Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered
DapuStor becomes the sixth vendor worldwide to show a 122.88TB SSD after Samsung, Phison, Sandisk, Kioxia and Solidigm
“For personal users, this SSD can store 11,000 90-minute 4K movies,”
This is less useful than libraries of congress.
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.
Buy a dozen and you could fit a good chunk of LibGen.
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.
Yeah really. It's been years since I saw a 90m movie.
Almost two years of non stop video.
Yeah but are there any good ones?
Yeah. My video collection tend not to be that long. Like 10mins normally.
finally, a drive big enough to hold a 4th AAA game 😌
You could even squeeze a quadruple A game on there
Regardless of where it’s made hopefully it brings down the price of drives for the rest of us.
drives down the price
'Chineese startup nobody has heard of.'
...am... I racist for immediately thinking scam? Like.. they shoved a couple thumb drives in a fancy case level of scam?
At this point, yeah, a bit. But it is a common racism to have right now, and the first step on the path to getting rid of it is knowing you have it.
Plus, the headline is really leading in that direction too, the article itself makes it pretty clear that it is a real, reputable product. Their wording in the headline is technically correct, they specifically call it a company "you've likely never encountered" rather than "noone has heard of", the company has already been at the forefront before and announced that they would be again in 2025, this is fulfilling that promise.
I would say it’s bad because the only reason low quality products exist from China is because there is a company ordering them, typically American. All of our expensive tech comes from there any you haven’t heard of most of those companies
startup nobody has heard of
There, now that sentence isn't racist because that sounds like a scam without any additional details.
But it is a startup you've probably never encountered, which is saying more about them not being known outside of their home country which is a bit different.
No because Chinese isn't a race its a nationality. If you used one of the races there like Han The predominate race there. than yes it would be racist. The Han are in fact often refereed to has the real Chinese. But china is made up of many races not just the one.
Resiliency dilemma. Which type of redundancy to choose.
can I put this thing in a laptop or is it made for a bigger computer like a desktop?
Sounds like a typical scam
Sure, six vendors all decided to release scam SSDs of similar sizes.
Very good but can someone please invent a 4TB drive that costs less than it did five years ago?
I don't know about HDDs but for SSDs they hit a very low price
lastSeptember 2023, and the companies decided to cut production so the prices go up again. It worked, today SSD drives are more expensive than last year. I bet they did something similar to the HDD, but it's only hypothetical.
