Why do you people need a terabyte of SSD storage?

MedicSimple, storage needs are evolving. I have a NAS on my home network to stream videos and archive old photos and files that are used for business in RAID, my network is fast enough at 1 Gbps, but spinning disks, with all their TBs of storage, are a read/write bottleneck. Also, in most recent years, SSD failure rates have gotten much better, to the point that they are more reliable than their HDD counterparts.
And just in case I need to cite my sources, Geoff Gasior, an editor for techreport.com tortured 6 SSDs to death, 2 of which survived to write 2.1 PB of information. 2.1 Petabytes is 2,100 Terabytes for those who do not know. Also, worthy of note is that these drives are of the 250 GB variety and had no idea what they signed up for. A 1TB + SSD has better flash controllers to handle higher read/write loads and durability.
