I'm not going to defend the Pro exactly, but out of curiosity what is your usecase for needing so much storage on a console? Multiple users? Bad Internet? I feel like I have a max of 1-3 active games at a time, and can just delete and download/install them as needed. Works just fine for me so I feel like something else must be going on.
I have a 2TB SSD plugged into my 1TB Xbox. It's all full. Average game size is 50+ gb these days. Some games easily surpass 100gb. Even with my better-than-average 300mbps connection games can easily take over an hour to download. No fucking way I'm only keeping 1-3 games and downloading as needed.
I guess an hour just isn't a long time to me, I don't have a lot of time to play games so I tend to plan ahead. I use the PS app to download games to my console remotely. With the numbers you're saying, are you really suggesting that you've got something like 20-40 games that you need to be able to play at a moment's notice? I'm honestly not trying to criticise I just can't relate.
