Samsung starts shipping the world's largest capacity SSD

  > Since you'd probably have to try very, very hard to use up all that space if you only need a drive for personal use I'd fill it as fast as fast as the SATA 3 interface allows. And I would need another (admittedly smaller) disk to fit the rest of my data. Not everybody has a fiber connection and lives in the cloud.

    Hosting 16TB of data in the cloud would cost you mucho mucho dollars anyway. And not counting a fast enough internet connection to upload that much data.

      The bandwidth to transfer that volume of data is available for the cost of shipping the drive to wherever it needs to be. Higher transfer rates, e.g. overnight shipping, cost a bit more than lower rates, e.g. USPS Priority Mail's three days. But the difference between rates for transferring the atoms is rounding error relative to the cost of a wire that can transfer the bits. Sneakernet is still relevant at the bleeding edge.

    FWIW, this drive is SCSI / SAS (12Gb/s)
