I was talking about the price of a 128GB SSD vs. what you could get in an HDD for the same price. Not "what is the maximum size SSD available".

A cheap 128GB SSD would be around $40-50 while you can get 3TB HDDs for that price.

Both storage types will have comparable prices at 128GB, and their cost per GB will decrese at different rates as you increase storage capacity. It's not fair to compare pricing between different storage capacities across different storage types, that is why I have shared 1TB drives from the same vendor.

Also, a cheap 128GB SSD is way less than the price you have suggested, even a 120GB Kingston SSD is only $20.
