    Why is 3.5" preferable? You can always use a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter, and even 2.5" casing is mostly empty anyway

      More volume for more NAND-PCBs

      and even 2.5" casing is mostly empty anyway

      Does this count for the higher capacity drives (e.g. >2TB)? Preferably TLC?

        Proud owner of 1TB Samsung 860 Evo.

        Pretty much yes, it counts :D

        Moreover, iirc, there are 64TB 2,5" SSDs and 100TB 3,5" available for enterprise users, and 8TB M.2 SSDs on consumer market. Space is really not a constraint.
