‘Chineese startup nobody has heard of.’
…am… I racist for immediately thinking scam? Like… they shoved a couple thumb drives in a fancy case level of scam?
Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered

No no its just sad reality that china is build on scam. Its a core value in their society, sadly
OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Haha OK op thinking it was a scam is not racist, calling it “a core value in their society” is a bit racist.

I would say it’s bad because the only reason low quality products exist from China is because there is a company ordering them, typically American. All of our expensive tech comes from there any you haven’t heard of most of those companies
Psythik@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Yeah but how is that not China’s fault too? Americans buy cheap products from there because China pays their employees pennies.
MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No because Chinese isn’t a race its a nationality. If you used one of the races there like Han The predominate race there. than yes it would be racist. The Han are in face often refereed to has the real Chinese. But china is made up of many races not just the one.
ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Okay bud Chinese 99.999999999% of the time refers to Han. If you ask a Chinese person they will say 中国人, Chinese. Yes Han is the proper nomenclature but no Chinese person would make this argument.

startup nobody has heard of
There, now it isn’t racist because that sounds like a scam without any additional details.
Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 1 year ago
At this point, yeah, a bit. But it is a common racism to have right now, and the first step on the path to getting rid of it is knowing you have it.
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
China has caught putting harware level vulnerabilities for decades now.
So there’s probably backdoors in any Chinese hardware by now. But also in any western hardware.
It’s just about who you want to send your data to.

Resiliency dilemma. Which type of redundancy to choose.
carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
finally, a drive big enough to hold a 4th AAA game 😌
real_squids@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
You could even squeeze a quadruple A game on there
carrion0409@lemm.ee 1 year ago
You can finally store half a call of duty game on a single drive !

“For personal users, this SSD can store 11,000 90-minute 4K movies,”
This is less useful than libraries of congress.
echodot@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Yeah. My video collection tend not to be that long. Like 10mins normally.
Jeffool@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah really. It’s been years since I saw a 90m movie.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Honestly, that size of drive doesn’t need a comparison. This isn’t for your average user, so you don’t need to dumb it down for them.
SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Almost two years of non stop video.
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 year ago
Yeah but are there any good ones?
WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I disagree. I very much want something like this at some point for media storage. One of these babies could replace all of my spinning disk drives.
egidighsea@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Make sure you make backups - it’s better to have multiple small drives in case of failure than one big, but in any case 3-2-1 backups!
AnAmericanPotato@programming.dev 1 year ago
Buy a dozen and you could fit a good chunk of LibGen.
veeesix@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Regardless of where it’s made hopefully it brings down the price of drives for the rest of us.
Kaboom@reddthat.com 1 year ago
Sounds like a typical scam
taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Sure, six vendors all decided to release scam SSDs of similar sizes.
Xanza@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I mean… It wouldn’t even be the first time, so 🤷♂️
Kaboom@reddthat.com 1 year ago
Well yeah, or one managed it, and the others are just copying the size. It’s happened time and time again, how is this any different)
vxx@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They also decided to only scam chinese people, as it’s only available there.
letsgo@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Very good but can someone please invent a 4TB drive that costs less than it did five years ago?
nuko147@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I don’t know about HDDs but for SSDs they hit a very low price last September, and the companies decided to cut production so the prices go up again. It worked, today SSD drives are more expensive than last year. I bet they did something similar to the HDD, but it’s only hypothetical.
monarch@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I feel like we may have hit a temporary halt on memory getting cheaper. I have an 8TB HDD and the prices of them have remained remarkably steady for how long I have had it.
