Did they have to reduce cost or is there any other reason to not stick 20TB of SSDs in a box and call it a day? 4TB SSDs only cost ~$300, even HP or Dell SFF drives aren't much more expensive.
I guess they were interested in doing the testing and optimization for fun. From a product standpoint I probably would have invested my limited time in other projects.
