As stated in other posts : "We don't care about increase in size, we want a lower price per TB". We all know they can achieve 20TB in a single 3,5" HDD.

You can have a 100TB HDD, we really don't care if it's still 30€/$ per TB...
It's like a competition of "who has the biggest" but without any purpose. They won't sell in B2C market. It's only B2B for these kinds of things.
