    Always makes me laugh when people say HDD is dead… as a home user, when I can buy solid state storage in the 20TB range for my home server for less than a HDD… I’ll consider believing them.

    They simply don’t make any consumer SSD larger than 8TB and for the SATA SSD side, it’s well over £500 for one of them, meanwhile you can get 20TB HDD for about £300 here.

    Last year the price of a Samsung 870 SSD was £300, I bought one, they’ve not been below £500 since.

    While it’s awesome that I’ll finally be able to get all my porn onto one disk, I do hope that they manage to improve the data rates on these disks. If they’re the typical 100 MB/s, then that’ll be 12 days to fully read or write one of these. We’d be looking at basically an entire month to resilver one of these in a RAID, which probably justifies a special risk assessment for their usage.
