It’s going to cost you a small fortune, though.
The punchline -
However, you must be prepared to spend a pretty penny to get this device, as it costs $78,999. It comes with all the drives included, though, which cost more than $7,340 apiece, so you’re saving money on that.
I remember a decade ago my boss came back from NAB really excited to see a petabyte that fit in 1 standard rack, made up entirely of spinning disks (which he caused some concern to onlookers by immediately opening the thing and pulling out random disks to see how the system handled it). Now this has roughly half that capacity and can sit on the desk.
Same. I worked for a storage company and when we broke 1PB per rack we broke a freight elevator moving one to a different floor, had to buy a new rack lift for the storage nodes, and eventually had to actually have structural engineers come in and assess if the building could handle converting the test lab to fit a few dozen of them.
I checked in on my old employer recently and they’re up to 58PB in 42U now
