Synology starts selling overpriced 1.6 TB SSDs for $535 — self-branded, archaic PCIe 3.0 SSDs the only option to meet 'certified' criteria

Synology's new SNV5400 drive family has hit the shelves, and comes with a spit-take inducing price tag of $630 for 1.6 TB of PCIe 3.0 storage. The family goes as low as $175 for 400GB, representing more than 2x the industry standard for a matching NAS drive.
