I think this probably falls under "if you have to ask, you can't afford it".

I believe pricing (in quantity, these usually do not sell by single pieces) is around 6 cents a Gig so about $7680. I could very well be wrong though, it's been a while since I heard pricing of DC SSDs.

To be honest, that doesn't seem unreasonable. Obviously it's steep for a homelab project but I could see small-medium sized businesses buying that for on-prem needs.

#9I really want a denser SSD to store my photo collection. My current small form factor PC has two NVME PCIe slots and no room for SATA drives. I have two 4 TB SSDs in there right now and it seems that consumer SSDs basically cap out at 4 TB. I would really love to get about 16 TB in my computer.

You can get 8tb drives, but they're well over 2x the cost of 4tb drives. An external USB drive or multi-drive enclosure may be more prudent though.
