2tb ssd?

[Evostatic343]

when do they come out?

Just get 2 1TB in raid 0

[Hans Christian | Teri]

I doubt anyone here knows, it has been said though that Intel will have a solution in Q2 2014. Why not buy two 1TB drives and RAID0 them though?

Probably in the next 2 or 3 years maybe shorter if any technological advancement occur. But really we dont know

Leaked roadmap suggests Q2

 

But honestly it won't be worth the price. I'm going to estimate well over $2,000.

Based on what we see usually as we get up on size price is less then the size. 1 Tb is like what 700? 512Gb is around 300, 256Gb is around 150. But prices are going to be fairly large

There are 1.6 TB SSD's.

Adata announced one at CES. We will see. Why not 2 x 1tb drives in raid 0?

[El Bejelando]

Thing is if you have 2 SSDs in Raid0 you double the risk of failure, so would also buy a cheap 2TB , maybe WD Green as backup incase one of your drives fail. 

 

As far as i know, no 2TB ssds have come out yet, mainly because they have to shrink the architechture even further to reach that.

 

Samsung 840 EVO drives have a new and smaller architechture and can reach 1Tb, not sure about the intel ones.

Sandisk makes a 2 TB SSD (via their SMART Storage Systems subsidiary): link.

As most great things, it's an enterprise grade component though (SAS 6 Gbit/s).

Which reminds me, I really want a few of those Hitachi 12 Gb/s SAS SSDs

and an LSI 9300 card.

True, for other brands. Intel doesn't make a 1TB SSD. Their 480GB SSD is around $500.

Also, this will be based on a newer, faster controller. Thus raising the price even more. I believe it will also be aimed primarily at Enterprise users...thus...a higher price still as it's largely a tax write off so they don't care about cost as much as a consumer would.

At a cost of only $4,000! What a steal. Only a few years till prices drop down to sane levels.

Hehe, yeah that's enterprise components for you.

I must admit that ever since starting to tinker with them I have developed a

taste for them, there are just some features on enterprise stuff that I kind

of miss in consumer hardware (IPMI, for example). Plus, enterprise hardware

is usually more robust and better tested. But the prices... (that's why I went

for eBay).

The guy who runs thessdreview.com was actually given eight Hitachi SAS 12Gb/s

SSDs by HGST last year and has been using them for reviews (the SSD review itself).

God I would love to get my hands on that setup.

[hojnikb]

There are already 2TB ssd out there, but they use nasty hacks to achieve that (bunch of NAND packages + many controllers in raid).

 

We could have consumer 2TB ssds today (we can already stick 256GiB on a single package), we just need a proper controller, to handle all that capacity.
