sounds nice, I'll believe it when I see it

Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

yeah i mean, theres no way lol. even if the tech gets here that quickly there's 0% chance prices come down significantly on lower capacity drives. these'll be at least $500 and possibly far far more
So is that enough for the modern warfare installer or
20 TB at that price range could brankrupt some small cloud providers. Selfhosting would be much easier without having to worry about space. IF the price stays the same, but we'll see.
I’d be interested what the wear-leveling and write-cycles look like. $250 for 20TB is half the current price of decent spinning rust, but if they’ll die in a year because they’re part of a Ceph cluster or ZFS array, that’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.

No? Like, not at all.
WD Red Pro 20TB = $420 MSRP, $380 cheapest I’ve found. Not considering taxes/shipping in that
So, you’re splitting hairs by saying that’s not half. Point stands
It would be amazing if PCIe lanes becomes the predominant limiting factor, rather than drive cost, for building large storage arrays. What a world it would be, when even Epyc and its lanes-for-days proves to be insufficient for large ~~Chia miners~~ err ~~Plex servers~~ uh, Linux ISO mirrors.
Do I need a 20TB boot drive? No. Do I want it enough to pay $250? Yes, absolutely. I'm running 1TB now and I need to manage my space far more often than I'd like, despite the fact that I keep my multimedia on external mass storage. Also, sometimes the performance of that external HD really is a hindrance. I'd love to just have (almost) everything on my primary volume and never worry about it.
It's kind of weird how I have less internal storage today than I did 15 years ago. I mean, it's like 50 times faster, but still.
I'm not super-skeptical about the pricing. This stuff can't stay expensive forever, and 2027 is still a ways off.
Maybe I should put off building a NAS for the time being.
Yeah…. I think I’ll still need to pick up some drives this year, but I might do less robust of a build out
Generally the more layers you add to an SSD the less robust it is. If this is real your data will be corrupt within a week.
I mean you can say the same for spinning magnetic platters. "The more bits you're trying to squeeze into a fixed size HDD the less robust it is."
I'm not saying these guys can do it, but dismissing higher densities of storage out of hand seems a bit glib considering the last 60 years of progress and innovation.
They're a flat-storager.
Should work perfectly with Flatpack apps then!
