but if you stick that many Samsung F3 1Tb drives in the same array - it'll cost less, have a zillion times more storage and will perform say 50%?

And why would I ever use that Thermaltake case anyhoo?

I would think so. In your common HDD the discs have to spin up, those arms have to move back and forth and so on.

While true, and I do agree..

These claims, prices etc are completely off the wall.

Why doesn't GM make a new Camaro with twin turbo's off the factory floor and charge 9 million for it because it has 800HP *most HP EVER from a factory Camaro* congrats... wooot....
