So could I build a petabyte NAS that’s all flash for ~$15k?

You don’t need an SSD for that

I highly doubt this will be true by 2027, perhaps sometime in the next 10-15 years…

I fucking knew the moment I bought a top of the line Nvme drive, they’d come up with some breakthrough like this soon after

If you wait for the next best/cheaper thing with computers you’re never going to stop waiting

Yeah, that’s usually the reasoning that gets me to finally upgrade

Man I paid $100 cad for a 60 gig ssd in 2012 and I thought that was cheap, around the time they were closing into $1/gig, I’ve bought a few 256gig crucial data ssds for drive swaps on old machines and for family and they’re all around $50 and you can actually use them as more than a boot drive, heck the 256 gig nvme drive and enclosure I grabbed as an external drive was under $100, it’s wild how cheap storage has gotten in a decade.

Yeah, I was doing the inventory of what storage I have lying around and stumbled upon the very first (126Go) SSD I bought as a boot drive when they were just starting to reach the 1€/GB mark. It has since been replaced by a 200€ gen 5 nvme with 1TB capacity. Shit’s wild indeed

You got 4-6 years to reach this price realistically.

That’s just how computers work, man. I paid $600 for 32 GB of DDR5 RAM when it was cutting edge and just came out. 6 months later the same ram was like $200.

I’m sure manufacturers will figure out how to make them $1000
