Interesting, but as a consumer (and photographer) who likes all my images on one drive and backed up to other single drives, I would like 8TB drives to be cheaper (as expected for years now) and by now, for 12 and 16 TB drives to be available and even common. Right now, I'm filling 6.3 TB on my 8TB main data (PCIs 4 M.2) drive on my PC Motherboard. I am backing up to 8TB internal and external SATA SSDs. No spinners in my life now and absolutely no RAID or any type of stack or array. No way.... I want single drives with it all on there - main and backups.
I would buy five 10TB PCIE 4 M.2 SSDs right now if I could, and I would expect them to be around 400 bucks each by now.
But I guess I'm still dreaming.

For a thought experiment, lets examine the potential of AI training that use high speed storage in place of memory. This is credible because AI training is bottlenecked by bandwidth - not latency, and SSD speed is growing leaps and bounds. First, a 8hi stack of HBM3e has 1.2TB/s bandwidth and Nvidia B200 has 8 of those. This resulted in 9.6TB/s aggregated bandwidth, which appears to be tall order for SSD. Now a speedy Pcie 5.0 x4 SSD has arround 15GB/s, so we need 9.6*1000/15=640 SSDs work in parallel to match HBM solution. This number is reduced to 320 SSDs if we use to Pcie 6.0 (160 for pcie 7.0 and 80 for 8.0) and requires a total of 1280 pcie lanes.

Nand flash technology begins to outpace the interface it uses to connect. The main issue is shifting to Pcie not providing enough bandwidth, a direct result of the PCI-SIG being caught offguard by the AI boom. We may need a new interface pretty soon for the ever growing AI storage bandwidth need.

Please don't back up anything you plan to keep to an SSD for long term storage. It's fine if it is in a system. But your post seems to indicate you plan on archiving things to SSDs and storing them offline for later use. SSDs lose charge in about 3-12 months without being powered on and refreshed. They are a very poor choice for long term archival storage.

and if you think your ssd does not need to be defragged ....You are not in my league.
