no links? you link to seagate prototype, but not to the shipping drive? Where is this available.

We received the information in an email. I'll be sure to get more info at Flash Memory Summit early next month.

Viking usually sells direct. If you would like to purchase the drive I can put you in touch.

"Considering today's prices, we're looking in the range of $18,000, and that's before the enterprise markup. Data centers are steadily moving to higher-density SSDs, but a 50TB SSD is still sure to be a rarity. "

If you have need of one of these, it is available at the other end of a phone conversation.

That is pretty impressive. Data centers will surely eat these up even at 18K a pop that is nothing for 50TB of SSD.

91.25TB Is worth 2 days! 365*5*50 TB = 91.25PB

Sharp eye, thanks! "T" instead of "P," fixed!

 

[Johan Kryger Haglert]

That's some amazing reliability.

And you need at least 2 of those for RAID....

Humm, 18k? you're using linear projection? This is a unique product, which they are the only ones to ship. I'm sure it's much, much more expensive than 18k.

Really 18k is not that much. Just bought a server for 23k that has 27TB of storage, and SAS drives are on the increase for cost.
