There are already 2TB SSDs available for less than 80€ and prices are expected to go even lower.

I agree with Artic Mine and believe storage is not going to be a problem for Monero and that the only real bottleneck is upload speed.

What do you think?

I wonder if the monero blockchain could be made with more sequential reads and writes than random reads and rights in order to increase storage speeds. Maybe that is already happening?

more sequential reads and writes

That mainly speeds up syncing for HDDs right? I am not sure but I think the nature of the blockchain might make sequential reading and writing impossible.

It seems to help on SSDs, just not as much

The point you made about it being impossible due to the nature of the blockchain is probably right,. Sequential writes might be possible because you don't edit the previous parts of the blockchain, sequential reads wouldn't work because you need to read the past of the blockchain in order to verify transactions
