      Doubt 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.

        Your 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.

      Seriously I just wanna buy some 8TB NVMes for the same price as 4x2TB NVMes. Or give me a cheapo not premium flash 16TB SATA SSD, if an NVMe one just isn’t doable.

      Let us get beyond the 2TB SSDs!

        8TB in the M.2 NVMe form factor is gonna be tough, though 8TB in the U.2 form factor (PCIe to a 2.5" drive) can be had for $400 used / $550 new (search “Intel DC P4510 SSDPE2KX080T851”).

              I’m aware. The OP we’re both responding to asked for SATA if not available for NVMe. $300 is cheaper than $400

              Or give me a cheapo not premium flash 16TB SATA SSD, if an NVMe one just isn’t doable.

              Let us get beyond the 2TB SSDs!

                Except he asked for a 8TB NVMe or a 16TB SATA. Is your $320 SATA drive 16TB? I was simply pointing out 8TB NVMe drives were available and not overly expensive.

                I just wanna buy some 8TB NVMes for the same price as 4x2TB NVMes. Or give me a cheapo not premium flash 16TB SATA SSD, if an NVMe one just isn’t doable.
