I'll wait and see how much the 300TB SSDs cost, when they get to market, then think of all the things I could buy with that, no doubt substantial, sum of money...

I wouldn't be surprised if it cost significantly more than a good pc.
That's a lot of storage space there, I doubt it's even in the same post code as cheap.

Finally, a place to store my ever-growing collection of Linux ISOs! Just need a couple of these (and add one for redundancy), and I'm all set for a month or two!

The Solidigm 61.44 TB SSD currently exceeds $6,000. (It was obtainable for $3,600 shortly after market availability, but even that is around the ballpark of a good PC.)

So if the cost of a 300 TB SSD scales linearly, $30,000 is a probable estimate. A drop in NAND prices similar to what happened in 2022/2023 might bring it down to $15,000.

I would be happy with a 16TB SSD at 2000MB/s if it's at price parity with a 16TB 3.5" HDD.
#MeToo .... No need for a blistering speed for an SSD drive on a consumer NAS just more TB would be my priority. Especially if you need to pump the data over the net work. You can always add a blisteringly fast M.2 drive as a drive cache of you have an extremely fast 10G plus network.
