Being a storagelet

Are you planning on mining cryptocurrency with that thing? or you plan on archiving 12 months worth of Jow Forums?

>consumer level 1PB drives will happen in our lifetime

really makes you think

This will have you use more electrical power, pay more RMA shipping, require more SATA ports,... and obviously it's not "cheaper if one fails" overall if you now got twice as many drives and thus twice as many drive failures on average.

Same reasons why big data that just jams hundreds of these into cases every day tends to use mid sized and larger drives, really.

I want to see a microSD sized EB card for less than $20 before I die.

I want to VR fug kurumi imari before I die.

Seems more likely to happen. What VR porn open sauce framework are you contributing to?

lol wut

This isn't 1997 anymore.

>Standard prefixes should not actually mean what they do in this special snowflake case!
MiB, GiB, etc were made for a reason. Plus devices that humans interact with should use human intuitive number systems. Blame MS for not switching.

>let's call it exadrive even though it's nowhere near one exabyte of storage

*starts clicking after a year*

I always wonder what some of you guys use all this storage for. I have a 512GB SSD and I'm barely at 100GB of stuff.

I hate to say it but you might have a problem user...

porn, chinese cartoons.
and chinese cartoon porn

I don't even watch 90% of I just collect it

On my storage there's basically 4 main categories:

>CentOS Repo for muh servers
>gaymes (I only really play one or two but games are fuckhueg these days)
>Movies/TV shows (by far the largest consumer of space)
>Pictures taken by me or my family/friends

>But >1MB per 10 minutes will never scale! Think how much storage the blockchain would require in a few years!

Why would you need so much space? I can't even fill my 1 tb drive.

>8tb drives still fucking 200+ bucks
When I built my 15TB array in 2011 3tb drives were like 160. What the fuck is this garbage?

Ayy, the only other non-storaglet....

Big blocks could cause the blockchain to be unable to propagate worlwide and cause a network split.

>Nimbus Data
>consumer
pick one

Talking points of the Jew. That kind of problem is still a long ways off, and sure, a better solution than "biggur blockz" is needed in the long run. Meanwhile it's 2018 and considering 100KB/min being even within an order of magnitude of causing a problem is absolutely retarded.

>No windows is just showing it in different units. It actually is showing TiB which is not the same as TB.
First of all, TB actually used to be the same as TiB, but companies started realizing that normies are retarded and started using 1000s instead of 1024s. The cucks then decided to make new names for the actually correct standards instead of fucking forcing the jews to be correct for once.

You cannot make this shit up. Tera is an SI unit and strictly means 10^12.

Well, sorry honey, but in the tech industry, SI means nothing. I miss the days where we'd teach brainlets to use a system and not bend the system over for them to shit on.

Tell that to literally everyone but Microsoft, next time name your units correctly in the first place.

>implying the tech industry don't make mistakes
Nothing went wrong, in fact everything went right which fixed the issue of the abuse of SI units in data storage.

>SMR

yeah nah

No, you use that oversized harddrive for your 4K movie collection. I planned to get the 10 TB, but then got a 6 TB for free. Its almost full, I hope the 18-20 TB release soon so I can get one.

Thank you user, I can't believe we're nearly 50 posts into a thread on big drives and nobody points out that OP is baiting with a shitty SMR drive...

Casual normies that use word and excel for a living use more than 1 TB these days, what the fuck are you even doing?
