Lots of reasonable 2230s available today from Micron, Teamgroup, Inland. The nicer ones from Samsung and other reputable brands will be double the price, yes. And even the cheap ones will be more expensive than a standard M.2 SSD. Miniaturization costs money, they're more expensive to make. We'll have to see how WD's prices are, but I assume they'll be higher like Samsung.

For me personally, I don't really care about brand. For my clients, I don't want callbacks from mystery brands like teamgroup...or inland. They really don't sound reliable. That was my issue with finding them.

Oh yeah I wouldn't get cheap brands for clients. But I do buy them for myself (and I make sure they're backed up).
