    Just wondering how long it will take for the obligatory 'that is a lot of data to lose in one hit' comments to commence.

    Things seem unusually slow at the moment.

      Pretty sure you just started them :P

      At some point people probably said that about 18GB hard drives!

      • oshkoshjosh4 on 20/03/2021 - 16:36

        It's not about the size, but the time time it takes to rebuild an array. While drives sizes have gotten dramatically larger over time, read and write speeds haven't.

    • gizmomelb on 26/02/2021 - 22:49

      only noobs would run a single drive of that size, it should always be part of a RAID array.

      • CarpeDiem295 on 27/02/2021 - 02:36

        also have another raid array at a different location syncing with that over the internet.

          I have a backup RAID array mirrored to my private island, only accessible by helicopter. Sometimes I fly out, sit in a chair and stroke my cat.

            @zan5hin: I hope your cat consents too you "stroking" it.

            @zan5hin: Hope the ransomware doesn't lay dormant and propagate to the island.

      just buy 2 and raid 1 them, problem solved!

    Note the 18tb mybook is about $550pp.

    It’s cool that you can get so much storage in one drive, but definitely paying a premium for the extra few TBs at this stage.

    This is great for any porn historian out there.

    that is a lot of data to lose in one hit, so I bought 2 for backup

  • futaris on 27/02/2021 - 02:47

    I'm sure in 2021, 18TB drives are available in every corner drugstore, but in 1955, it's a little hard to come by.

    • Chris McMahon on 27/02/2021 - 03:46

      Great Scott! Hard drives weren't commercially available until 1956. Here is the very first ~5MB hard drive.

    For anyone that cares, actual formatted capacity is 16.37TB. Thanks decimal measuring system :)

      thats my disclaimer on tinder

    • sachz on 27/02/2021 - 08:55

      that's a deal breaker right there for me!

  • nuker on 27/02/2021 - 07:59

    Why the product pic has baby poo colour instead of shiny gold brick?

      Well, you know, the obsolete metal usually oxidized.
