Aussie69 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Western Digital & Seagate release helium 10TB HDD at consumer level pricing. I am a professionally trained IT guy (software engineering) in late 90s, but these magnetic platter data densities blow my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob13 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Way too big for my needs. How much do they cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 $590.https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=10+tb+internal+hard+drive&tag=googhydr-20&index=electronics&hvadid=86274688345&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11410066163356520480&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_45t73qcj49_b Makes little sense when you can get an 8TB for $240.

guzzi850m2 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The highest cap hhd's ssd, sd cards and so on are always much more expensive than the 2nd highest cap ones. I normally settle for the 2nd the 3rd highest cap ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a current trend of external HDDs selling at a lower price than internal HDDs for the same capacity - which is strange when the cost of the casing should add to the external HDD price. Last month I just ordered a Seagate 5TB external HDD for $120 from Amazon. Arrived in 2 days - the benefit of the US supply chain system. Today I see the same item is selling for $110. That's less than 2.4 cents/GB, which must be the current Best Value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drupopuppis Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Wait and see what is coming up in not son so long. There will be flash memory to store in excess of those numbers, thanks to quantum computing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignis Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 maybe the old way of looking at things but that is a lot of data to lose if the HDD fails... OK in more resent years have upgraded both my mind set and HDD and know have 4x 1TB HDD's even so 2x 1TB HDD's have failed both replaced FREE as still within guarantee..

That is a lot of data to lose unless you have it backed up somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I use the Drobo5N. Hot swappable, better protection than any single RAID level, mix and match drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than any single RAID?? What I see is this more or less a normal RAID 5 or 6, depending on your configuration. And the BeyondRaid, is nothing more than a layer over the Raid for easier migration of different disks... Similar to the Hybrid Raid from Synology. But yes and easy and cheap Raid solution. And more easy than most NAS to handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 SSD sizes are starting to get larger than HDD's. Samsung 15TB SSD with a price tag of USD10.000. http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/tech-news-samsungs-15tb-pm1633a-ssd-now-available-purchase-us10000 I'll hope that in the next few years, the SSD prices are going to be less than HDD prices per TB. It should happen as the manufacturing numbers keep on growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Samsung is now talking about 2.5" SSD with 32TB capacity.
