This is the strategy I am now forced to adopt as well. I bought a 2 TB SSD for my home server in late 2024 for $80, then it died exactly a year and a day later. I knew RAM was out of control, but didn’t expect to see the same SSD for $350.
So I guess it’s back to the old 250 GB SSD and rotating old stuff onto an ancient HHD, then hoping prices tank again before one of those implodes.

Did it only have a 1 year warranty? That sounds terrible.
