[Solved] 8TB SSD (when affordable)?

The specs say you can use up to 4TB of NVME 2280. There are now 8TB drives just appearing on the market (viz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JSMKW3J, by no means affordable yet, but will probably scale down to $200 during the lifetime of this laptop. Will that be usable or is there an issue like we saw with IDE drives and some RAM technologies, like “not enough pins to address > 4TB”? Not a big deal (but if it’s easy to fix, now’s the time). P.S. Thanks for all that you do, Framework Team!

There shouldn’t be any issue with using 8TB. We may not offer those directly any time soon, but they should be compatible.
