The next monster hunter is gonna require this in the specs
Sequential read/write is very rarely interesting, cool to see it’s possible though. Random read/write and IOPS are much more important for daily use, preferably numbers without cache. Better cell endurance is always a bonus too, though I have yet to have a SSD die on me, probably just luck at this point.
It’s late and with all the other politics in my feed, I read that as Macron at first, and spent longer than I want to admit seriously imagining him on stage demoing this to show a new French foray into tech or something
It will still be sold at a fraction of what Apple charges for their far inferior SSDs.
If I ever get my hands on one, I will once again have a write speed faster than my download speed. It’ll be like the 90’s again! :D
I just want bigger drives… I feel like we’ve been stuck at 1TB for at least a decade.
You can get spinning rust all the way up to 32 TB in a single 3.5" disk and 8 TB in an NVMe drive. The tech is out there, but it takes time for the price of stuff like that to come down when there isnt much demand for it.
There’s lots of demand for large drives, it’s mostly for enterprise drives though.
I refuse to believe there isn’t much demand for it when we have MicroSD cards approaching 2TB.
I do think the demand decreased in the past decade. The average consumer has their photos and documents in the cloud and signs up to streaming services for movies, shows, and music. Local storage is not as important as it used to be.
But on the opposite end games are only getting bigger and fast internet is still semi expensive so having large drives would be beneficial to people that want to keep multiple games installed on their PC/console.
fair point, even the MicroSD market would target the mobile user and not so much a desktop.
Mostly the photography market as far as I know, those raw images take up a lot of space.
What are you talking about?
My laptop SSD is 2tb and I got it 3 years ago.
One step above what I had back in 2012? What exactly does that say about progress in capacity?
It’s twice the amount you were complaining about, and there are bigger drives than the one I have.
Yeah, my 2013 black 1TB cost like 100€ so 12 years ago, prices are going down but not really falling off a cliff lol.
SSDs have gotten much cheaper. 10 years ago, they were over $0.50/GB, now they’re just over $0.04/GB That’s over 12 times cheaper.
You can get a 2tb ssd for $85. 10 years ago a 2tb ssd would’ve been super expensive and very boogie.
SSDs were even cheaper until memory manufacturers decided it was getting too cheap: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/ssd-prices-predicted-to-skyrocket-throughout-2024
They predicted prices would go higher and, through the magic of intentionally constricting supply, it happened. Prices still have not dropped back down to where they were in 2023.
Impressive. Very nice. Now let’s see the random read/write speed.
Let’s see Paul Allen’s io.
When do we start needing active coolers for our drives?
Enterprise NVMe drives have some active cooling, but it’s mostly due to high density
I wonder if we reach to the point we’re RAM would be unnecessary.
27GB/s is faster than DDR4 RAM.
