Are they cheaper or more expensive than the high density consumer SSDs?

usually more expensive per tb, but for a data center not that much because you can get more storage in a single rack than you otherwise would with peasant 8 tb ssds.

There are companies that sell parts from used servers, e.g. SAS controllers for PCI.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters More Letters

RAID Redundant Array of Independent Disks for mass storage
SATA Serial AT Attachment interface for mass storage
SSD Solid State Drive mass storage

4 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 15 acronyms.

With the SATA acronym it seems to have trouble resolving the AT, so I became curious. Here’s what I’ve found:

“AT” was IBM’s abbreviation for “Advanced Technology”; thus, many companies and organizations indicate SATA is an abbreviation of “Serial Advanced Technology Attachment”. However, the ATA specifications simply use the name “AT Attachment”, to avoid possible trademark issues with IBM.
