How expensive are they, $100,000 or maybe more?

[–] Abird1620@sh.itjust.works 18 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (4 children)

$4.5k from a quick search.

Edit: I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE THAT NUMBER CAME FROM LAST NIGHT

This states that a 32tb ssd costs roughly $7000

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 17 points 8 months ago

≈$35/TB or ≈3.4¢/GB Actually not a bad deal at all, consider the current SSD prices.

[–] BreakDecks@lemmy.ml 9 points 8 months ago

That's actually pretty reasonable.

I'm going to need a source for that, as it's well below even regular consumer SSDs.

[–] Abird1620@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Like I said, quick search, and unfortunately, I doubt anyone else looked it up. Soooo here is an article that says a 32tb cards goes for about $7000.

Hmm. As a personal user, 9k to not worry about storage space or redundancy, for at least a decade seems like a pretty great deal.

[–] femboy_bird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Looks like 40k a pop

They aren't going to be available for a long time. This is for a controller that can support that capacity. Even then, it's going to be more for servers than home users.
