With hindsight I now see that the business incentive is far in the
favour of making bigger/faster drives to encourage people to upgrade,

upgrading/replacement.


You need to replace your failed hindsight. Most people upgrade because
they need more storage space within a limited number of drive bays, so
larger capacity drives at a reasonable price is what they will buy.


Thank you. That is exactly the situation I've been in for a couple of
decades now.


And I'm in another situation, and thereby in a market which the
manufacturers are not trying very hard to serve at all. Given the
variety of applications that HDD/SSDs may be put to, I suspect that
there are plenty who, like me, would appreciate drives designed with
a focus on improved reliability over storage space.

But I haven't got any figures for that, so I won't argue about it any
more, or at least against vague statements about the intentions of
"most people".
