      yeah i mean, theres no way lol. even if the tech gets here that quickly there’s 0% chance prices come down significantly on lower capacity drives. these’ll be at least $500 and possibly far far more

    20 TB at that price range could brankrupt some small cloud providers. Selfhosting would be much easier without having to worry about space. IF the price stays the same, but we’ll see.

    I get a sense that the tipping point for the final HDD to SSD transition will be soon. A lot of people are willing to spend a little more for SSD when the capacity-to-price is almost as good as HDD. I think this will first spike demand followed by spiked production followed by a significant drop in price after production ramps up (as long as the companies avoid any economic funny business).

      I build my NAS years ago and the drives are still doing fine. I can’t wait though to upgrade that thing to SSDs. This thing is loud and sucks a lot of power right now.

      Nah there are still use cases where longevity is most important. You can’t set an SSD in a closet for 20 years and expect to still have your data. HDDs also have longer active life expectancies AIUI.

    It would be amazing if PCIe lanes becomes the predominant limiting factor, rather than drive cost, for building large storage arrays. What a world it would be, when even Epyc and its lanes-for-days proves to be insufficient for large Chia miners err Plex servers uh, Linux ISO mirrors.

    Maybe I should put off building a NAS for the time being.

      Yeah…. I think I’ll still need to pick up some drives this year, but I might do less robust of a build out

        I’ve switched over to one disk redundancy to stretch out my spinning rust. If SSDs come down just a little bit more it’ll be worth it to replace my array. Just hoping two drives doesn’t die until then.

    Generally the more layers you add to an SSD the less robust it is. If this is real your data will be corrupt within a week.

      I mean you can say the same for spinning magnetic platters. “The more bits you’re trying to squeeze into a fixed size HDD the less robust it is.”

      I’m not saying these guys can do it, but dismissing higher densities of storage out of hand seems a bit glib considering the last 60 years of progress and innovation.

          Should work perfectly with Flatpack apps then!

        That’s never really been an issue with HDDs as far as I’m aware, although 10k rpm drives were known to be more fragile IIRC. The lower life and robustness of QLC vs SLC flash is well known.

      That is exactly what ppl like you said when SLC came out and TLC came out and QLC came out…

      Look back now.

      And they use far more energy. Meanwhile spinning disks can sit idle with all of my hoarded data.

        The Seagate Exos in my aray consume 8-9W each on idle, and 12-13W active. I doubt that a NVME would consume that much in idle, which will be most of the time for data storage.

        AFAIK power consumption increases with size on SSDs. And that’s not the case with spinning disks. That’s what I tried to point out, from the perspective of hoarding data (idle disks) bigger sizes are not something to be pursued. Then of course there’s the use case of needing a high volume fast storage (e.g. zfs cache), for which use case these are great!
