> storage devices with twice the volume and 50% or more storage

More the opposite, really - same capacity in lower volume. The people who buy most disks are a lot less concerned with capacity per disk than capacity per rack. Sometimes capacity per kW or capacity per BTU, but mostly capacity per m^3 in my direct experience. I also suspect that a lot of consumers would prefer the same capacity in a smaller package, since they mostly boot off flash and their disk is basically a cache for much larger amounts of data elsewhere.
