    Its already been 6 years since the first 100TB SSD released and I still don’t think anyone has bothered to dethrone it last I checked. Density and number of layers possible have both increased since then. I imagine part of it is just a performance issue though; 10 10TB SSDs are gonna be faster than 1 100TB SSD.

    At the consumer level, the usage of smaller form factors will probably mean more density will still be useful. Things like the steamdeck drives will benefit for a while.

      64TB ssds are fairly common in the enterprise market now, I don’t think they were 6 years ago. It’s possible we’ll see 128TB SSDs become fairly common on servers in a few years.
