Spinning platter capacity can’t keep up with SSDs. HDDs are just starting to break the 30TB mark and SSDs are shipping 50+. The cost delta per TB is closing fast. You can also have always on compression and dedupe in most cases with flash, so you get better utilization.

The cost per terabyte is why hard disk drives are still around. Once the cost for the SSD is only maybe 10% higher is when the former will be obsolete.
