Seems SSDs are reaching the end game with ~8TB on a 2.5" platter. Now you just need to nail the peak of $/GB, I'm looking at both 870 EVO / QVO, they have 4TB

Seems SSDs are reaching the end game with ~8TB on a 2.5" platter. Now you just need to nail the peak of $/GB, I'm looking at both 870 EVO / QVO, they have 4TB versions for $300. For "write once" or append only data these could work well, think user registry or sequential log. But you need to offload the active data on SLC drives or take the risk of the wearing driver firmware in the exact devices you buy/patch. The OS needs to be on SLC anyhow.
