    Samsung has the world's largest SSD, again, at 30TB
    https://www.engadget.com/2018/02/20/samsung-has-the-worlds-largest-ssd-again-at-30tb/
    Nearly two years ago Samsung released a 15.36TB drive that it said had the most capacity of
    any SSD. Now, it has topped that with a new effort that it claims features twice the capacity and performance. Inside its 2.5-inch frame, the PM1643 has 30.72 TB ready for whatever enterprise storage needs you have, with sequential read/write speeds of 2,100MB/s and 1,700 MB/s.

    That's all created with 512GB 3D vertical NAND chips, half the size of the newest 1TB ones announced late last year. Now that it's able to mass produce them at this size, we'll naturally see Samsung trickle these down into drives with smaller capacity (15.36TB, 7.68TB, 3.84TB, 1.92TB, 960GB and 800GB). After that, we'd expect it will eventually increase the memory size available in PCs that fit on your desk, or the chips that go in devices like your phone.

    I think Phoenix will buy this to unify his family's Storage with this single drive.

    Yes, it seems that he was interested once I create the thread, actually, he always interested with all new technologies, if there is any good of it, I'm sure he will be the first one to buy and give us his review. Hope that we can see another version to consumer market soon.

    Maybe my grandkids will be using those in the future. I don't even use that much Storage at all. On my HDD/SSD I used only 30GB and on external disk total usage is just 300GB on 2TB drive and 40GB on another external desktop disk.
    Phoenix will be happy if its priced economically otherwise he'll opt for 980 series NVMe SSDs with Raid.

    For me, 1TB is more than enough. I still have 200GB left of 237GB on my SSD. For rest of the data I use 2.5" HDD to store 400GB files. 90% are games and screen captures at FHD @60 fps.

    You won’t be able to afford Samsung’s record-setting 30TB SSD
    http://bgr.com/2018/02/20/samsung-30tb-ssd-release-date-specs-price/
    You probably don’t need 30.72TB of fast SSD data at home, but plenty of companies around the world will be excited to hear that Samsung is now ready to manufacture the industry’s largest capacity SSD ever, which also happens to be insanely fast.

    Announced on Tuesday, the drive targets enterprise systems, and it’s built on Samsung’s 512Gb V-NAND tech. The company says it offers the “industry-first 1TB NAND flash package, 40GB of DRAM, new controller,” and new software, which will allow it to store some 5,700 5GB movies and only fail every two million hours.

    The PM1643 is a dull, unassuming name for this SAS SSD, but it’s one to remember. The device doubles the capacity of the previous 15.36TB high-capacity SSD that Samsung introduced nearly two years ago.Image Source: Samsung

    “This breakthrough was made possible by combining 32 of the new 1TB NAND flash packages, each comprised of 16 stacked layers of 512Gb V-NAND chips,” Samsung explains. “These super-dense 1TB packages allow for approximately 5,700 5-gigabyte (GB), full HD movie files to be stored within a mere 2.5-inch storage device.”

    The PM1643 features new tech innovations, including a “highly efficient controller architecture,” that makes room for more storage space by combining nine controllers, and Through Silicon Via (TSV) technology that interconnects 8GB DDR4 chips to create 10 4GB TSV DRAM packages. Samsung says this is the first time TSC-applied DRAM was used in an SSD.

    Software features, meanwhile, include metadata protection, data retention, and recovery from sudden power failures. The drive can deliver one full drive write per day over a period of five years without failure. The mean time between failures is of two million hours, Samsung says.

    The drive offers sequential read and write speeds of up to 2,100MB/s and 1,700MB/s, respectively, which is three times faster than a typical 2.5-inch SSD. Random read and write speeds are at 400,000 IOPS and 50,000 IOPS, or four times the performance of a regular SSD drive.

    The price for the 30.72TB SSD was not announced,
    but the 15.36TB cost more than $10,000 two years ago . Samsung plans to launch other capacities using the same technology, including 15.36TB, 7.68TB, 3.84TB, 1.92TB, 960GB and 800GB versions.

    For that price, Phoenix will buy iMac Crow with 4TB PCIe SSD and Xeon chip.
    Well I would buy 2 Clevo's and a TR desktop and some accessories too.

    Utter trash!!
    Design before functionality. You can connect a bigger screen on your proper laptop/ notebook, but not connected better hardware for this *****. Only Design as feature can’t make you happy, bruh :)

    So iMac Crow shouldn't have made at all. When Clevo's find it hard to cool 5GHz Chip and how come they managed to put a Xeon 18 core Chip with flimsy cooling that 95C on OS X and on Windows 110C so you use it to boil water, make coffee/tea on $14k Workstation.

    You know, acer really has brains to manufature ony some of those turd 21x. Unlike asus, man if you still go to ebay.com and search for that gx700 laptop, asus has still thier banner for a "brand-new" gx 700 , at a cost more then the p870tm1 maxed out.

    EDIT: I'll never buy the Acer 21x. I was just kidding, Clevo LGA is my best choice then MSI GTxxx if necessary.

    After all what you are doing to fight the BGA, I'll be very surprised if I know that anyone around you and your neighbors are using BGA ;)
