Awesome!

Sweet!!

Not that I need it... not that I would fully utilize it... not that I could afford... but heck yeah I definitely want it!

I wager that with an SSD that big, Oshunluver could install a copy of the top 300 Linux distros using Btrfs and booting from the same grub menu, and have room to spare!

Love the storage space and speed. Want longer lifetime...

Thirty TB/day read-write guaranteed for FIVE years isn’t enough? I’d be happy if my $50 external USB 320GB 5,400 RPM HDs had lasted that long.

In another 5-10 yrs those 30TB SSDs will be selling for $100 and the new 30YB SSDs will allow the capture of every keystroke or mouse move, with state machine capture points allowing rollback to any point. With 100 hour battery life.

I'm hoping for the proverbial "more than a human lifetime" storage media. And I want it in my lifetime (the next 10 years might be adequate), I'll try to hang on until then...

Yottabytes of storage... What will that to do to "cloud" storage companies? "Sorry, but I already have enough local space and don't need to pay for external storage".

Will the internet be able to support the traffic at that time? I'll be downloading the Library of Congress, The Smithsonian data collection and a few more miscellaneous Terabytes of random data.

And then there is the need for buffer storage in the transporter units.

That's already been invented and used. It's called "Stone".

At 76 I'll feel fortunate if I hit 80, and the way my mortal coil is losing its springiness that might be optimistic.

IF I'm still around then, and not drooling on my shirt, I'll upgrade to a 1Gbps fiber optic symmetrical connection with no data cap (I currently have 0.1Gbps with those specs) and start down loading those two resources and everything else I can get my mouse on, and let them DL for 24/7/365 until finished. Then I'll make copies and give them to my son and grandsons. (I'm not sexist, I don't have any granddaughters, or I'd give them copies too.)

I currently have only 1.36TiB of storage and have used only 120.37GiB.

I suspect that within the next 5-10 years the Internet will be totally walled off by the likes of Google, Facebook, Twitter, YT, Verizon, AT&T, Spectrum and similar oligarchies, all with government help.

I can't imagine the amount of stone it would take to preserve even my smallest 80GB drive...

I also share your fears for where the 'net will be in 10 years...

Vinny, I won't be buying at that price either...

I wasn't thinking so much about how much stone it would take, there's plenty around, I was wondering how long it would take you to carve all those 0's & 1's into the stone to record your data. Reading it would be slow, too!

Announcements like this one remind me how far the performance of these computing technologies have come since the day I brought home my new Commodore 64, and make me appreciate the performance of the systems I own today. I remember waiting for Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets to recalculate on PC-AT hardware. I remember figuring out the Winzip command to get my data backup to span several dozen floppy diskettes. Today I rarely think about storage capacity, RAM, or CPU speed -- much less keyboard and mouse connections, bus interfaces, or all the other headaches of the 1980s and 1990s. My 3,000 page website compiles in about 5 minutes and uploads in about 20 minutes -- it's just click, click, click and then go get a cup of coffee while the work is done automatically. I casually download 10 or 20 MB of photos from my cell phone and it never occurs to me to wonder whether there's going to be a problem saving it on my ~2 TB of btrfs filesystem on a pair of Western Digital hard drives. We've come a very long way, and one can only wonder at what the future holds. Apparently it's only going to get better.

Altruistically, look at the jobs which will be created for stone workers and quarrymen. Of course there is always the danger of automation taking over, cheap rocks being imported from third world countries, hey, even fake rocks which will crumble in the first hard freeze. Then we add the jobs created to manufacture mobile library trucks for hauling stone slabs. Perhaps the railroad can be used for this... Imagine an endless train of rail cars, moving slowing throughout the country, with viewing platforms in each town for those who want the most current news in digital form. I can go on if there is any interest in perusing this further...
