Unfortunately you'll be waiting for a while. SSDs were at the lowest last year to the point that manufacturers were almost losing money. So they reduced production. We will only see the prices going up from now, at least for a while.
You can't really even find a 10+ TB SSD easily right now let alone anything approaching 20, so it's a moot point for now anyway. All that pricing stuff is cyclical though. There was a big spike in SSD prices a couple years ago prior to that huge price drop we just saw. It'll come back down again eventually.
We just moved over to a HDD setup recently because I had run out of space on SSD and the amount of space is great, but I forgot how much I hate HDD seek and transfer times and I'm not gonna invest in RAID for now so I guess this is my life.
Might be smart to maybe keep my most active shows on an SSD and the rest of the catalog on the HDD.
An HDD's sequential transfer speed is good enough. If seeking is a problem, don't do whatever you did.
Seagate rather invents new tech to create 30TB HAMR drives than making 3.5" SSDs and laying 3/4 PCBs with each 2TB TLC capacity in the caddy...
Can't be that expensive in comparison to squeezing 10TB on a 2.5" drive.
