I had an Xbox and it didn't do that either!!!

These are literally only sold by the rack to data centers.

What are you going on about?

Don't forget to include the hacked controller firmware that reports the drive size as triple what it actually is.

There are:

They are just not listed in shops for poor people. (joking)

Triple? That'd rookie numbers.

Well, Kioxia sells a 30TB 2.5in SSD right now for about $5k. I'm sure they could make a 60+TB SSD by just stacking 2 of them in a 3.5in case.

Flash drives are much worse than hard drives for cold storage. The charge in flash will leak.

If you want cheap storage, back it up to another drive and unplug it.

cool. now I can lose even more data when it dies.

no thanks...

When running a local node, the most other people could possibly see is that "x IP is running a Monero node"

When connecting to a remote node, the node can see:

• Your IP address
• When you submit a transaction (which could link your IP to your transactions)
• The last block your wallet synced (which could be used to determine when you usually use/spent monero last)

It's also possible for a remote node to feed your wallet a manipulated list of decoys, which can reduce the anonymity of the transaction you submit by allowing the remote node to simply remove the fake decoys to find which isn't the decoy (you.)

No thanks. I'd rather have 4TB SSDs that cost $100. We were getting close to that in 2023, but then the memory manufacturers decided to collude and jacked up prices.

Yeah, I'd expect the bloat to hit when there is a boost in SSD sizes. Right now I think the biggest consumer-grade SSDs are 8TB and are still rather expensive.

phrasing

If you aren't running a home server with tons of storage, this product is not for you. If the price is right, 40TB to 50TB is a great upgrade path for massive storage capacity without having to either buy a whole new backplane to support more drives or build an entirely new server. I see a lot of comments comparing 4TB SSDS to 40TB HDD's so had to chime in. Yes, they make massive SSD storage arrays too, but a lot of us don't have those really deep pockets.

It's always worth paying more for Western Digital.

64TB and 100TB, niiiice

I expect many are not upgrading every small incremental improvement too. It's the 20TB HDDs that are ready to replace.

I thought prices seemed to be taking a while come down on 4TB SSDs as I had been looking at them for a while.

Don't really want it enough to spend £200 though. Would be to replace a 1+2TB HDD LVM. Now that I think about it, I have never copied a few TBs of data in one go.

You do realize that there is probably a fair chunk of people on here who can say that unironically?

I feel like heat would start to become a serious issue at that point.
