This might be a dumb question, so sorry if it is, but why are we still using HDD over SSDs?

I know SSDs have a higher cost, but that’s usually because of their smaller form factor, trying to shove 1TB in something smaller than my fingers.

What I am mainly curious about is why isn’t there an SSD that fits the 3.5” form factor so that the drives can go in NASs and servers, but is filled with 16TB of Solid State memory over Hard Drive?
