In other words, SSD density is eclipsing that of HDDs. Once costs come down, there will be far fewer reasons for datacenters to use HDDs.

This is good news. Sick of all the small(capacity not physical size) SSD's.

Soon, a few years more and we can have more affordable SSDs like these ones...

[shizngiggles]

Although it is awesome to see SSD's with such high storage capacity, these aren't meant for consumers. Most consumer based PCs won't support SAS drives and most don't use SAS drives anyway. It should however, be a great option for anyone that has the money to throw down on a server build that they wish to have no HDDs in.

That's a PCIe drive though. This is a SAS drive, and they will release a 16TB model.

Ultra realism and detail

[JAKEBAB]

yes, but how much would you benefit of having all the movies on the SSD? speed wise, sound and so on

 

It wouldnt benefit from speed but it would benefit from space saving (assuming its a 2.5" drive) and reliability.

This is cool and all but where's my 2TB Samsung Evo 840 Pro that is affordable?

if your bill gates.

:wub: I'd pay $1000.00 right now for that 4TB SSD. (yeah I'm one of those that have their entire steam library installed.)

 

I just refuse to run a mechanical drive even alongside a SSD.

[PortentousLad]

Ges lease! Male thematisiert 250gigs prices drop Luke it's hot.

[Michael McAllister]

Start waving goodbye to mechanical hard drives! YES! 

 

Mechanical drives will be around for at least another decade.

Predicting the future is hard. Don't expect to be right. Expect stuff to come out of left field and blindside you and your predictions. 4Tb might be next to nothing in the future, or maybe it will be enough for a long time for unknown reasons, who knows..

[Foxxer]

Good stuff. This will make other companies do the same. 

[EChondo]

yes, it was clear that this would happen at some point, but could you put a 4tb ssd to use right now and say that's worth the 2000$?

If I had $2k to spare, I would.

 

Hell, I would get 4-6 of them and make a RAID array for my media server.

I think I need google fiber first. Don't see how I could fill one up any other way.
