minus-squaredalekcaan@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·10 hours agoEven if you do need 100 TB of storage, I feel like it’d be a lot better to have multiple smaller drives rather than one massive one. To be fair, though, I’d expect such large drives to be targeted mostly to commercial customers.
