Then I have just the drive for you....

Wow, I've never seen one that big before!!!!

I know it's a bit expensive but at least you won't have to worry about any space for a while and it does have a 5 year warranty... What more could you wish for?? :D :D
 
Hi,
Yeah torrent any lol :-)
 
that is an awesome drive. its price is also awesome sadly. its good that it exists though, the more they produce the cheaper it will get.
 
So, logically, I'd reject that drive because it is too big. One critical failure would literally mean 100 TB of data lost. Using it in a RAID array would be nightmarish if it had to be rebuilt. Bah, even just filing it (say, for a backup of a RAID array) would be slow.

HOWEVER: It would be so cool, though, to have a 100 TB drive :D :laugh:
 
$40,000 o_O as we here in NZ say it's a Yeah Na from me

The 50GB drive can be yours at just $12,500...

Apart from being so expensive it doesn't make sense, why on Earth does this use ordinary SATA3/SAS2 instead of SATA Express?

SATA Express? It never went off. There were, like, one or two drives using it. Motherboard vendors also stopped implementing this connector after z270/x370.
Consumer segment got M.2, enterprise segment got U.2, and there was no use for SATA Express.

Anyway, whoever needs this amount of storage probably doesn't necessarily need 3GB/s speeds. The killer feature here is probably the highest data density one can get. 3,5 inch HDDs are somewhere around ~20TB today.

Sorry, I meant U.2 - it uses the same physical connector as SATA Express.

Ok then, go ahead and buy it, like, now...

And in 6-12 months, I will buy mine for 1/2 of what you paid, or the newer 5000TB version for the same price, hahahaha.. :eek:..:fear:..:laugh:
 
Impractical, would not buy and if I got one for free I'd sell it.

50GB?? 100GB?? Man those are even worse than the 50TB and 100TB versions ;) :D
 
I got a 500gb external drive I'll sell for half that price lol
