Not absurd to imagine 7 man tablebase files on PCIe SSD, if you can find some system to hold that many sticks (about $3000 for the SSDs).
I have seen cards that will hold 4, but you would need something special to hold 20 sticks. I saw an article on such a thing once, but it may have been some custom built cage for an ultra high-speed server room. I can't find the article any more.
SSD prices are falling like stones to the bottom of the pool

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
