Can't wait for the day NAND memory reaches the same price/density of HDD, or at least closer. What it bothers me is that "slow" SATA SSDs cost as much as 6x faster NVME. When I looked at price to buy mine I just went with the faster, price difference was negligible.

Hope this means bigger capacity than 2tb, I was looking at the Samsung 860 evo 4tb SSD but id rather have a M.2 NVMe 4tb but Samsung dont have them yet, only 2tb And as soon as i see anything saying QLC am just not interested

Personally waiting for cheap 4 TB SSD, doesn't matter if it's the slowest SSD in the market (it'll still be faster and should last longer than any HDD). I'd put a few in an DS620Slim and be happy with a small and silent NAS.

I do not think this will become a thing anytime soon across all capacities with hhds pushing well over 20tb .... But on sweet spots 2-4tb range ... Now that seems a much closer target!

HDDs may be pushing higher capacities, but most consumers don't buy that large capacity units: they're more common on server racks. As you said, 2 to 4 Tb sweet spot. Although we are far away from it yet, it won't take another decade for SSDs to completely replace HDDs for consumers.

Yeah we are in agreement almost 😛 i think hdds will still have a spot on home pcs . While most likely in 5 or so years 2-4 tb ssd will be priced in that level that will make em the obvious choice... I can also see the hdd sweetspot moving to 8-12 tb i would still like one for bulk files etc etc. Hell that's what my 2 and 3tb hdds do in my system ! But i have to admit is rather annoying when i try to access one for it to start spinning 2-4 seconds on the other hand i ripped in there any dvd and cd game i own in isos ! I access em maybe once per week ...maybe 2.
