[snowComet]

According to Japanese tech media "Akiba PC", and a Japanese online computer store "oliospec.com", 2 Korean-made high capacity SSDs are available for pre-order, and they are not cheap.

 

NS370 from NovaChips

NS570

 

The SSDs are made by a Korean company called "Novachips". They used a technology called "HyperLink NAND", which according to Novachips, it is "Next generation Flash delivering superior scalability, performance and reliability over Flash storage systems that use conventional NAND Flash devices." (If you want to know more about HyperLink NAND, you can visit this page from Novachips: http://www.novachips.com/hlnand_flash.shtml )

 

The SSDs available for pre-order are "NS370", which still is a  8TB SATA 3 SSD (15MM thick), and "NS570", which is a 10TB PCIE Gen 2 SSD with NVME, and using SFF-8639 as connector. Because it is still a SATA 3 SSD, the read and write speed of "NS370" is around 540MB/s and 500MB/s, while that of "NS570" is around 1.5GB/s and 1.4GB/s respectively.

 

These SSDs are not cheap. the 8TB NS370 is now available for pre-order in a Japanese online computer store called "oliospec.com" for 1,260,000 yen, which is around $10438, and estimated to ship in three months; while the NS570 is priced around 1,890,000 yen, which is around $15657, and you may need to wait four months for the SSD.

8TB SSD, or car....

I think a car

or two

[UltraCakeBakery]

so they toke 8 normal 1tb ssds, toke the inside out and then put it back together in one case? damn....​

[WereCat]

Damn. If it was free shipping I would take two but shipping is too expensive.

Impressive SSDs though. Especially the PCIe one. I would really like to have it but finally there are SSDs that are catching up to HDD capacity.

it's amazing how the Anime culture is so widespread it's even in some official papers and speed numbers promoting a product. like wtf?

 

anyway, i think i'd rather get me a BMW E46 M3 for that kind of money.

I think what you are referring to is crystal disk mark shizuku edition, which is very 'kawaii', yes, but in not way official or representative of the company, rather just a widely accepted benchmarking tool.

Clearly anyone in the industry worth their salt knows the Shizuku edition is the only edition you should use. It's a simple fact.

[SurvivorNVL]

I, uh.. yeah.. So, who wants to chip in to get one of these?

I'm taking a different approach: 

I'm placing a 256 GB SSD on top of 2 4TB hard drives, dousing them with goat's blood, and reading the Segate warranty terms backwards. 

Candles for effect.

0.19$ per gb doe. FUCKIN' 'MAZING

When in doubt--always resort to dark magic.  It works.

i agree that it indeeds adds a lot of professionalism aswell as science to your product.

on crystal disk info- if you click her she changes seasons/outfits. Which is really cute, you need a smile when it tells you your hard drive is fucked.

"It's like magic, but with electricity"

the last bit of subtitle is not correct though.

[Doobeedoo]

Nice, lovely flash storage there

[lightningterror]

In a year or two this will probably be a lot cheaper. Not only that but previous gen flash ssds will be a lot cheaper now since this is hitting the market.

 

The end of HDD's is even nearer than i thought.

 

 

cough cough ... well bye bye Seagate

[Lethal Seraph]

This is definitely gonna be on my upgrade list down the road. Mmmmmm

[Deli]

For those who say will put it in their upgrade lists. Have you guys read the article and look at the price?

Yeah I've read it. That's why I mentioned down the road. I just built mine, not planning an overhaul for at least 2yrs so, hopefully by then it's not $10k.

0.19$ per gb doe. FUCKIN' 'MAZING

 

You did your math backwards.  Its ~$1.30 per GB for the 8TB, and ~$1.50 for the 10TB.  (rounded for ease of display)
