I’m not seeing a 2TB M.2 SSD for less than $250. Depending on the speed they put in it, it could easily be market price. The current Amazon best seller is $350 and is over 2x the read speed of the cheaper one.
You’re comparing high end 512gb prices with low end 2tb prices. I somehow doubt Valve is selling this with a no-DRAM-cache SSD. It’s only a $50 different if you compare fairly, and I doubt you’ll find anyone willing to buy the old 512gb for full price either.
Valve’s pricing is incredibly normal here. Yes the price is high, but they’re not straight up ripping you off like Apple’s RAM and SSD upgrades.

Market price for a 512GB is $100.
1050 - 100 + 250 = 1200.
