That also depends on the controller. The biggest thing is the cost of the memory chips. They make 1TB drives.

Shouldn't they be able to increase capacity 6 or 8 times just by offering a 3.5" package? Or is it because most servers now are built around 2.5" drives? Do RAID's not scale well with SSD's because of the same rebuild issues plaguing spinning disks?
