Are there actual situations where you would even want this much data on a single drive?

someday those 60GB bluray rips I see on trackers might be viable for a local media server.
I have 4k screens and an okay sound system, who are these whatever-philes that think these 60gb rips change the experience meaningfully
like, how many audio tracks you need and the other 50gb so you can stare at black pixels and say “wow these blacks are so impressive”

they build now with many smaller SSD attached, and maybe with this large one all maintenance process will be encapsulated in one component, so you can think about it as NAS but placed directly inside the server.

I bought my first HDD in the mid-90s: 850MB. There was a 1.2GB model, but I thought, "Why would I ever need that much space?" This was before videos, before mp3s, and images were all low quality jpegs.
Imagine how much data could you generate daily!
Thos aside, a FHD movie in good quality still takes 10-30gb
We are still limited by size and internet speed and need to compress data

I am 100.0% sure this is what someone has said for 256GB drives, 256MB drives, 256KB drives, and the same person will be saying it for 256YB drives.
My home server has a couple dozen terabytes (on spinning metal) and, with current fill rate, it's predicted it'll need an increase in space only after two of the drives reach retirement according to SMART. It hosts multiple development VMs and stores backups for all computers in the house.
Another aspect is that the total write lifetime is a multiple of the drive capacity. You can treat a 256TB drive as a very durable 16TB drive, able to last 16 times more writes than the 16TB one.

Any bets on the price for this?

While I agree, it's been hard filling up the 2TB drive in my laptop.

Then you're defiantly not torrenting enough "definitely legit" content as I am. Once you sail the dark seas it piles up quick. Or maybe I have ADHD.
