If we have ssd’s that exceed the 2tb mark, why are RAM modules still limited in size?

Question

I understand that even the fastest nvme drive is way slower than RAM, but surely that isn’t the only reason we don’t see 1tb memory modules on the market. I was only able to find 512gb modules in my searching, and that was for servers.

Answer 1

Because there is no need for it.

If you aren’t actively using your RAM you gain literally nothing by adding more to your system. There is no incentive to manufacture huge 1tb ram modules at scale.
