There are 61.44 TB NVMe drives (best price I've seen right now is ~6200. They were ~4800 earlier this year). You can have a 1U server with 32 E1.L slots so you should be able to fit ~1.9PB raw storage into 1U for a little over $200k. Don't know how business financing works, but at 8% interest with a 5 year amortization, that's a bit over $4k/month.
- mobilemidget 2y agoDo you have any good recommendation for such 1U server with 32 slots? Thanks

- hallway_monitor 2y agoShows 2U in order to fit 32 drives, but hopefully you can find a 2U slot for this absolute monster of a storage box if you have that need.
- ndriscoll 2y agoThis one is 1U and supports dual socket CPU and 6 TB RAM: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/system/1U/1029/SSG-1029P-NEL32R.cfm https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/system/1U/1029/SSG-10... I've never done procurement so can't really speak to recommendations. I just see that the products apparently exist. There's also 32 drive 1U JBOF enclosures for more expansion: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/system/1u/136/ssg-136r-nel32jbf.cfm https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/system/1u/136/ssg-136...
