    Ok, so you confirm that I’m not mistaken and you can’t currently have a single module 16TB SSD? AFAIK, even 8TB is pushing it.

    And I treat it as a single module in the comic because it says “16TB SSD” singular, as opposed to something like “16TB worth of SSDs”.

      You can get 16TB, or even more, but not consumer grade, I can confirm that. But I have seen MSI laptops with 2 SSDs in RAID 0 advertised as one number singular in summary, just like in the comic, since it makes no difference to the user.

      Funnily enough, the weirder part is actually 25TB HDD. There are 24TB HDDs and even 26TB HDDs but to my knowledge, there is no single module 25TB HDD. And with that capacity, it can’t even be any reasonable RAID setup. The only factorization is 5x5 and 5TB HDD are also not really a thing. That number is the nonsensical one.
