I wouldn't be surprised if they have all this tech developed for 256TB hard drives already but they're deliberately announcing it slowly over the years to buffer their time to do more research, lest they announce 256TB too fast and shareholders are like "why don't we have 1PB already damnit" a quarter later and short the stock to oblivion

Think of products like ICEs, industrial processes or mature/standardised commodities At what point does an influencial government say "it's unlikely there is substantial innovation to be uncovered for ___ product" and begin the process of deprivatisation for good of the public?
