Large scale backup storage? I can build a server with 40 * 8TB 3.5" HGST spinning 7200 rpm drives, divided up into several Linux mdadm RAID6 arrays with hotspares, for considerably less money than the same capacity built out of 1TB 2.5" SSDs.
There is now a Samsung 15TB SSD that costs ten thousand dollars... http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/8/1/12342696/samsung-pm1633a-ssd-15tb-storage-drive-specs-price On Wed, Aug 3, 2016 at 11:03 AM, Chuck McCown <[email protected]> wrote: > Is there a good reason to continue to use rotating media going forward? >
