How much would 18TB of SSDs cost compared to 18TB of HDDs? Probably a big reason why many go for HDDs still today.

SSDs are still roughly 3x per $/Tb. You can get a 8Tb QVO SATA drive for a like ~$300 so... ~$40/Tb

Where are you seeing 8TB (assuming you meant TB and Tb) for $300?

At Amazon. Guess I needed to check it better. Also I shouldn't did it in a bar. sigh

Anyway, I have a spreadsheet with both the prices and $/Gb/Tb so I just copy the relevant part here and hope formatting would persist:

    $/Tb Item Interface Capacity Price, $
     $90 SSD 4Tb Samsung 870 QVO (MZ-77Q4T0BW) SATA3 4000 $359
     $96 SSD 2Tb Samsung 870 QVO (MZ-77Q2T0BW) SATA3 2000 $192
    $102 USB 1Tb SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go (SDDDC3-1T00-G46) USB 1000 $102
    $103 SSD Samsung PM1643a MZILT3T8HBLS-00007 3.84T (root) SAS 3840 $394
    $104 SSD 4Tb Samsung 870 EVO (MZ-77E4T0BW) SATA3 4000 $417
    $105 SSD 2Tb Transcend 225S (TS2TSSD225S) SATA3 2000 $210
    $106 SSD 4Tb Transcend 230S (TS4TSSD230S) SATA3 4000 $425
    $107 SDXC 2Tb MicroSD SanDisk Extreme (SDSQXAV-2T00-GN6MN) SDXC 2000 $215
    $109 SSD 2Tb Samsung 870 EVO (MZ-77E2T0BW) SATA3 2000 $217
    $111 SSD 2Tb Kingston KC600 Series (SKC600/2048G) SATA3 2000 $223
    $115 SSD 8Tb Samsung 870 QVO (MZ-77Q8T0BW) SATA3 8000 $923
    $128 SSD 7.68Tb Samsung PM9A3 (MZQL27T6HBLA-00A07) OEM U.2 7680 $985
    $129 SSD 1Tb Samsung 870 EVO (MZ-77E1T0BW) SATA3 1000 $129
    $134 SSD 3.2Tb Intel P4610 Series (SSDPE2KE032T801) U.2 3200 $430
    $140 SSD 1.6Tb Intel P4610 Series (SSDPE2KE016T801) U.2 1600 $224

So 8Tb QVO are $115/TB.
