- bcrl 6y agoWow, I'm getting downvoted for pointing out something relevant to compare against the article. It's relevant because what is a $40,000 SSD today is probably going to be 10-20 times cheaper in 2030 if trends over the past decade hold up. A 32GB SSD cost $85 in 2010. A $99 SSD in March 2021 gets you 1TB. It follows that in 2032, a 30TB SSD will be costing around $110. I don't see how a 100TB HDD will compete in that kind of market.
