High capacity SSDs come in 2.5" and 3.5" form factors.

(Note that the Samsungs are 30.72 TB 2.5" drives - the URL dropped the decimal point.)
This is one of the best (I mean worst) examples of the "Apple knows better what we want/need than we do" attitude.
It's name-calling to say "spinning rust", when in fact the 2.5" and to a lesser extent the 3.5" form factor are the basis for the newest SSD NVMe technology for high capacity.
You might not want a handful of 30 TB SSDs in your MP7,1 - but don't try to shut down the idea for the people who may.
$10,000 for a 15TB drive. ...That 30TB should be the cost of a good Honda Pilot.
I think I'll wait for the 15TB drive to drop in price. Hopefully to $600 one day.
