When I bought some of the earlier SSDs, had the same revelation. The prices/speeds have improved greatly since then. It's no exaggeration to say you can affordably obtain an M2 SSD with 100x the read/write speed you have now. For example, you could buy a 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus (read/write of ~3500Mb/s) for just $60. Those speeds and capacities used to cost exponentially more.
