    Probably tens of thousands of dollars and only available to enterprise.

    That being said, eventually SSD sizes (even for consumers) will start approaching a single PB (at first). The HDD in my first PC was 1.5 GB, this was ~1997. These days even entry level smartphones go for ~$150 and tend to have around 64 GB storage.

      I realize prices go down eventually but I specifically mentioned the example of the 4TB SSDs. I did not specify the time period but last I checked it has been 3 years and those prices hadn’t gone down a dollar

        SN850X 4TB is $275 on partpicker so it looks like prices have almost halved. Although I do agree that price/tb hasn’t been decreasing last enough

          Yeah, I saw similar drops the other day when I checked. It may have been the pandemic keeping them from dropping for a while.
