That's double what the current USB 3.1 Gen 2 can do, but it could be a while before it reaches the market.

50GB + for a single game easily.

Netflix is also starting to do 4k and allowing for downloading content. This makes it easier than streaming since you can download overnight and watch it anytime and not chew up your internet.

Phones are recording 4k videos and keeping this content on your phone will just take up space.

Media in general is taking up more and more space. The only people really getting illegal content are likely youth. Heck, before Steam I used to get pirated games too. Now pirated games for pc and android are the biggest source of malware/virus distribution. Especially new ones no one knows about.

    Regardless of whether the content is illegal or not fact is that we are always going to need more space.Even if you download the content legally and pay legitimate prices fact is you will need more space.Speed and Effeciency go together has nothing to do with Legal or Illegal content and furthermore it has more implications than storage.

        64GB can house the full Windows 10 Pro Operating System.
        128GB can do the same, and leave a bit of storage behind.
        256GB can do so, and leave actually usable/decent/modern amount of storage.

        ...combine a SSD with a 2TB HDD which can store your backups and home videos, well you're set for a number of years.

            They did a complete mess with the numbering.
            You could think that integers are over past number 3

Problem is in mainstream users, they want big space for low price to keep illegal content on their drives. I got on laptop 128 gb ssd and no problems with it. On desktop I got 256gb ssd.

                    when will be the SSD be affordable?

                    I hope our laptop will be replaced with UFS, no more HDD or SSD.
                    at lower cost...

                      With the sort of cons, and pros, finally it is a good news obviously anyway.
