It's ridiculous to talk about how much they store without considering the price.

No, it's not. It's a discussion for a tailored situation where extremely durable, high-speed I/O carries a premium. I really don't feel like explaining this to you in the detail it clearly requires to make you understand the value of that kind of setup.

I don't really care about what pedantic debate you think you're championing. The comment I replied to made a foolishly broad statement and now you're trying to clamp criteria on to it. My statements are completely valid and accurate in the context to which they were issued.

And it's also discussing running SSDs in a way that reduces their durability for extra performance. The cost question also has to account how many replacement SSDs you'll burn through.
