    Prices are quite frankly ridiculous (10 times larger than the HDD).
    What's the point if the consumer cannot possibly get them?
    Data centers?
    Come on, SSD's were already out in the market for a long time before this... and cheapest 4TB ssd costs at much as 16TB HDD.

    Prices are still too high

    Yeah, agree that prices are wacked, but it's not just capacity you're getting either. Try filling up an HDD with small files with an 18TB capacity. Not fun.

    I know, but still, doesn't justify the ridiculous prices (which were supposed to be on par or better than HDD's in terms of capacities by now)

    Shoulda-have-been and supposed-to-be are irrelevant.

    If what you're doing is sped up enough to warrant the price right now, then you do it. If not, don't.

    What someone predicted 10 years ago means little in today's environment and economy.

    Therefore, a NAS with multiple drives and a Core CPU with a 10GbE or greater connection is still in use (and usually superior too if DATA availability/redundancy is important).
