It seems rather optimistic that there will still be hard drives by then.
I can recall six years out from the end of floppy disks that it was
already pretty obvious that they were going to be gone soon. I get the
same feeling with HDD's.

How much will a 50TB SSD cost versus Seagate's 50TB HDD?
Spinning drives will be around until the cost of SSD storage
reaches parity with them.

Samsung 4 TB SSD: $450
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Inch-SATA-Internal-Gray/dp/B07L3CLM2B/
Seagate 12 TB HD: $313
https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-IronWolf-12TB-Internal-Drive/dp/B075XPBD5B/
So it looks like HD's are 23% of the current price of an SSD. That is a
big difference to make up.

Yup. I wonder when huge SSDs will be similar and cheaper to their HDDs.

At least you said 'when' and not 'if'. Over the past few years, SSD prices have been falling steadily, and sometimes in big chunks, so it's probably just a matter of time. It's hard to guess when that will be, so I'll play
it safe and say 'less than two years'. BICBW

With hindsight I now see that the business incentive is far in the
favour of making bigger/faster drives to encourage people to upgrade,
rather than longer-term reliable drives which would discourage >upgrading/replacement.

You need to replace your failed hindsight. Most people upgrade because
they need more storage space within a limited number of drive bays, so
larger capacity drives at a reasonable price is what they will buy.

Thank you. That is exactly the situation I've been in for a couple of
decades now.
