Does this mean we will see 512GB internal phone storage becoming mainstream?

If the cost per TB is the same and they’re buying tens of PBs anyway, large commercial customers want fewer, bigger drives. That means fewer slots in servers, fewer storage controllers, and possibly even fewer servers.
Onboard storage on cellphones is all about how much they can charge and how many they can sell.

Is it already mainstream… for the people that can afford it (and are willing to pay for it).
Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 1 year ago
The highest spec of a flagship model, while good to see, is not what I would call mainstream.
thecam@lemmy.world 1 year ago
True, I was referring to low end phones.

You might want to delete this before you get in trouble for leaking the secret phones you have access to that make you think the S23+ is a low-end phone. Time traveler? CP0 Agent?

Soon, Xiaomi's Redmi phones are now routinely shipping with 256GB option, so if that's the base on that line a 512GB default or cheap option won't be far off.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Samsung is at the Flash Memory Summit in California, showing off its latest wares, announcing breakthrough technologies, and discussing some incredible advances.
Samsung is often the source of the biggest news stories of these events, and it hasn’t disappointed with its announcement of both a 256TB SSDs and unveiling of its PBSSD architecture, designed for peta-byte scale solutions.
And, you guessed it, everything was being framed in the context of being reimagined for “the AI era.” Never worry, as Samsung is here to develop the latest technologies to cope with the “exponential growth of data and its many applications,” attendees were told.
The interface revamp means the new drive is capable of “achieving twice the power efficiency of its predecessor,” says Samsung.
In the quest for maximum data storage within the power and volume limits of a single-server rack, Samsung has created a 256TB SSD.
With such a great capacity in a single device, Samsung and partners like Meta are aiming to make PBSSDs multi-user friendly.

How much will it cost?

Pretty cheap for a 256TB drive
Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Farewell, son. You were always my favourite, but this is too good to pass
Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 1 year ago
$100 if you are patient enough

Crazy to think it was only about fifteen years ago the small Data-storage server reseller I worked for was selling their own in-house server racks - a whole 52U rack filled with Supermicro drive bays to store a petabyte of data was $300k and that was a steal of a deal at the time.

QLC is server grade now?
Unkend@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes SKhynix owned Solidigm has been Developing really fast QLC Data Center Drives for sometime now.

Sure, if you’re fine with the tradeoffs. This is especially true if you’re storying secondary copies on them for processing purposes.

Apple execs are already rubbing their hands
talos@lemmy.world 1 year ago
256TB? That’s huge! How about an affordable 8TB SSD though? I ended up going with a HDD as a secondary drive because it was like a quarter of the price of high capacity SSDs.
Tb0n3@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Have you checked prices lately?
talos@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, I built my new PC around 2 months ago. Maybe they are cheaper elsewhere but here in Australia they are very expensive. :(
KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well, 8TB might still not be cheap, but I bought a few of those Crucial 4TB drives for $165 when B&H had their sale. Trying them out for a Proxmox datastore.
I still use spinning rust for long term storage.
Chev@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I recently paid €80 for a 1TB Samsung 990 M.2and €160 for 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 with half the speed. I feel like the prices are great. And I can easily spot the difference in my every day use compared to my 10 year old 5400rpm hdd that costed about the same back than.
Zeron@lemmy.world 1 year ago
For real. It’s like SSD manufacturers are in cahoots with HDD manufacturers to never step on their turf(capacity.)
SSD manufacs keep chasing useless metrics like sequential write speed in consumer drives, when if they just chased capacity they could kill HDDs forever and we’d all be better off for it. Then again, i guess they’d also lose revenue since they don’t nearly die as much as HDDs, so i guess there’s that.
Or…they could keep with their current trend but actually focus on metrics that matter. Like lower que depth operations which actually make an operating system feel amazing to use like Q1T1.
