Comment on Western Digital details 14-platter 3.5-inch HAMR HDD designs with 140 TB and beyond
Zorque@lemmy.world 1 hour ago14TB or 140TB? The later is what’s being talked about, so that’s more like 2800 movies. Which more than covers that 1000+ movie criteria.

@Zorque I'm saying that 14TB will only fit 280 (or more likely, less) of those ultra-hq movies, so 140TB (or, in the lead up to that, 100TB, since they're talking about 5+ years or more before they even get close to 140TB) is reasonable for a 1,000-2,000 movie collection. Obviously I'm being loose with numbers, but the fact that one single movie can consume almost 80GB.. well, you can start to understand consumer demand for 100+TB drives.
