Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered (www.techradar.com)

“For personal users, this SSD can store 11,000 90-minute 4K movies,”

This is less useful than libraries of congress.

Yeah. My video collection tend not to be that long. Like 10mins normally.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I disagree. I very much want something like this at some point for media storage. One of these babies could replace all of my spinning disk drives.

[–] egidighsea@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Make sure you make backups - it’s better to have multiple small drives in case of failure than one big, but in any case 3-2-1 backups!

[–] mac@lemm.ee 13 points 3 days ago

I only 3-2-1 my photos and configs. No need to back up my Linux isos

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I meant the measure quoted

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Then I guess I disagree for a different reason—the ballpark estimate definitely helped me conceptualize how far that storage would go for me.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It doesn't say the bitrate of said movies so it is indeed useless

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 days ago

It’s a ballpark average. The point is that it translates to “a holy shit ton of movies”. I need to store a holy shit ton of movies.

Buy a dozen and you could fit a good chunk of LibGen.

[–] Jeffool@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Yeah really. It's been years since I saw a 90m movie.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

Honestly, that size of drive doesn't need a comparison. This isn't for your average user, so you don't need to dumb it down for them.

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Almost two years of non stop video.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah but are there any good ones?
