The reel says SSDs cost ₹109,290 with duties and taxes included., but current sources do not settle it.
Why we say that›
Viral ₹1.09 lakh SSD listing is a joke, not proof it beats gold or mutual funds.
The original editor's post was a humorous observation about a price listing, not financial analysis. Current market price for the Seagate 2TB SSD is around ₹18k-25k, not ₹1.09 lakh. The reel leaps from one viral joke to claiming SSDs are a superior investment without evidence of real appreciation, liquidity or comparison to funds/gold returns.
Based on only a few sources, so read this as a first look, not the last word.
The editor's post is real and was a joke about a high listing vs his ₹14k purchase. Nothing shows actual sale at that price, sustained value growth, or comparison to real returns from funds or gold.
The original editor presented it as a joke about a strange high listing price, not as serious investment advice or analysis.
