[DeScruff]

I'd take just one of those 8TB M.2 SSDs...
No more spinning rust in my PC.

Its not for consumers, its meant for commercial server use. 

Looking forward to picking it up second hand for fun lol.

any idea on the pricing of this? Its too bad mainstream platforms have so few PCIe lanes. Imagine how many of these you could cram into epyc, combine with GPUs and perhaps RAM drives.

Treadtripper has 64 lanes so could work just fine with this.

Perhaps in a decade or so.

Who needs 64TB local storage at home?

 

Who can afford 64TB SSD capacity? Probably enough to buy a new car.

 

P.S. I know I know, this isn't meant for home PC.

No more worries about encoding when ripping blu ray. Just dump your blu rays onto the drive and forget about them.

Wow, thats pretty dense in terms of storage .

 

But at nearly 50,000$/€ or more, i could never dream or desire something like this.

That awkward moment when your SSD looks like a graphics card.

What about when your video card is your SSD?

Me. Just making optimized media for one big-ish project in Davinci Resolve ate 700-800GB of space.

And here is the official Seagate press release as well.

The timeline as it stands right now is customer samples being anticipated in the first half of 2018.
