- megous 9y ago8TB HDD were manufactured only since 2014.
- zeep 9y agonot sure when they came out but pretty sure that you could get 8TB SSDs before that
- megous 9y agoBuying 100 mil. 8TB SSDs when SSD market is even smaller than HDD market would be not possible without everyone noticing. That's entire year (2015) of total SSD units production. 8TB drives would be at the time a tiny fraction of the total.
- zeep 9y agoI think that you underestimate the US Government... they are not a regular consumer...
