How expensive are they, $100,000 or maybe more?
$4.5k from a quick search.
Edit: I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE THAT NUMBER CAME FROM LAST NIGHT

This states that a 32tb ssd costs roughly $7000
≈$35/TB or ≈3.4¢/GB Actually not a bad deal at all, consider the current SSD prices.
That's actually pretty reasonable.
I'm going to need a source for that, as it's well below even regular consumer SSDs.
Like I said, quick search, and unfortunately, I doubt anyone else looked it up. Soooo here is an article that says a 32tb cards goes for about $7000.

Hmm. As a personal user, 9k to not worry about storage space or redundancy, for at least a decade seems like a pretty great deal.
Looks like 40k a pop
