That there is one big hard drive. That article had a link to an article from February that teased about the possibility of an 80TB drive. Now we're getting somewhere. https://www.pcmag.com/news/next-gen-...tb-hard-drives Isn't one of the older file systems limited to 16 TB ? Or am I thinking 16 PB ?

After some ferreting around, I discovered read/write speed will be 261 MB/s Most 'enterprise' drives are around 250. Seems it will have multi-actuator apparatus that improves serving up small files. |
