Despite the extravagant cost, the introduction of a 4TB SSD is actually a good sign for the future of computer storage media. It won’t be long before high-capacity SSDs will become mainstream enough to be affordable for regular consumers in the same way that the industry transitioned from gigabyte hard drives to terabyte ones.
In the meantime, a fast lower-capacity SSD coupled with a high-capacity but slower traditional hard drive will remain the build of choice for computer enthusiasts for a few more years to come. Alfred Bayle
