There aren’t many full open-source solutions available, but you can buy 100TB 3.5” SSDs for data center use.[1] At Storage Pod densities, that’s 6000TB in 4U. I’m not sure if some other factor comes in that limits density, but that’s a first-order estimate.

Heat dissipation may be a concern, but, if we are talking 6PB of flash storage, we can pretty much consider custom liquid cooling is an option.
