
