Got a cool $40k lying around? You’re in luck!
I’ll go ahead and say it now:
Who will ever need more than 100TB of storage?
And since the lifespan increases with capacity (write endurance, typical to what I have seen) this thing should last ages being used mainly like an archive of write-once data!
You haven’t heard about the upcoming China terrain?-)
I remember saying the same thing about a 1GB hard drive in 1997.
So now we have a good candidate drive for MSFS2020…
I can see a Formula 1 car carrying one of those. And a live big game sports camera.
Well, if we take Moore’s law (computational capacity doubles every 2 years) and say we use ~1 TB today, after 7 cycles (14 years) we’ll be at:
2^7 = 128TB
So that will be normal by roughly 2034!
I’m going to start making my World Ortho ZL19 tiles starting today…in about 4 years when my computer is done maybe I’ll have reached that…
Is it at least NVME? Sata III would feel like IDE with that volume.
