Do we know it will cost this much? A 4TB one is $2200 or less.

- sliverstorm 11y agoPrice often goes asymptotic at the cutting edge.
- tanderson92 11y agonitpick, but you almost certainly mean to add "asymptotically vertical"; asymptotic alone doesn't tell you anything a bout which direction the price curve is heading, only that it is approaching some limit.
- Dylan16807 11y agoContext makes it quite clear that it's going up. "Asymptotic" is a perfectly good description of an acceleration. You can always add more words to take something that is perfectly clear and try to make it more clear. Add enough and you make it harder to understand. So I prefer it written the way it is.
- tanderson92 11y agoy = (-3x^2 + 2)/(x-1) is asymptotic both as x->1 and x->\infty. Precise language matters, one should not rely on the crutch of context if one wants to be clear.
- droopyEyelids 11y agoyou're reducing precision of the expression by adding extraneous data. The orientation of the asymptote is fully expressed by the context of price and the notion of high-end computing.
- glitch 11y agoIt's obvious from the context. Adding "vertical" is unnecessary. This is conversational writing, not legal nor instructional writing.
- ild 11y agoBut this is not Reddit either.
- zeckalpha 11y agoIsn't that a tautology?
