To add a bit of perspective, the 4tb m.2 ssd that I just bought for around $300USD would fill a cube that is a bit over a football field in length, width, and height.
It would cost about $44 billion before inflation is factored in, or $487 billion with inflation included.
It would also use an insane amount of electricity, be a ton slower, and likely generate an enormous amount of heat.
Hoping I did the math correctly. Haven’t had coffee.
It’s 0,000075 USD per mb now with your example, which is about 146 666 666 times cheaper.

Might be faster if all drives are connected in parallel
