Woah 40 terabytes on a single drive Data hoarders will love that drive
Earlier roadmaps set a goal of reaching 100TB by the end of the decade.
Linux ISOs here I come!
It'll be interesting to see how reliable these things are. That's a lot of data to store in one place and RAID rebuild times will be long.
Aren't RAID rebuilds on 16TB drives already like a week? Maybe those HAMR drives will have two actuators, but I still don't think that'll speed things up much.
If you have an SMR drive ZFS resilvers can take upwards of three weeks haha
Omg don't remind me of the SMR fiasco. I once bought an SMR drive by accident and didn't understand why overwriting lots of small files happened at like 5kbps...I couldn't believe it when I found out!
