The article is about consumer hard drives, but I guess if you have an infinite budget and access to any hardware you want there's no point at looking at hard drives. If we take my case at home, I would need about 30 TB of total capacity to be at ease. Let's disregard my previous comment about backups of backups and go for "just" 60 TB total capacity. Where I live I can only reliably source 14 TB hard disks at €400 a piece and 4 TB SATA SSDs for €550 (I didn't look at NVME since the number of ports possible on one machine is too small). So I would need 5 disks for 2000€ or 15 SSDs for 8250€. Almost any motherboard comes with 6 SATA ports but for the SSDs I would need to add at least one PCI Express raid card to get more SATA ports. FWIW I could buy the cheapest new car available in France for the same price as the SSDs (Dacia Sandero base model).
