I was browsing some of the tech sites I visit this morning and stumbled on something incredible. I'm sure most of us have seen that Mushkin is releasing a 4TB SSD, but a Japanese company, Fixstar has made a 13TB SSD. This is the same company that released a 6TB SSD a while back. So what do you all think, is it a big step for the SSD world or it is just another SSD.
I want bis(bis(N-trimethylsilyliminodiphenylphosphorano)methanide uranium iodo)toluenediide based harddrives. 100TB per 3.5" should be easy to do then.
It's not practical and almost nobody can afford it I guess. But I think is a step forward needed for the development of new things, like more powerful controllers for example. I can clearly see that thing being useful in the future, but for now is just a proof that we can push boundaries of the actual hardware limitations even more. This SSD made me think about the release on the market of the first "batch" of SSDs. They all costed a fortune, really low capacity and low number of writings possible, but they were a lot faster than HDDs. Now they don't look silly like before and they cost a lot less. I hope I made clear my idea about it. And this argument can be made for many things that right now look like exageration and just exercise of techology but in the future will be really handy (QHD and 4K displays on smartphones = displays for VR headsets).
