But still content keeps growing, and income per user won't. Doesn't that mean that at one point you're out of runway?

- winkeltripel 4y agoNot really. As costs go up, you can mitigate by pushing more of your data out to slower mediums, like hdd.
- Spooky23 4y agoI don’t think so. The highest speed storage is cheaper than ever and getting cheaper. That’s the expensive stuff. Our “big” high speed storage array was like $5M in 2012. Now it’s like 10x bigger, 5x faster, and 40% of the cost. Bulk spinning disk prices drop at a slower rate but historically they are performance bound. The marginal byte of cold data has no marginal cost, as you always have lots of space on disks where you’re short on IO budget. Really cold workloads that need to live on-prem for reasons and need to be retained for 30+ years can go even cheaper. That stuff lives on tape at a lower price point, like a half penny per raw gig.
