Samsung Electronics announced Wednesday that it is now shipping the industry's highest-capacity solid-state drive (SSD), the 15.36TB PM1633a. Samsung revealed it was working on the drive last August, saying it would use the same form factor as for a laptop computer: 2.5-in.

15TB 2.5" SAS enterprise SSD? That's really impressive, and I had no idea we had that sort of density on SSDs already. I wonder if this sort of innovation and progress will trickle down into consumer drives in the following months? 

 

Thoughts?

That appears to be a bit thicker than my 2.5" HDD, and they are too thick for a lot of modern laptops and ultrabooks...

Which can contain more pictures of Gaben?

 

I await Linus adding 20 of these into his server.

OK, but how does six of them perform in RAID 0?

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I was just thinking that. They probably have a far higher MTBF (or Mean Time Before Degradation to be more precise with SSD) than HDD as well.

And here I sit, waiting for them to release a 1TB M.2 drive that was promised in Q1 2016. RIP ITX dreams.

I have been waiting patiently for the 2TB OCZ Vector 180, their 1TB Revodrive 400, which may come in a 2TB U.2 form-factor from what was hinted.  Waiting on the 4TB Mushkin Reactor, but that's Q3 beginning, and the Corsair NVME drive.  Looks like all Q1 hopes and dreams are actually Q2.  Sad. :c

Now that's some storage, and fast! :D
Looking forward to lower prices for SSDs specially for larger capacity.

At this point, the only thing HDD makers have going for them is price/GB.  In a few short years, HDDs won't even be able to pretend to compete on size.  Although SSD makers are going to have to figure out a faster single drive interface that isn't PCIe.  While PCIe/NVMe is nice and fast, you can't exactly hook up a few hundred PCIe drives to a storage server the same way you can hook up current SAS drives.  Not that I really think it will be a problem for long, there is likely something in the wings, it just isn't worth implementing yet due to cost of going with mass SSD roll outs.  Or the sheer speed increases have taken everyone off guard and we are simply on the cusp of new transfer technologies being made.

There already is a solution for you (dot) too. Okay that was a terrible pun. But the SFF-8639 connector, which was renamed U.2, is basically the result of an SAS connector making sweet love to a PCIe slot all night long. And then you get backplanes like this:

The two top connectors are U.2, the rest are plain old SAS.

I figured SAS would be the way they go, since 12Gbps SAS already exists, and they could likely double that relatively easy.  But I hadn't even thought of just using SFF connectors for individual drives.  The 8088/8087 connectors are already quad channel, I'm sure they could up the channels if needed.  But they could just connect existing quad channel connections to single drives if they really needed the speed.  Though it would make me cry to think of the controller power needed to manage 16/32/128/512 SSDs.  Though I am pretty sure companies will start moving to some kind of software "RAID", so the controller will simply be an HBA, but still.  So much data moving so fast.  But using some kind of SAS SFF backplane would be awesome and provide insane speeds.

It looks like the projected price for this drive is $8000. That is $1.92 per gig?! That is crazy expensive! Then again, it is industrial grade...

That is $0.56 per gig.

In what way is 15,000 GB for $8,000 $1.92 per gigabyte?

That thing looks like a battery pack.

enterprise 2.5" drives, are around that thickness. Them 2.5" SAS and WD Velociraptor are some of them.

Got my math backwards. 15 TB = 15360 GB -> $8000.00/15360 GB = $0.56 per gig. Thanks for the correction!
