Question 30TB/ 32TB HDD

[braxus]

It's been announced for over a year now, but when do you think we'll see 30TB or 32TB hard disc drives on the market? I'm running out of space with a 22TB drive with my video files and I can't add in any more drives into my case. So I'd like to get 1 larger drive.

Different pc case with support for more drives.
Or NAS device with support for multiple drives.

Anyway you'll probably have to wait for some time later this year, before they are available to market.

My case is already one of the bigger ones you can get and I need 5 1/4" support in it too, which is very limited today. Plus its big enough for the current huge GPUs. I just got this case not long ago, so I have no intentions of upgrading once again for that.

What model case do you have currently?

Here some options with support for 8 - 12 drives.

Is there a real need for all of this internally?
Why not a NAS?

Its so odd to see the external drive bays at the bottom with that fractal case.

What I would do is get a dual 5.25 drive bay to 3.5 drive adaptor, remove the front fan plate of the adaptor and attach it in the front above the external bay.

Something like this:
