    Hope you have a database for file management at that point.

    …And it’s bound to be stupidly expensive.

    Wish I could afford 20 of them, but not without winning the Powerball.

      i don’t mind that, if it means that lower capacity drives will get cheaper

      20 of them? Just curious, how would you use 800 or 1600 TB of storage?

    I have a 20TB seagate exos drive in my main pc and I hate it. Partly due to my case, but it’s noisy and does an obnoxious head reset (or whatever) every 7 minutes or so. It’s so loud.

      These drives aren’t for home desktops, they’re more for server setups with large datasets and redundancy. Lol why do you need a 20tb drive in your main PC?

      I have 4 x 20tb drives in a true as where I have backups, movies, music, network accessible for the whole house.

      Yeah Exos are enterprise drives, so there’s no point in making them quiet like they do with lower speed desktop stuff.

      Is it a mechanical drive?
