This is really exciting news, there hasn't really been any big leaps in HDD capacities in a long time, +12TB perhaps even +20TB in one generation is huge. I hop

This is really exciting news, there hasn't really been any big leaps in HDD capacities in a long time, +12TB perhaps even +20TB in one generation is huge. I hope they are going to be reasonably priced, but given the competition has nothing, 1k+? I really hope not.
- jl6 3y agoThey will probably be competitively priced per terabyte, which will make each drive an expensive component. There will also be a small margin for the convenience of having a single drive rather than multiple drives, and an “early adopter tax” because it’s new tech. So yes, a 32TB unit is very likely to debut at >$1k.
- lyu07282 3y agoa 20TB seagate is ~$350 right now, so >$1k would not be "competitively priced per terabyte". But I still agree that its likely going to be >1k because storage density per disk is also a factor (and greed obviously).
