Anyone fancy a 30.7TB SSD. Well Samsung have started manufacturing them. The 16TB model are going for about $10,000.

According to Samsung

This breakthrough was made possible by combining 32 of the new 1TB NAND flash packages, each comprised of 16 stacked layers of 512Gb V-NAND chips. These super-dense 1TB packages allow for approximately 5,700 5-gigabyte (GB), full HD movie files to be stored within a mere 2.5-inch storage device.

 

In addition to the doubled capacity, performance levels have risen significantly and are nearly twice that of Samsung’s previous generation high-capacity SAS SSD. Based on a 12Gb/s SAS interface, the new PM1643 drive features random read and write speeds of up to 400,000 IOPS and 50,000 IOPS, and sequential read and write speeds of up to 2,100MB/s and 1,700 MB/s, respectively. These represent approximately four times the random read performance and three times the sequential read performance of a typical 2.5-inch SATA SSD*.

 

“With our launch of the 30.72TB SSD, we are once again shattering the enterprise storage capacity barrier, and in the process, opening up new horizons for ultra-high capacity storage systems worldwide,” said Jaesoo Han, executive vice president, Memory Sales & Marketing Team at Samsung Electronics.

 

 

Would you stick 30TB's worth of data on one drive?

 

So, who's got a spare $20,000?

I'm awaiting a mail from our Dev Leads saying we need them now in our laptops

Wait a few years and come back and laugh at this post. Then you will be saying "only 32TB, I have more than that on my new smartwatch"!

I remember the first PC I encountered at work. It had a 10MB hard drive and we couldn't imagine how we could ever fill it with our little DOS programs.
