One of the big advantages of early flash storage was read durability, so that even when a drive was past it's useful write lifetime you could still read from it. That's not the case anymore, between wear-leveling technologies and higher bit densities.

I would love large write-once flash disks that would last for 20+ years in storage. There's a ton of archival data out there.
