"A company called Nimbus Data just unveiled what it's calling the
"world's largest solid state drive" – the ExaDrive DC100, which offers
100TB of storage in a standard 3.5-inch, hard drive-sized form factor.
To put this in perspective, the ExaDrive DC100 offers enough storage
capacity for "20 million songs, 20,000 HD movies, or 2,000 iPhones worth
of data in a device small enough to fit in your back pocket," Nimbus
Data wrote in a news release."

"On top of that, the ExaDrive DC100 promises to be super energy
efficient, using just 0.1 watts per terabyte, or 85 percent less power
than its closest competitor."

Might be a tad expensive.


I *so* like where things are going. Not every consumer wants or needs
that kind of storage, but for those who do, this is awesome.
