"Ten exabytes wedged into a rather large box by Cleversafe, But with 4,500,000 drives, it's gonna cost ya" "Creating a 10EB storage system today would require approximately 4.5 million 3TB hard drives. Today's 3TB hard drives can cost as little as $150, but a storage system the size of Cleversafe's would still cost $705 million for the spinning disks alone. The entire system - with racks, networking equipment and Cleversafe software - would run in the single-digit billions of dollars." Holographic storage can't come quickly enough. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
