Hm, I'm not sure i understand.

The 1tb NVMe Sabrent SSD on Amazon is $150: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LGF54XR/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i...

You said you could put multiple in the PC so we can assume at least more than 1. So just for the SSDs, not including the NVM PCIe interface we are looking at $300 for 2TB.

In comparison for $100 you can get a 4TB WD red: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083XVY99B/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i...

That's a lot more $/GB than you could get with HDDs.

I have 4 2TB HDDs in a raid 5 array at home and all 4 disks didn't cost $300 and I have 6TB usable storage space.

So how is it cheaper to go with NVM SDD for home use?
