2000 terabytes / 8 = 250 terabyte drives.

Do 250 terabyte ssds exist?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I like manufactures who try to future proof their products. However, considering we don't quite yet have 16tb 2280 cards, seems like 250/256 is a lil too far into the future to even be a consideration. Not only will we likely be on PCI e 7 or 8 by then, but good chance we won't even be using m.2 at that point!

I was wondering how they could get 8 drives with 4 lanes per drive to work with x16 slot
8 drives x 4 lanes per drive = 32 lanes required
