That is ridiculously inaccurate. Consumer SSDs that are absolute overkill on performance and endurance are only half the price of the $0.75 per GB you claim as a price floor for good drives. Realistically, there's no reason for a consumer to spend even 20¢/GB, and there are tons of good drives well below that price which will not eat your data and will outlast the useful lifetime of several other components in your machine. There are reputable, well-behaved SATA SSDs at 10¢/GB.
