More 128TB SSDs are coming as almost no one noticed this launch — another SSD controller that can support up to 128TB appeared paving the way for HDD-beating capacities::Phison quietly revealed an updated X2 SSD platform at CES
I’m holding out upgrading for the holographic nano dark matter drives that have infinite storage capacity and RAID data into 3 alternate universes for security.
Some high tech alien’s porn stash is embedded in the fabric of our universe and that’s the reason we exist.
Are we the porn? Some alien’s weird fetish?
What’s the biggest HDD out there? I mean at sizes this big it’s a lot of data to lose in one go if it dies. Even if you have backups or whatever that’s a lot to have to restore.
I like 8TB drives for media. I know the rules of safe backup say you should have 3 copies, but I just have another 8TB drive for each one that’s in use and I do a sync every few months. The backup drives, when not hooked up to sync for backup, sit safely in anti static bags inside the boxes they came in, in a file cabinet drawer.
Who sells 80TB HDDs? None on the market that I know of.
I’ve seen SSDs hit 100TB, but those are $40k+. And more “reasonable” options like 64TB for $10k or so.
HDDs just reached 30TB, but I don’t think those are widely available yet. 24TB is the biggest you can expect to see for sale.
Ok so I’m wondering WTF he’s talking about.
Did he mean 8TB maybe?
I meant 8 TB
Do you think the normal consumer would care? All that matters is for SSD to become as cheap or cheaper than HDDs or nothing
Its pretty cool. Number go up is exciting.
I am coming from Incremental Social, but I agree.
That’s cool and all, but the only reason I would want that capacity is to store stuff that I would want to store for much longer than a lifespan of an SSD. Only HDD’s have that kind of lifespan. Like a gigantic video library/archive. I guess these aren’t for me.
But if they drive down the price of high capacity, HDDs, all the better. 
It’s not for you. It’s for enterprises, but I can drive down the prices of shit you would use. No noise, better performance, less energy; it’s a win-win.
