Why build bigger drives if you can do the same with the existing drives, RAID and SSD caching?
- katbyte 5y agoBecause you need to store 100s of TBs?
- chefkoch 5y agoAnd you can't this with zfs and the likes?
- katbyte 5y agothe $/Tb is far less with HDDs than SSDs and that doesn't show any sign of changing soon. HDD can go as low as 0.014$ per gb, while SSDs at their lowest are 0.070$ - 4x more storage for your $ and it also doesn't expire due to writes. https://diskprices.com/?locale=us&condition=new,used&units=gb&capacity=16-&disk_types=external_hdd,external_hdd25,internal_hdd,internal_hdd25,internal_sshd,internal_sas,external_ssd,internal_ssd,m2_ssd,m2_nvme https://diskprices.com/?locale=us&condition=new,used&units=g...
