While I'd have no need for anywhere near 100+ TB, I'll be really happy when SSDs are cheaper than spinning disks. If they can make a 200TB drive for business, a 20TB drive for home users should be pretty reasonable.

What about longevity though.

If we could replace chips like we could replace cells in batteries, things would be better maybe.

But I would love to have a pure SSD NAS.

I will say, SSD pricing is pretty frustrating. There's a lot of focus on faster and faster nvme that's barely noticeable while actual capacity has really stagnated at around 2-4tb. As someone who is very into photography, it takes not very long to fill 2tb of space. If I could buy a cheap 16tb ssd with fast reads and slow writes I'd be a happy camper but it doesn't exist unless I want to buy spinning disks (I don't)

20TB for home user is probably for storage so I would expect longevity to be way better than HDD.

Yeah, I'd gladly take a cheap large capacity SSD that can only do 500MB/s for storing data. It's still gonna be much faster, quieter and cooler than a HDD.

Looking at the prices, they have barely gone down at all in the last 3 years (for the same specs). And the best price per capacity is still at 1TB.
