Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate

I think if I needed to store 36TB of data, I would rather get several smaller disks.

I don’t think the target audience of this drive is buying one. They are trying to optimize for density and are probably buying in bulk rather than paying the $800 price tag.

Multiple drives in a RAID.

That’s roughly what I have now, and I only have about 200gb left, so I kind of wish I could get a little more right now. This is across 7 drives. I really hope storing data becomes faster and cheaper in the future because as it keeps growing over the past few decades, it gets longer and longer to replace and move this much data…

Well, it does cost less and less every year. I bought two 8TB drives for $300 each or so, and today a 24TB drive is about that much.

But if you hate your data there’s no quicker way to lose it than a 36TB Seagate drive.

That’s why Seagate is the last word in the title.
