15TB of raw storage on one SSD. How many games, songs, or other large files can we fit into a drive this big?

depends on the specs, bitrate and fps have to be included.

Pretty sure that should be TB not GB lol

Hold on a sec, I'm asking my dad for $45000.

Datahorder... Hold my Ingest Drive...

Hold on. I don't think that bit about Windows vs Manufacturers was right, but I can be wrong.

 

1 Gigabyte = 1024 Megabytes = 1024*1024 Kilobytes = 1024*1024*1024 Byte. That is how it physically is on the SSD (any storage device), because powers of two and computers go hand in hand.

 

What marketing people came up with is: "Look, 1024 is confusing, let's make it a 1000". Then you end up with 15 "marketing GB", which is actually 15*1000^3/1024^3 = 13.97 real world GB.

 

So Windows is right. It's marketing people who market using imaginary capacity.

this drive contains more dram than a lot of PCs and phones used to not a few years back

[greenhorn]

Nice drive although out of range of most consumers and small enterprises I guess. One question though: Was the drive name chosen by LMG's new social media coordinator? (Seems that could be a possibility...)

[RejZoR]

People mock SATA drives too much. They are often still cheaper and apart from sequential speeds, you won't be able to tell a difference. DirectStorage is still years away imo.

In stock. Limit 5 per customer.

 

Hm... Question is if they even will sell 5 of them.

At the start of the vid i stopped to figure out how much i would a) actually pay, b) expect it to cost ideally, and c)actually cost.

 

So, me personally for 15tb of SSD storage , i'd pay up to £1000,

What i'd expect it to cost in a "not going to fk over the consumer" world .. about £3000

What i expected to hear it actually cost ..around £5000

 

So coming in at $4000 ..which would in most instances be £4000....i wasn't entirely disgusted. Still to damn expensive. .but still.

 

None the less, realistically as u point out, u can buy multiple smaller capacity faster drives that add up to more capacity for less than the price of that thing, so its kinda pointless for most 'normal' users.

A quick look at PCpartpicker and u can grab 8x ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro NVME 2TB SSDs for around £1660

Plus a couple 4x M.2 to PCI-e cards to fit them all which is roughly £80.. so £1740 and u got urself ~16TB of fast TLC NVME storage.

[Luscious]

I was just looking at this on Newegg last week LOL. The price is WAAAAAY over-inflated considering a 8TB Sammy QVO goes for just $850 and a 8TB m.2 can be had for $1250. That's 10 cents and 15 cents per GB compared to 20 cents per GB of this drive priced at $3200. You pay a hefty premium for that bleeding edge!!!

 

Maybe when more of these from other brands make it to market the price can come down to something like $1600-2000 and be more accessible to people who don't have Benjamins coming out their rear end.

 

Practical uses??? I'd love to put two of these in one of those external dual 2.5 inch drive enclosures for a compact/portable 30TB drive. That would be sweet! Putting two of these in a laptop would give you some serious storage space as well, especially if you have a m.2 boot drive. And if it's high density desktop storage that rocks your boat, 24 of these with a spare PCIe slot and a single huge-ass RAID card could give you a whopping 360TB in the physical space about the same as six 3.5 inch drives - absolutely nuts.

[williamcll]

Seems like a RAID Card + 2 Sabrent Q is the more economical option here.

Guys, the subtitles are full of little errors and it's been like that for months. 

 

What the heck is a SEDA interface.

Possibly because they're automatically generated by Google's algorythm

I don't know about that, doesn't automatically generated subtitles appear as they are spoken and are usually terrible? There are otherwise good subtitles and are well timed it's just the many little errors.

 

For instance, I don't think automated subs would correctly capitalize something like this:

The counterargument to that is that 'kilo', 'mega', 'giga' and 'tera' prefixes mean 10³, 10⁶, 10⁹ and 10¹² respectively in all other contexts.

Should a digital odometer consider a kilometer to be 1024 meters long? Should a megawatt of output from a computerized power plant be 1024 kilowatts?

[Bramimond]

Kilo, mega, etc. are just powers of ten, yes, but bytes usually come in powers of two and instead of inventing a whole other name for each prefix (kibi, mebi, gibi, tebi), which would sound mentally challenged, people just kept the familiar prefixes, while knowing that bytes are different. Kind of like people know that 60s are a minute and not 100s. Even though this makes absolutely no sense.

 

1TB should be 1024⁴ Bytes: 1.099.511.627.776

And not 1000⁴ Bytes: 1.000.000.000.000

 

Which then shows up as 1.000.000.000.000 / (1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024) = ~0.909TB

 

On larger drives the difference becomes even more noticeable, like 10TB drives only actually having ~9TB of space.

 

 

Having said all that, I totally would buy a 15TB SSD, if it was price competitive with the HDD equivalent. I don't really need the stuff an SSD offers for pure storage. Though, if copying data over was significantly quicker, I might pay 15% extra over the HDD.

Can't wait till that capacity becomes the 'meh' good enough size

On Windows, yeah.

It's important to note that Microsoft's way of using the prefixes clashes not only with the convention in other fields, but with most other software developers as well.
