Nit pick, this is a 256TB SSD, so you’d need four to make a PB of raw space, and probably more than that to allow for RAID and effective space. PBSSD is their name for tech to enable PB scale arrays of such SSDs.

Yeah no doubt, a RAID would be more effective. But still a 256TB SSD is absolutely insane when you think about it, compared to where technology was 10 or 20 years ago.

Hell, my first external drive was 120MB. That was to augment the storage of my 80GB internal drive.

Good lord, I remember our home PC having a 145gb drive, thereabouts.

My first hard drive was 20 megabytes. That was considered hugely advanced… you couldn’t even boot from it, needed a boot floppy.

I remember when my family’s home PC had a 500 MB hard drive.

And before then at school the old comps had no hard drive, just rom for the OS and a disk drive
