I don’t think a single kidney is enough. I checked and apparently iran allows legally selling a kidney, and activists in the US want the US to provide $50k in exchange for one healthy kidney. Given the big cost associated with data center drives, and that these are on the very edge of what’s possible right now, with the best drive controller and the most flash, they might even cost more than $50k. Sadly phison doesn’t offer a retail price on their website, only a price quote when you call or email, presumably also only when negotiating shipments in the hundreds or thousands. I don’t dare to ask them myself though, i’ll leave that up to you.
