I can't remember where I saw it, but I think each of these high capacity drives is in well into the 15-25k price range.
replySo a petabyte will be $600-800k alone, plus a server with enough high-speed PCIe lanes to serve the 40+ drives, definitely $1m+
They are likely 200USD+ per TB, so one 250TB drive would be ~50,000USD.
replyThere’s probably bulk pricing, but if you bought 40 drives separately thats 2,000,000USD in storage alone.
It's actually now at least 400 per tb.
replyThe 64's are 25k, up from 6k a year ago. I have to imagine the 128's or 256's are at least 500/tb
$500 on Facebook Marketplace in 20 years time.
replyMore than you can afford cause you had to ask, ha
replyYou can't buy this stuff anymore. They are leased and rented through layers of middlemen.
reply> anymore
replyCould you ever buy it?
The 64's and 128's could be bought, and were not even totally unreasonable, price wise, at intro (IE <100/tb).
replyConcretely: a 64TB was like 6000 bucks last year. You could get them easily. It's now 25,000 for the same SSD.
