    Aside from the epic fab problems happening everywhere, this is quite unlikely. Tech in general seems to have got a bit stuck for nand. Stacking beyond 96 layers seems to be problematic, qlc already is some pretty fragile memory, and smaller nodes are being used by other products in preference.

    Rapid growth in SSD size appears to a ways off currently, pending some new tech.

      I know.

      But if it weren't for speed we could go all out on size. 1tb in a microsdxc… If we were ok with 50mb/s we should have 50tb in a 2.5" form factor :/

        That would literally be the most pointless thing ever. To even fill a card that size using those speeds would quite literally take more than a year and a half.

              @Tacooo: That's cool. But my point was illustrative rather than literal anyway.

          @Tacooo: It's also not related to filling, it's random io that's just atrocious on a hdd. I'd love a cheap 8tb ssd that could only do 100mb/s sequential, but say 10mb/s at 4k rw, for VMs. Currently hdds are just atrocious as OS media.

    You can already get SSDs larger than 8TB, but they’re all basically enterprise drives, and are way more expensive.

  $100/Tb versus the (current) $35/Tb for spinning rust… It's getting harder to justify any bulk storage upgrades with HDDs anymore

    That's still ~3x more. If you need large amounts of storage, e.g. NAS (20TB+) it works out to a significant difference, especially after factoring backups and redundancy.

      Switchblade88 on 15/09/2021 - 09:37

      That gap was ~5x more only a year or two ago.

      If you factor in additional benefits like throughout speed, power consumption, noise, and so on, then the scales really start to balance out. I'm tired of bulk moving things around at 100Mb/s.

      At this point I think I'll max my current HDDs to near capacity then start to add ssds to my array. I've still got at least 12 months of capacity left so we'll see if the situation changes.

        Yeah, obviously depends on the use case. For me anything that needs more performance just goes on the cache SSD.

        Just to clarify, modern large mechanical drives operate around 250MB/s for bulk large moves 👍
