I foresee two types for popular SSDs.
1. MLC at 512GB-1TB is all that needed for the boot/app drives for the next 5 years. They're already at decent prices, 3D stacked chips and another smaller process should be possible within 5 years to bring 1TB to about 200$.
2. TLC at 4TB+ for media/archival storage. I'd foresee 2TB TLC drive at 100$ within 5 years.
