The DotDisk is financially on par with other 80Gbps enclosures at $200 retail. By way of comparison, the OWC 1M2 80Gbps retails for $220, and the Terramaster D1 SSD Pro for $250. There are discounts available for those latter two (they’ve been available quite a bit longer) that close the gap, but the DotDisk is priced as it should be. At least with respect to the current 80Gbps market. I’d be remiss if I didn’t inform you that 40Gbps enclosures are about half the price of the 80Gbps variety, still pretty darn fast, and to us, the sweet spot in the price/performance ratio. 40Gbps SSDs are twice

Hang onto your hats, folks, it’s a wild financial ride to owning an SSD these days. Two months ago, the EX40 would’ve looked pricey indeed. Now? $390 for 1TB, $500 for 2TB, $850 for 4TB, and $1,700 for 8TB don’t look half bad. With NAND/SSD prices so high, the price delta between the various bus speeds has become far less significant. In other words, if you’re going to spend massively for an SSD, you might want to get the fastest stuff available.
