I think 26tb is the current largest.
I got this exact WD 22tb for $330 last year, during the inventory oversupply that was hitting storage makers. Too many drives, stock prices dropped. It's now reversed course, and a shortage is coming again. Stocks at all time highs, drive prices climbing.
In other words, if you want a drive, buy it now.

HDD/SSD/chips are a cyclical business. The next downcycle may be a year away, 2025.
