seems to have gone up since I last bought one. Isn't tech getting cheaper inflation proof?

Storage gets cheaper based on $/GB at a "sweet spot". That spot is 2TB right now

All the PCs in my house have basically got to 2tb because that SSD is so cheap

You need SSD speed for video? Just grab a huge 3.5 drive.
