Although i think before that, HDDs would likely become extremely competitive since they would actually be forced to lower cost some substantial amount.

I think you have it backwards. The SSD manufacturers are always going to see their product as better than HDD performance wise so they'll likely always have a higher price per capacity.

that's possible, but idk. I don't really see why i would want an 8TB ssd that can run at 4GB/s unless im literally a data center, so i think at some point the higher capacity ones are just going to have to be cheaper and more affordable. I.E. probably slower.
