There are 16TB 2.5" SSDs now, unless it must be mechanical.



There are even ~62TB 2.5” ssds. I think there’s one from Solidigm/Intel.


Caveat: Only available if you have a budget on the order of $100-300k USD.


Seems like it’s around $8k. Which is obviously a lot, but not that bad when looking at $/GB cost. (61.4TB for $8k).

Wow that is pretty incredible! Thanks for the correction.


What vendor? All I can find is 3.5" :-(


What does that go for, price of a used car?


Dell sells a VisionTek 16TB for... $3800.

(Rural problems: I tried to find a used car under $3800 on Craigslist here and there's less than 5 vehicles total 'by owner' and none of them drive on their own power. Maybe this is a good deal?)


Only a factor of 20 higher than the equivalent 16tb spinning rust. Not as bad as I expected to be honest.


If it were PCIe it would be a screaming deal, but it's sata. That would take a hot minute to fill at a max 500 megs/sec.
