>I just bought an 18 TB SATA drive for my main desktop I think one of the big issues is the performance of the disk. At 200 MB/s (which is generous for a spinning disk) it would take more than 24 hours to read all the data from the disk. With those kind of performance characteristics, I suspect that it makes redundancy and checking for integrity much more complicated.
