My path into programming went through several "Moshe Yanai companies" (as we call them here). So, I see Pure more as a competition rather than something I'd use for my own stuff. I've used similar equipment from eg. Infinidat, but I'd struggle to think about what an individual person would possibly do with such a thing. Being a storage enthusiast in general, I was looking for a reason to convince my wife to spend time on building home NAS, but even in my wildest dreams I couldn't think about a use for this much space. Even though my wife is a researcher with a government org, the datasets she works with can typically fit on a USB stick... Even working on several projects at a time she doesn't have enough data to justify buying a dedicated enclosure for a bunch of disks :(
I guess, maybe if you are in video editing that would pay off? But what else is there that an individual may plausibly be doing that needs so much room?
- luma 4y agoI've been on calls w/ Moshe :D Infinidat is all about capacity, we tend to see them as B2D targets or for long term warm storage. Pure is more about performance. They have never shipped a device with spinning disks in them, so even their capacity series is all flash. The m series I'm using (now the X series) is designed for ultra low latency, even under heavy load I almost never see read or write times north of 1ms.
