26 TB Hard Disk Drives Due Within a Year, 40TB in Five Years Says Toshiba

i'd rather see 8tb under 150eur

 

There are come down but I do agree about the price but no good damn SMR drive there only useful as achieve drive

 

Are they actually decreasing bit error rate with the size increases?

 

it'll likely still be 10^14

 

Funny you say that.

Now that I look predominantly at the Enterprise market, you can get off the shelf 18TB drives for £300 brand new!! Albiet SAS.

I know thats not everyones cup of tea. But since moving away from the consumer NAS (QNAP, Netgear etc) to more server based stuff, with using Freenas (TrunNAS now just have not upgraded yet), i get far better performance and resiliance at a much lower cost. Its just the leap of faith.....

 

330eur for a 18tb exos
wow,that is actually something i'd buy
