Why did Raspberry Pi make their own SSD?

Video Description

Raspberry Pi just launched microSD cards, SSDs, new AI HATs, and even a rubber bumper! Can I possibly cram them all into one video? Raspberry Pi sent the products that are mentioned in this video for testing. They did not pay anything for this video, nor did they have any say in this video's content (or any ability to review it before publication).
