No one can afford it lol.
I cant afford current SSD, let alone this one.
SSD is too expensive 
They'll prolly be expensive as fuck for me to try to buy one
Still using HDD, I prefer cheaper drive then expensive one..
^ go hdd go hdd ^
Well HD are not totally done for yet......

I recommend you never even think about buying TLC based drives.
Samsung 840 TLCs are just good enough for most of the users.
yes ssd is too expensive. HDD will still have the buyers.
Nobody want to pay overpriced SSD, all my miner are still using HDD.

His information is absolutely correct, the most of MLC based drives have 3000-5000 P/E cycles limit, TLC is much worse. While SLC is able to provide billion P/E cycles (1000000 cycles for memory in my X25-E, for example)
Don't confuse SLC memory with MLC or shitty TLC scam memory. I recommend you never even think about buying TLC based drives.

SSDs make sense for end users and certain other use cases. But if it comes to large storage needs and data that needs to be overwritten a lot, they just don't do the trick. Blocks on an SSDs can only be written about 1000 times and they're still a lot more expensive than regular HDDs when it comes to large capacities.
Your information is way out of date:

Another limitation is that flash memory has a finite number of program-erase cycles (typically written as P/E cycles). Most commercially available flash products are guaranteed to withstand around 100,000 P/E cycles before the wear begins to deteriorate the integrity of the storage.[22] Micron Technology and Sun Microsystems announced an SLC NAND flash memory chip rated for 1,000,000 P/E cycles on 17 December 2008.[23]

Probably be more than $2,000 if you calculate it by price per gig.

Damn, 4TB of SSD? Thats legit nuts. I wonder how expensive that is.
Even with SSD being significantly cheaper than before... It would still be way to costy. With 4TB of SSD you could possibly even buy a NVidia Titan Z GPU 
So exactly what would you need 4 TB SSD storage for? Stop storing so many "movies". 
500GB would be perfect I assume to make it your main drive. This is enough (!) room for the OS and most programs. Then a 1-2TB second HDD would do for anything else.
The prices still have to come down if you ask me.
Many data science & statistic stuff and others generates a ton of data, that will need to be accessed at a fast speed.
So there is demand for the SSD high capacity disks, even if they are more expensive
SSD prices are still too high to abandon HDD.
buy one with 256 GB and you will feel the boost
I would upgrade my Computer right now if I had the money.
Sandisk announces 4TB SSD, hopes for 8TB next year.
"We see reaching the 4TB mark as really just the beginning and expect to continue doubling the capacity every year or two, far outpacing the growth for traditional HDDs," Manuel Martull, SanDisk's product & solutions marketing director, stated in an email reply to Computerworld.

Recently switched to a ssd drive, better than a processor, board and memory upgrade all at once!
