$12,000 * 1000/122 is about $98,000.
While expensive these drives would be so much denser than magnetic drives that they would save a LOT of data center room and probably prevent many new data centers from having to be built so might be cheaper in long term total cost of ownership.

6 2.4TB data-center grade SAS HDDs would cost $3,600, making flash roughly 3.5x more expensive. OTOH, HDDs would occupy a lot more space, generate a lot more heat, and draw a lot more power. A 2U rack server has space for about 30 2.5 units. That'd be about 120 TB in HDDs, but could reach 3+ PB of flash storage.
102 32TB hard drives in a 4U 102 bay JBOD would is the densest magnetic storage can get. If we can put 8 of these in a rack leaving 10U for switches and servers that would be only 26PB per rack. So these 1PB SSDs would be up to 30 times denser.

No info about reliability, a feature at which flash storage does not exceeds.
