Well, largest this week. And
Yeah, $800 isn’t a small chunk of change, but for a hard drive of this capacity, it’s monumentally cheap.
Nah, a 24TB is $300 and some 20TB's are even lower $ per TB.

You need a week to fill the hecking disk. flips server rack up in disappointment

So how much data would I lose when it dies?
Edit for those who didn’t read the smirk, yes 36Tb, as a way to point out what someone answered below: if you’re using a drive this big have your data recovery procedures on fleek.

Assuming you aren't striping, up to 36 TB. If you follow even halfway decent practices with basically any kind of RAID other than 0, hopefully 0 Bytes.
The main worry with stuff like this is that it potentially takes a while to recover from a failed drive even if you catch it in time (alert systems are your friend). And 36 TB is a LOT of data to work through and recover which means a LOT of stress on the remaining drives for a few days.

Do you need it? Probably not. Do you want it? Oh, yeah.

I think if I needed to store 36TB of data, I would rather get several smaller disks.

But if you hate your data there's no quicker way to lose it than a single 36TB Seagate drive.

It will take about 36 hours to fill this drive at 270mb/s
That’s a long time to backup your giraffe porn collection.

I don't think the target audience of this drive is buying one. They are trying to optimize for density and are probably buying in bulk rather than paying the $800 price tag.

You'd go broke. Of course it's all Linux, family archives and DNA test data, BTC blockchain, backed up FOSS projects, archives of Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg and OpenStreetMap, and of course - POVRay renders.

That's why Seagate is the last word in the title.

And linux distros
Just say it's full of porn, it's easier to explain

aren’t striping
I think you mean "are striping".
But even with striping you have backups right? Local redundancy is for availability, not durability.

I paid $600+ for a 24 TB drive, tax free. I feel robbed. Although I'm glad not to shop at Newegg.
