Kioxia and Dell cram 10 PB into slim 2RU server

These drives will arrive in the secondary market to be snapped up by businesses lower in the food chain. By the time you can find them they will be ridden hard and put away wet that you probably wont want them.

Can't wait to move my spinning rust NAS to this in 20 years.

I went to QLC for my NAS last cycle. The $/TB was worse, but not by a huge margin, and the performance is quite a bit better (not that it matters).

You can't buy this stuff anymore. They are leased and rented through layers of middlemen.

Remember that season of Silicon Valley on HBO that was all about “the box”? I feel like we’re in that season.

Just waiting for the Gavin Belson edition box.

The very first sentence of this article mistakes Terabytes and Petabytes. I used to dismiss the entire article as poor quality on seeing a mistake like this. But these days it also feels like an indicator the article was written by a human and might actually have something interesting to say.

Sadly not in this case though - the Kioxia drives are interesting, but the fact that Dell has put some in a box is much less so.
