I always enjoy reading about Backblaze updates. New Pod designs, drive statistics, operations, etc... One thing I am particularly excited about is the future Pod designs with 2.5 inch drives. There may be enough miniaturization with magnetic drives to make this feasible, but I expect that the real transition will come with a Pod full of SSD. Any idea when that might happen? What is the expectation for that timeline? Do you have additional products or price/performance improvements planned in that transition? The SSD endurance experiment from 4 years ago indicates that, reliability wise, they are more than ready. I guess the only limitation now is price and maybe processing?
