> What accounts for the premium price/TB of these extremely high capacity enterprise-targeted drives?
Spare capacity, mostly. That’s why they have higher endurance. If you want to double the endurance of a given drive, tell the controller to allocate twice as many spare blocks and report less capacity than you would otherwise.
In this case, you are also paying a premium for the PCIe attachment instead of SAS, and a lot for price elasticity. You see, with drives like these you slash space and energy consumption in relation to HDDs by a large number, and that allows you to pay a premium for the device, because, at the end of its lifetime, it’ll have more than covered the cost difference in saved space and energy.
as in that it reflects market prices in any way. I feel like anybody who works in this field knows that Dell etc. rip off naive customers this way and you can either negotiate it back to reality or just buy 1 small drive and order your own separately

I don't see a 'write intensive' option (I only looked around for a few minutes), but I can imagine them being 2-4x those prices.
Enjoyed the read. Good luck with the future developments.
Now a nerdy question. As someone who investigates SQL injections, why are you running a server based on nginx 1.4.6? Do you know something I don't? :-)
LXC requires Linux. So you can actually use multipass to run LXC on macOS and Windows. I believe that was actually one of the main motivators for the multipass project.
It's also my theory that orbstack on macOS works like this
