Are there actual situations where you would even want this much data on a single drive?
>Compared to stacking eight 32TB SSDs, one 256TB SSD consumes approximately seven times less power, despite storing the same amount of data.
This is aimed for servers, where the electricity costs are higher because they are running 24/7 and space is limited. Also less power means less heat.

I do digital histology, and our (research) lab currently has 204TB of image files. They live in a data center, of course, but if my institution decided to spin us off as a company or something and we needed to move the data, it'd be way faster to download it to disk and upload it in the destination center. I'm not really sure we'd do it with just one giant drive instead of a whole lot of 1TB ones, but who knows. (I'm…
Any bets on the price for this?
