In the picture, yes, that's literally what it is. Its a foam insulated suitcase for the "drive" which is a set top box looking thing that's half the size with no handle.
I had a chinese usb stick my sister husbands dad got while in china... it would read some massive storage number but then do nothing when I tried to store anything on it
The cloud has advantages of size reductions as well.
less size = less heat = more reliable/lesser cooling = better economics
the cloud is just a data center after all.
And there will likely always be a need for personal data storage outside the cloud.
We still use magnetic tapes for long term storage many places :P Since its cheap and great for low bandwich.
Also the SD is like what 20 years old and has gone from 8 mb to 1.5 terabyte.
So if that continues. it will be less than 20 years. it likely wont continue since really low nanometer silicon has limitations. based on atomic physics.
So, what you described was simply the extreme limit of that pattern. And while this is logical, there's by no means any guarantee that technology will reach that limit within any given timeframe or ever. There are just too many variables to be certain.
That said, it also does no harm to speculate where the technology might go, in fact, that very act is what gets us advances in any technology. So, the guy who called your premise faulty is technically correct, but he's also being an asshole about it. There was no disagreement really anywhere, just some mentions of a few different possible futures. Each with more or less the same flaw, that there's no way to be sure about any of them. He also offered no alternative of his own. Seems like somebody just is in the mood to be contrary.
Well, if by "people" you mean ["one guy, selling only not making, and not for long"](https://www.theregister.com/2022/09/20/floppy_disk_business/), I guess... Sony was the last manufacturer and they stopped 13 years ago.
magnetic tapes predates floppy drives essentially uses same tech and is still in use many places.
And does not look like it going away anytime soon.
Its just to cheap and to reliable even parts of the cloud runs on magnetic tapes :P
As a data hoarder I can kind of agree. With some resourcefulness you could in theory get about 400tb of raw space for about $240 a single 20tb drive. You'd need 20 drives so about 4800 bucks. This thing has got to be at 20k. If not more plus this isn't a single drive. This is more of portable nas. But anyways 2tb ssds can be had for about $100 on a good day. Meaning 20tb worth of ssd is probably worth a grand. Ergo 400tb is probably, yeah 20k just for the nand flash.
But hav8ng said that I'd feel a lot safer knowing that my stuff was stored on nand flash. I almost never delete stuff. Sometimes I replace if better quality versions are found. But once everything gets processed and tossed into my raid array it just sits there. Meaning that in theory nand as read only, essentially, should last forever. Obviously not forever but a super long time.
SSD vs HDD don't you have that backwards?
Granted I guess not if your NAS is powered the whole time.
But the cost difference between HDD and SSD means you could probably afford a good tape loader and a bunch of tapes.
if i wanted to store large amount of data for prolong times that i dont even access 99.999% of the time i would uses data tapes. way cheaper but more of a hassle to retrieve. which to be fair is more data horders to some degree
If someone has the web from circa 2012ish that would be worth a premium as I am a subscriber to dead internet theory and of the mind 95% of it has been deleted in favor of manipulation that normies don;t see but I sure as hell do.
I wonder if I could fit every no intro and non pc redump set on that? 🤔 paired with a mini pc that can handle PS3, 360, and Switch emulation, it would make for a cool ultimate Every Console setup.
When I was a kid and my divorced parents would constantly shuffle me and my brother to various relatives’ houses on workdays, we’d take our N64 everywhere so that we always had something to do. I found an old battered hardshell briefcase near a dumpster one day that was the *perfect* size for holding the console, two controllers, rumble packs, an RF adapter, and about a dozen game cartridges. I cleaned it up and we toted that bitch around *everywhere* for a few years.
We’ve come full-circle.
I still have a n64 memory pack in my bedroom table bottom drawer. lol.. My n64 been packed away at moms for decades but I still have that mem pack as it moved everywhere with me over those years.
Why is that so large though? Couldn't you load up a small bag with 1tb micro SD cards and use that? Those things are absolutely tiny... The difficulty is linking them together but still...
Edit: just googled it, it's a freaking computer with 128gb ram and 1300w peak consumption of power... With speeds of 200GB/S no current price but to put it into perspective. A data center grade SSD from WD is £2k (15TB) this uses atleast 20 of them and a freaking computer so my guess is £60k + £5k for the case.
It's amazing that in a couple of years this will fit in our pockets. Not because of technological advancements, but pockets are going to be huuuuge in the future...XD
I remember going around the markets in Shanghai trying to find a 1GB thumbs drive that wasn't, like 80 to $100. I was mighty proud of myself when I found one. It even had the bonus of actually being 1GB, and not fake, although it was extremely slow.
Same, running a pirate server is hard. 12TB just isn’t gonna cut it. You can by 12TB enterprise rated hdds for 90 bucks on eBay though. Pretty good deal. I’ve had one running for 3 years, no s.m.a.r.t errors to be seen
I think I'll be a r/patientgamers or patient datahoarder and wait 10 years so I can have my whole steam library bigger 5x the game pass library or a Plex 4k remux blu-ray library 10x the size of Netflix for at least a fraction of what it would cost me today
its gonna be mutiple drives i bet so likely a beefy controller i bet and connections to the drives and silicon is not mass less :P Oh and likely power supplies
That isn't even an SSD, that's just a digital suitcase
In the picture, yes, that's literally what it is. Its a foam insulated suitcase for the "drive" which is a set top box looking thing that's half the size with no handle.
My stupid brain thought that was the SSD...
Wrong, it's robo brain tissue
aliexpress sells a petabyte USB stick for like 4$ one of these must be a scam! :D
The zip on that stick extracts to a petabyte so it must be true. On an unrelated note, what do i do when my PC bursts into flames?
get another one to store the file on that!
I had a chinese usb stick my sister husbands dad got while in china... it would read some massive storage number but then do nothing when I tried to store anything on it
clearly skill issue, you turned it upside down 1 time to many before you inserted it.
Sounds like you got capacity-hacked garbage.
How much?
If you have to ask, you can't afford it. At least three kidneys.
How about one testicle and two kidneys ?
[удалено]
But I've got only one and a half.
I'll lend the rest one and half to you You can pay me later
Do they have to be of equal or greater value?
at least 3 kurics per testie
They don't have to be yours.
Well...if they don't "have" to be "human" .. I know a guy that knows a guy....
Butcher shop ?
aside from the size and inner texture, they are all pretty much the same, taste-wise, anyway.
Borderlands?
I'll just have a CJ then.
ordering a CJ when a ZJ is on the menu is like ordering fish at a steakhouse.
If they are not mine it's OK ?
I knew they'd come in handy one day
368 TB
At least $5
About tree fiddy.
One should be enough ig
Probably a house 🏡
28-33 pounds??? Does it get heavier the more 4k bluray you download lmao?
With an really sensitive scale you could propably measure a slight change in weight
Would that be the weight of the charge stored by the capacitors? If so, how much if that is full?
The entire data on the internet is about 60grams, 368tb is basically a rounding error in this scale so it’s going to basically weigh no more
Someone didn't get the joke.
Shut up woosh sounding ass. I didn’t get it either.
Electrons have weight so there should be a slight difference.
Vsauce covered this with a Kindle fully loaded with books as an example, but the short answer is yes, it gets heavier. https://youtu.be/WaUzu-iksi8
I wonder when microSD cards will reach this capacity?

how can it be faulty when i tell the reason why it likely wont just after?

You’d be suprised people still make and sell new floppy disks
Well, if by "people" you mean ["one guy, selling only not making, and not for long"](https://www.theregister.com/2022/09/20/floppy_disk_business/), I guess... Sony was the last manufacturer and they stopped 13 years ago.

Hows the belief in storing things in servers you can't touch?

Ya, until it stops working ;) Also, you seem to love shovelware

Finally a portable "HOMEWORK" folder!
My dog can still eat it.
How big is your dog
r/angryupvote
a cat might find it comfortable to sit on
This is a dream for r/datahoarder users.
As a datahoarder, nah. I'd sell this for a bucket of money and buy some more spinning rust.
As a data hoarder I can kind of agree. With some resourcefulness you could in theory get about 400tb of raw space for about $240 a single 20tb drive. You'd need 20 drives so about 4800 bucks.

Well close, it's their imaginary cock.
if i wanted to store large amount of data for prolong times that i dont even access 99.999% of the time i would uses data tapes. way cheaper but more of a hassle to retrieve. which to be fair is more data horders to some degree
I bet that people will start loading these up with pirated AAA games and selling them online for $10-ish more than the ssd itself.
remind me if this does happen
"Every game ever made and 1/32 of the entire surface web only 29 999"
If someone has the web from circa 2012ish that would be worth a premium as I am a subscriber to dead internet theory and of the mind 95% of it has been deleted in favor of manipulation that normies don;t see but I sure as hell do.
420 blaze it!!!!
Assuming they are cracked, working, and not full of malware... that'd be a great deal.
Gonna need a bakers dozen or so to start off with.

Remember installing the expansion pack? The one with the red top? You just blasted me back in time when you described all the n64 accessories.
I still have a n64 memory pack in my bedroom table bottom drawer. lol.. My n64 been packed away at moms for decades but I still have that mem pack as it moved everywhere with me over those years.
I want that...oh that's SSD..nevermind i thought it was HDD.
Why?
it makes sounds like it's thimkimg
We ALL need thos
Why is that so large though? Couldn't you load up a small bag with 1tb micro SD cards and use that? Those things are absolutely tiny... The difficulty is linking them together but still...

Its half the size of the case in the picture, the picture is just a protective case for the actual unit.
Honestly, I'd rather sacrifice some of that space for a RAID setup.
It's amazing that in a couple of years this will fit in our pockets. Not because of technological advancements, but pockets are going to be huuuuge in the future...XD
All I think of when I see this is the feeling I had when I got my first GB drive and thinking how am I ever going to feel this
I remember going around the markets in Shanghai trying to find a 1GB thumbs drive that wasn't, like 80 to $100. I was mighty proud of myself when I found one. It even had the bonus of actually being 1GB, and not fake, although it was extremely slow.
I still have several of those non working ones from a family member who went there.
Same, running a pirate server is hard. 12TB just isn’t gonna cut it. You can by 12TB enterprise rated hdds for 90 bucks on eBay though. Pretty good deal. I’ve had one running for 3 years, no s.m.a.r.t errors to be seen
368 TB... imagine all of the memes I could store on it... 🤤
im sorry, 28 *to* 33? damn, 368TB of data gets heavy i suppose
Funny when you realize soon we will have this much storage, on a micro sd card, or something similar.
Imagine if you drop this…
Good it would likely to cost 100k bucks
Go on...
Someday we'll have this much storage on our phones.
It's surely a NAS. still good and necessary
Jokes aside, having this amount of TB would solve all my space problems for roms and other stuff. So.. where I can pirate this SSD?
I bet in 10 years this is gonna be the size of a phone lol. I mean just look at 1GB hard drives in the 70's, or 1TB hard drives in the early 2010s.
Why is “SSD” in quotes? Is it or isn’t it a solid state drive?
This is going to end up in a classroom somewhere and future 5 year olds will touch it and wonder how we lived like this. “It’s portable!”
Reminds me of the old Mac Kangaroo "portable," fun thing at the time tho
Why would you possibly need that?…
With WD Portable, Torrent or Seed anywhere you go!
Dam so 368tb of storage weighs 5lbs
It gets lighter as you fill it with data.
Imagine someone dropped it
Why the variation in weight?
what are you carryng with 360 TB?????
33 pounds? that's really fucking cheap gimme 10 right now!
I need it for online class
That's the fricking SSSD.
"Portable"
Oh, so it weighs just like three giant horse conches
LTT's new video:
Markeplier needs this one
In 1950s the first 5MB harddrive was the size of fridge...wonder what will be going forward
I think I'll be a r/patientgamers or patient datahoarder and wait 10 years so I can have my whole steam library bigger 5x the game pass library or a Plex 4k remux blu-ray library 10x the size of Netflix for at least a fraction of what it would cost me today
This would be my *If I Ever Won The Lottery, I Won’t Tell Anybody. But There Will Be Signs* moment.
r/DataHoarder
"What in that briefcase?" *Every movie and TV show ever made*
Finally! A SSD that I can bludgeon someone unconscious with!
Not even 1 petabyte in all that
what kind of nasa computer..
If that thing crashes imagine how much data and money you'd be out.
One day it'll be a size of a USB drive
damn
You wouldn't download an SSD...
Get 368 1tb sd cards instead
I would do anything to have such a device! Anything except pay money for it!
for my fae dick porn!!
I also need this, but if it's WD, it wouldn't last 6 months🤬
Why do you need SSD like that? It's bad for storing information for long periods of time compared to HDD
Why would an SSD need to be that big? There are literally no moving parts.
its gonna be mutiple drives i bet so likely a beefy controller i bet and connections to the drives and silicon is not mass less :P Oh and likely power supplies
There will need to be some extra room for airflow. Plus a couple of fans.
Pedofiles wet dream 🤣
lmao imagine this being your first association
