1,000,000 GB
Thats called a Petabyte…
The E2 drives are 200 millimeters (7.9 inches) in length, measuring 76 mm (3 inches) in height, and just 9.5 mm thick (0.4 inches).
So two of them would be roughly the size of a dual fan GPU. I can definitely see how it would make sense for servers. With that heigh it should just fit in 2U. And then you can probably fit like 30 of them side by side, or more, depending on how much space you need in between for cooling.
In that physical footprint of the E2 drives you could roughly fit 18 M.2 SSD (2280), but they would still have to be 55 TB each to reach the 1 PB headline, or 16.6 TB each to reach the level of their 300 TB prototype. I think the max you get at the moment would be 8 TB for a 2280 form factor, so they still have pretty good density on their prototype.
Not to mention m.2 are horrible for data storage due to them basically being a flaming gun stick.
Yeahhhh, another revolution! We me up 20 years from now when it’s available in stores for consumers
Finally, a drive that will last me longer than one week.
And it will be available in 10-20 years at much less than 1000 TB and will still cost more than 10 € per TB.
You just made my pirate leg a foot longer
