    It will probably be a choice of quieter, faster, expensive vs loud, high capacity, pretty cheap.

    Unless we start with 3.5" SSDs (pls), HDDs will always be storage kings.
    Imagine 3.5" SSDs with 3-4 layer sandwiched PCBs…And inexpensive NAND…

      Why is 3.5" preferable? You can always use a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter, and even 2.5" casing is mostly empty anyway

        More volume for more NAND-PCBs

        and even 2.5" casing is mostly empty anyway

        Does this count for the higher capacity drives (e.g. >2TB)? Preferably TLC?

          Proud owner of 1TB Samsung 860 Evo.

          Pretty much yes, it counts :D

          Moreover, iirc, there are 64TB 2,5" SSDs and 100TB 3,5" available for enterprise users, and 8TB M.2 SSDs on consumer market. Space is really not a constraint.
