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

    SSDs have gotten much cheaper. 10 years ago, they were over $0.50/GB, now they're just over $0.04/GB That's over 12 times cheaper.

    You can get a 2tb ssd for $85. 10 years ago a 2tb ssd would've been super expensive and very boogie.

    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.
