Micron just demoed the world's fastest SSD with PCIe 6.x tech, a sequential read speed of 27GB/s, and yes, it's just a prototype for now

The next monster hunter is gonna require this in the specs

It wasn't that long ago when RAM had similar transfer speeds.
With PCIe 6, consumer grade SSDs shouldn't need more than a single lane. That will be nice since AMD and Intel have been pretty skimpy with the PCIe lanes lately.

the problem at least in the shortrun, is that if you got that many ssds running in single lane on a consumer platform at the likely inflated cost the drives would be, it would almost be cheaper just to get the workstation platform at that point.

I just want bigger drives... I feel like we've been stuck at 1TB for at least a decade.

You can get spinning rust all the way up to 32 TB in a single 3.5" disk and 8 TB in an NVMe drive. The tech is out there, but it takes time for the price of stuff like that to come down when there isnt much demand for it.

When do we start needing active coolers for our drives?

What are you talking about?
My laptop SSD is 2tb and I got it 3 years ago.

I refuse to believe there isn't much demand for it when we have MicroSD cards approaching 2TB.

One step above what I had back in 2012? What exactly does that say about progress in capacity?

I do think the demand decreased in the past decade. The average consumer has their photos and documents in the cloud and signs up to streaming services for movies, shows, and music.

Enterprise NVMe drives have some active cooling, but it's mostly due to high density

It's twice the amount you were complaining about, and there are bigger drives than the one I have.

fair point, even the MicroSD market would target the mobile user and not so much a desktop.

There's lots of demand for large drives, it's mostly for enterprise drives though.

Yeah, my 2013 black 1TB cost like 100β¬ so 12 years ago, prices are going down but not really falling off a cliff lol.

What about latency though?

i have a samsung 2.5" ssd and it actually would benefit from active cooling. when i installed my os, downloaded my steam games, and then made a copy of one (because steam insists on updating which breaks mods) and noticed that write speed was slow af...so i tested with kdiskmark and all speeds were exactly at 75mb/s while they should be at like 550. it throttled to keep temperature under 60c.
