    That’s because we’re having trouble just getting food. A shiny new and expensive SSD isn’t even on the list at this point.

    Realistically, a couple of 10TB drives would have me covered for like a decade at least. If these massive drives bring down the price of much smaller ones, I’m a happy boy.

    That’s some nice density you got there. While you’re at it…

    Can I get a 12.8TB drive 1/10th the physical size (m.2 2230) and has a steady transfer rate of 2.4GBs that costs <$200 dollhairs? Pretty please 🙏

      Unless you’re using a NUC or similar, M.2 is the worst form factor - and consumer grade drives are all shit. If you’re in the market for storage I’d recommend looking at used enterprise U.2 drives in the 0.5-1 DWPD range. Adapters (PCIe or M.2 to U.2) are super cheap.

      Edit: 12.8TB is gonna be a stretch, obviously, but even Solidigm TLC drives are quite a bit better than any consumer grade drives and I’ve seen some of the 7TB models go for surprisingly cheap.

    Do you think the normal consumer would care? All that matters is for SSD to become as cheap or cheaper than HDDs or nothing

    That’s cool and all. How many levels per cell? Can I have it in SLC? No? Ok then I’m good.
