SSD capacity could quadruple by 2029 — 8Tb NAND will bring big and affordable SSDs to the market

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Spinning platters are already dead in many ways because even though they've increased in capacity, they haven't meanigfully changed read/write speeds in decades, which makes moving the ever increasing data a huge pain.
This is it. Yes, spinning HDDs may be cheaper, but replacing mine with an SSD made my PC faster and quieter, especially on boot.
Not really relevant, but I just moved 150ish GB between SSDs in a few minutes, less than 5 for sure. As a teenager such an operation (moving 3 games between drives) would have taken an hour. As a kid I'd be furiously changing floppy drives all day.
I just thought that was an interesting thought.
