Unless we start with 3.5" SSDs (pls), HDDs will always be storage kings. Imagine 3.5" SSDs with 3-4 layer sandwiched PCBs…And inexpensive NAND…

Pretty much yes, it counts :D Moreover, iirc, there are 64TB 2,5" SSDs and 100TB 3,5" available for enterprise users, and 8TB M.2 SSDs on consumer market. Space is really not a constraint.
