2TB SSDs?

[JesterJJZ]

Go SAS and you can have 2.5" 2TB 10,000 RPM drives

Want them for my portable drives and secondary drive in my MBP.

Technically speaking, the first 8 tb disk drive was announced in early 2007.

We are anticipating 8 TB drives soon, however.

1 TB == 8 tb
8 TB == 64 tb

And 8TB now officially available, if only in limited quantities:

And yet, still no 2TB SSDs....

Huh? 6.4 TB SSDs are on the market - http://www.fusionio.com/products/atomic-series/

Sorry, should have been more clear. Nothing for regular consumers at the 2.5" or blade form factor.

FusionIO and others like them have had larger capacity for obscene prices for a while.

And the 8TB spinner won't be at an obscene price?

I don't know. At least its at a common form factor and connection type.

Is the ADATA 2tb SSD still on track for a Q4 2014 release date. There has been no update that I can seem to find.

A Chinese company "invent" this high capacity SSD. They basically put 40 128G eMMC together in RAID 0 and call it a 5T SSD. If that's cheap, I don't mind to buy one for fun. However, my concern is what will happen if any one of those eMMC fail.

Seagates... I'll pass.

^^^^I know folks complain about Seagate's reliability. However, over the years, after both Conner and Quantum (I've been around a long time), went out of business, I chose Seagate as my drive supplier. I currently have 2 SSDs (both Samsung) and 6 HDDs. The six HDDs are made up of one WD Black (OEM in my Mac Pro) one Seagate Hybrid, and 4 Barracuda HDDs. Since I've been using Seagate, I've only has one fail on me, and it was an older drive.

This is an interesting read... and probably worth more than any personal anecdote I could offer about all drive the brands I've owned having issues...
