  • The press release is missing the key specification — how many Libraries of Congress fit on this thing?

  • The u.2 form factor is slightly larger than a 2.5" drive. I can imagine the entire space in it taken by Flash chips. I can't imagine what cooling scheme do they employ for the chips in the middle.

    Rather silly of them to hide investor relations material behind an anonymity-hostile CDN.

  • I look forward to have my favourite hyperscaler grant me 1000 "premium" IOPS per VM on this monster.

  • I checked the specs here: https://www.micron.com/content/dam/micron/global/public/prod...

    The interface looks equiv to 4x PCIe 5.0.

        > Sequential read (MB/s): 13,700
    > Sequential write (MB/s): 2,700
    That is pretty awful write performance. Does anyone know more about this? I assume all of these hyperdense SSDs suffer from the same drawback. Also, I heard that the E3.L interface can support up to 16x lanes, but there are no practical commerical products at this point.

  • Meanwhile I'm still dreaming about any consumer and affordable 32TB or even 16TB portable SSD. Innovation and market for consumers are going backwards.

    Funny thing is that one of the best you can get is the Crucial (Micron) 8TB one but even that one gets more expensive. I have the feeling it will be gone completely soon.

  • We bought a 2TB Sandisk SSD back in 2024 for around $95 from best buy. Today 1TB ssd by sandisk is $166(the cheapest that i found, and it goes for $199 in walmart). Market is forcing people to become renters than buyers and there is no force countering that idea. Its a market failure that people will study 10-15 years from now.

    EDIT- The same 2TB ssd is now $329.99 at bestbuy.
