As drives get bigger and bigger,..then exposure to data loss rises exponentially!
The need for redundancy will also grow as these drives get larger.
Imagine losing a 60TB drive and the data it holds.
Essentially that would mean at the very least, the most basic of redundancy plans,..you'd need to mirror,..which means you'd need at least 2 identical drives.
But who know what the future holds,...in 5-7 years a LOT Of things could change or be totally obsolete.
That's why,...I don't like the term "future-proofing". But that's another subject.

It says 30 to 60TB. I'd believe 30TB by the end of the decade, but not 60TB.
