  here is a 4TB SSD –
  https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=1Z4-0015-00036&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Internal+SSDs-_-1Z4-0015-00036&gclid=CLrIgtSep8cCFUyPHwodhnEE5g&gclsrc=aw.ds

  $5649 each. So how much will this 16 TB SSD cost. And if we put that in a 16 bay array (sixteen 16TB SSD) – which will be super fast, and super big – how much will that cost. And who will be willing to pay that cost (except for OpenDrive’s customers).
