minus-squareperflosopher@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoDoubt it. 64TB SSDs are already here in a 2.5"-ish form factor (U.2/u.3/E3.S). 128TB are only a couple years out. 40TB HDDs will be competing with 2.5" 128TB SSDs.
minus-squarenisaaru@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoYour optimism about SSD prices is IMHO unjustified. NANDs are afaik still produced in 14-15nm so the only way they get more capacity is stacking multiple layers. So even if they add more and more layers the price of these NANDs will run into a price/capacity wall.
