Nimbus Data first to release 100 TB SSDs, but prices are way too high

[Redaktion]

Samsung promised to deliver 128 TB SSDs by 2018, but it looks like the demand for such large drives is not there yet. Nevertheless, Nimbus Data thinks that we are ready for 100 TB SSDs, unleashing this model upon us for US$40,000. There is also a 50 TB model in case your budget is only limited to US$12,500.

Many enterprise customers are skeptical of such high capacities simply because even a single failure would involve a huge amount of data. Too many eggs in one basket. And this drive is not particularly fast. How long would it take to copy 100 TB of data onto it? Three days?

Yep, sequential read/write at 500 MB/s would be 2 and a half days for the 100 TB version, so anything that isn't sequential or has small file size... expect much longer times.
