SSD’s have been stuck at 4TB for a very long time, the recent lift up to 8TB 2.5" drives is good, but progression to high capacity drives is still going extremely slowly. Drives seem to have stalled at 15.36TB and 30.72TB in the enterprise, so I’m not too hopeful we’ll see consumer drives of similar capacity at consumer price points for another 3-5 years.
The one glimmer of hope though is the announcement of 28TB HDDs that might force SSD manufacturers have to actually try and compete it that might drive some of the enterprise capacity drives and tech into the consumer space sooner.
