That's right, S.Yu. At the smaller end, the argument for an HDD over an SSD is a difficult one to make now with the increase in cost being a small part of the overall build budget. At the upper end, the value tied up in a single high-capacity drive is prohibitive.

Last time I checked, the sweet spot was around 6-8 TB for good capacity vs $/TB vs keeping each unit affordable. Around 4 TB was generally where the $/TB were best.

The $/GB metric isn't really falling at all lately so that's definitely gonna further affect uptake in a shrinking market, and off the shelf NAS should mean a further (meaningless) premium over the drive.

Western Digital's largest 16 TB and 18 TB Ultrastar and WD Gold drives can now be sold to smaller customers, including system integrators and those that service small/medium business. Could start to appear in pro-grade NAS equipment.
