SSDs are great. Quieter, can be denser, faster, available in small sizes for small money, more reliable, etc. But they're not great for low cost bulk storage.

SSDs are great. Quieter, can be denser, faster, available in small sizes for small money, more reliable, etc.
But they're not great for low cost bulk storage. If you're putting together a home NAS, you probably want to do well on $/TB and don't care so much about transfer speeds.
But if you've found 10TB+ ssds for under $200, let us know where to find them.
