I'm still completely boggled by today's 20tb spinners.
Y'know, when I was a lad, we had to carry a 14-inch full cartridge uphill through the snow for miles for a measly 100 megabytes ... yes mega, child, listen to me, ...

So when you have 1nm tolerance physical rotating devices, and two black holes collide a billion light years away, is that going to crash my 60tb drive?

By 2037 we may have affordable 8TB ssd's, but it's a 50:50 call.

A capacity increase, along with price decrease in the 2.5" SATA market would be welcome.
It's been stuck at 2TB - 7mm thickness and 5TB - 15mm forever.
A 6TB launched this year, but it's 19mm thick.

2.5" 8TB SSD prices are astronomical.

A capacity increase, but noting new about redundancy and RAIDs.
I cannot imagine how even raid6 with 60TB spinners will survive. Mirror with 60TB disks will require the eternity.

My only wish is that these companies work on reliability first. I'd like a HDD to last at least 10 years please.
