So, just for fun. The video quotes "over 1PB" of storage per box. I count 6 columns of 15 rows/drives. Might be 7 columns even, there's some panels that aren't

So, just for fun. The video quotes "over 1PB" of storage per box.
I count 6 columns of 15 rows/drives. Might be 7 columns even, there's some panels that aren't fully open on the video.
So, 90-105 drives. I'm guessing they are using 10TB drives, although maybe they can get bigger unannounced drives? Roughly, the math seems to check out.
Quite impressive. Guess the Backblaze guys need a Storage Pod 6.0 soon :P (I know, I know, different requirements/constraints)
- atYevP 11y agoYev from Backblaze here -> Yea :D Though if we used 10TB drives we could get about 450TB in one pod, it would just be hilariously expensive for us to do so. Granted that's not 1PB per pod, but we'd imagine our costs are lower. But yes, different use-cases, and we're working on 6.0 ;-)
- simonlc 11y agoSomeone said above that they support 10 and 14TB drives.
