    Got Storage?

    http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...n/IMG00082.jpg

    I give you the new ULTRA SATA ZOMG drive. No longer do you need vast arrays just one of these drives will hold all your shit for the forseeable future...

    *EDIT* Just to clarify thats a single drive attached to a raid card.

    I take it the thing doesn't bother knowing what a petabyte is.

    A single drive? Unlikely. JBOD = Just a Bunch Of Drives. It's a set of drives that appears as a single drive to the bios. I'll admit that I have no clue how they got that many drives hooked up like that, but that's not a single hard drive.

    The drive is a single drive configured as Jbod.

    A single drive can be configured as Jbod its like you said just a bunch of drives and they're all configured as Jbod. I will say its a big misleading. I found it hilarious so I took a pic of it with my cell phone and posted it here.

    Its a bad raid card reading the drive size wrong...one of the many hilarities that I have to deal with on a day to day basis <3 my job. Its fun to fuck with people like this if I get more of these gems ill post them.

    The cost of a drive that big today would be unthinkable. The 10TB drives are what? 2k~2.5K?

    Platter the size of a football field spinning at 15k. Would pay to sit in a stadium and watch that thing read and write all day.
    And then it would implode, or the earth would go off of orbit or something.
