I find it still mind blowing that HDD still improves the storage density to this day. Especially that something like HAMR works reliably and fast feels kind of crazy.
Imagine if we were still doing full-height 5.25" HDDs!
I just want normal 10TB drives to come down in price.
The expression "come down in price" will soon be considered grammatically incorrect because people continue to use it while it has no sense in real world economics.
That is so cool
You could buy a few of these, run them in RAID, and be able to store all of the mahority of businesses complete data on it.
All you need is an offsite backup and that solves so many problems that result in overpaying for cloud.
So, rebuild the array offsite after swapping in the good drive?
"Hey everyone, I'm kicking off the array rebuild. See you all in a month."
I think we need SATA4 for that, or something like that, with at least double the speed, but ideally more.
