What's the current price roughly?

I have not seen a consumer SSD of 10 or more TB for sale anywhere and absolutely not 20. So the answer is, I have no idea.

Samsung has started selling 8TB drives for around 500-600 which is really not that bad, but I'm just gonna wait a couple years for larger capacities to hit the market and skip 8. It's in my opinion kind of a middling size if you're archiving a lot of video.

For now I'll just stick with the high capacity HDD setup I'm using.

Guessing you've got some sort of raid setup going on. You could always get lower capacity SSDs and do some work on a revolutionary compression algo 😉

Last time I checked:
500GB = 50-70€
1TB = 60-80€
2TB = 110-150€ (depending on product tier like samsung evo or pro models)
4TB = 250-400€ (same here)
8TB = >600€

Obviously different pricing for M.2/SATA/SAS drives.
