Its not so far off anyway. Especially in the smaller sizes., There is a 
certain amount of mechanical complexity in a spinning rust affair that 
needs to be built before any storage is added.

NVMe is also caseless and has a very low cost connector.

1TB in te UK is in the £40-£60 bracket

1TB spinning rust is in the £20-60 bracket. More buys you speed, but not 
as fast as NVMe.

If you want the speed, NVMe SSD is already cheaper
