Seagate Reveals 60TB SSD

If Sun's ZFS monster, the 2005 Thumper's SATA controllers could handle these drives, or if we use some of SuperMIcro's gear... we'd be looking at things like 2.7PB usable in a single 4U server today!

Do we know what the IOPS is?

No
You're not going to jump on me over latency of the drive etc? All of the other considerations that go into hard drives? I'm surprised. You must like me

Found it, 150K

I didn't see, is that thing SATA, SAS or pcie connected? That makes sense with a SATA drive, isn't that close to the max you can push over a SATA bus?

Literally they were posted back to back...dammit!

SATA and SAS can do a lot of IOPS, it's bandwidth where they are most limited.

I'm surprised this thing is SAS, but maybe the bandwidth isn't the issue, just sheer storage is?
With things like this, I see a time in the very near future where nothing ever captured will ever be destroyed, deleted.

We're well past the point that I've heard that predicted for, I forget the exact time, but in the early 2000s is what I heard. With the new NSA data centers, that prediction looks prescient to me.

Hmm.. .I hear what you are saying... but I thought I heard that the amount of data created daily would still fill that NSA data center in like 4 years.. soooooo.....

You think they only built the one?

We really need an alternative power source. Powering all of these data centers is a lot. Pretty soon the earth is just going to be rows and rows of racks. Like that episode of Silicon Valley. We're just going to be mole people.
