Why would people not just buy AMD GPUs instead ? It's not like they are much worse, in fact last I checked it was Nvidia GPUs that were problematic if you had Linux in mind !

Unfortunately, it is likely to be limited to flash storage. The $/GB value has fallen to historic lows for all manner of solid-state storage devices.
