  Going by the usual trends of $20+/tb, I’d say. fuckin expensive

    For now anyway, it used to be $20+/gb. I’ll settle for flooding the market with refurbished 16+tb drives.

  I would not put 130TB on any one piece of hardware, because when it fails, it will be a very sad day.

    This hardware is for those who are storing EB of data.

    That’s why this is perfect for a distributed array or as a data mass grave.
    You don’t really store anything in there that is needed often.

    Guess why (deep-)archive S3 is so much cheaper than hot S3 storage.
    That’s a reason why.
