    It wasn’t that long ago when RAM had similar transfer speeds.

    With PCIe 6, consumer grade SSDs shouldn’t need more than a single lane. That will be nice since AMD and Intel have been pretty skimpy with the PCIe lanes lately.

      the problem at least in the shortrun, is that if you got that many ssds running in single lane on a consumer platform at the likely inflated cost the drives would be, it would almost be cheaper just to get the workstation platform at that point.

    I just want bigger drives… I feel like we’ve been stuck at 1TB for at least a decade.

      You can get spinning rust all the way up to 32 TB in a single 3.5" disk and 8 TB in an NVMe drive. The tech is out there, but it takes time for the price of stuff like that to come down when there isnt much demand for it.

        I refuse to believe there isn’t much demand for it when we have MicroSD cards approaching 2TB.
