However, such a drive is getting heavily into diminishing returns territory.
e.g. a 20TB drive from Seagate is $500. A 4TB drive is $70, 8TB is $140. Getting the same spend in smaller capacity drives would give you 28TB in the 4TB drives and 24TB/32TB in the 8TB drives (for $80 under/$60 over).
Add in a second to rotate and you're spending $1000 in drives, assuming these 26TB drives replace the 20TB drives at a similar price when they trickle down to consumer hands.
