are you only asking/observing yourself and your tech-savvy friends?

cloud storage doesn’t make local storage irrelevant. just less relevant. drives still fail, new machines are built, etc, etc. and when that happens to the average consumer, they don’t seek out the biggest drive available. just whatever is down the street.

and just down the street doesn’t want to stock dozens of massive drives, lest the average consumers balk at the prices.
