I wonder if these 30TB+ drives will ever come to the consumer realm.

I have a feeling that NAS-scale consumer SSD arrays will likely be a better option in the medium to long term.

24TB drives are readily available now. You can even get recertified ones fairly cheaply. I'm sure 30TB drives will be common soon.

I don't expect large SSDs to catch up to the price of HDDs anytime soon though.

I still use HDDs for mass/archival storage and will continue to do so, but I do think in 5-10 years SSD $/TB will be catch up to HDD (or come close enough where more and more people will choose SSDs).

We'll found out in 5-10 years. 😀
