But will it improve the reliability? Think about RAID rebuild times. It would take over a week, maybe even 2.

Hilbert Hagedoorn ;-) but you can't touch this 😀 ... yet :banana:

Haha, I think you've got to be a certain age to get that reference! I have a guilty secret that this was probably my second CD I ever bought, and probably an even guiltier secret with Vanilla Ice being the 1st - and yes I did the dance routines, but didn't go as far as the baggy trousers! Ah, good times - style! ;-)

Imagine a 16TB SSD for only $75K...

Pretty nice but I still believe the next step will be replacing hdds with ssds completely. Although that will take a lot of time. 15tb on a single hdd is insane though.

I remember the days when a 20Mb HD was £4000. Remember the ads in Amiga Shopper magazine!

I remember hearing that an 80mb drive being over $1000 bucks in the 1980s which would have been used for some kind of server.

TDK recently talked about the latest tech in HDDs that support heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology. HDDs based on this technology may hit the market in late 2015 or early 2016 and will ... HDD capacity to hit 15TB by 2016 - with HAMR technology

Heard about years back nice to see it finally coming maybe? would be nice if it has less bottleneck then the current HDD speed wise to

What about them 5mb drives http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/27/visualized-ibms-1956-hdd-packs-5mb-of-storage-requires-forkli/ that where just bad and heavy too

I read all about these a while back.. seems like a pretty cool new technology that could push density up very high on a single drive. Cool cool 🙂

I would be more interested in a 60,000rpm ssd-like hdd with a decent 2-3TB

assuming liner density of HAMR increases, you will see somewhere close to 400MB/s sustained read/write

It's too bad that this feat won't help much with load times since it will still have the hdd-specific access time latency.

true, hybrid, or just stick with jbod ssd & hdd

Yeah pretty much. Although I like the potential. Take me for example, I have a gigabit internet connection but my old hard-drive absolutely can't write at that speed. Highest I've seen is ~80 MB/s and then small files started getting downloaded and it basically grinded to a halt. I wouldn't mind a 400 MB/s hdd because it's not that feasible to get an SSD just for downloads. As long as the pricing is okay of course.
