Samsung unveils 30.72TB SSD with blazing fast performance

20 February 2018
The company crammed 40GB of DRAM to improve the drive's speed.

Sort by:

I just really want them 4TB SSDs to become really cheap (below $500), want to transform my TS-470 Pro to an all-SSD NAS...

    For those addicted to adult art industry let say it this way its 30 TB nothing. They will fill this SSD Disk within a week or two :-)
    Anyway gonna buy one for up to 120 euro soon as it will be available.
    For people who know how when and where is that easy.

            Eske Rahn, 20 Feb 2018At first this statement "that’s the whole drive – each day... more30 TB daily x 2000 days means 5TB daily x 12000 days.

            This drive should last really long assuming (as above) 1/6th of its content gets replaced everyday.

              AnonD-737204, 20 Feb 2018Your laptop aint gonna take a 3.5 SAS drive.It'a 2.5mm sas drive. Back in the day there were some super high end laptops which supported sas drives as secondary drives ... yeah I know weird. Don't know if such a thing exists still, doubt it in fact. But technically it could have been doable. Not that most of anyone would needs a 30TB SAS drive for their laptop ... but who knows ... crazy people.

                  It is just seen from another perspective. Multiplying things up, make things sound big.
                  When an area is worn, by more that the roughly 2000 writes, it is lost from the total capacity.

                  So of course if it is a smaller area that is written a lot of times, the capacity will only dwindle slowly.

                          Jordan Wylde, 20 Feb 2018I can guess how much this would be: $20,000 US. I wonder if... more15,000$ sounds more realistic since 1Tb SSD costs 350-450$

                            I can guess how much this would be: $20,000 US. I wonder if Linus Tech Tips will do a review.

                                      ~ignoring the joke~

                                      3.5" bay is the PC sized hard drive, also SAS interface and 12v power probably, will be an issue
