Recently, I have been upgrading my computer by installing a memory module and a graphics card. I looked at the SN570 of Western Digital 1TB that I bought before. I paid over 700 yuan at the time, but now it only costs over 300 yuan. The price has dropped too quickly, so I can’t blame myself for buying it too early. It must be because of the rapid development of technology!
With the rapid development of technology, how much capacity can the largest SSD currently have?
When searching on Amazon, starting from 4T, the results are relatively few. Then when searching for 8T, a 1T link is given. Click on it to see that it is the 8T SN850X RGB of Western Digital. If you search higher on the internet, you cannot find it. Therefore, in the normal consumer level usage category, 8T almost reaches its peak.
So, I still want to know what to do if there is something abnormal? Continue reading below:
An AI told me that in 2018, Samsung released a 30TB SSD, setting a new record for the world’s largest solid-state drive capacity at that time. However, this record was soon broken by the 100TB SSD released by Nimbus Data.
Another AI told me that in the general consumer market, the maximum capacity of 2.5-inch SATA interface solid state drives has reached 15.3TB. In the enterprise market or special application fields, there are QLC SSD solid state drives that adopt the U.2/E1.L form, with a maximum capacity of 61.44TB.
So in AI’s cognition (data used for training), the maximum capacity of SSD is 100TB. What if my thirst for knowledge is not satisfied?
Directly search for “maximum capacity of solid-state drive” on Google, quickly filter out the keyword “maximum capacity of 200TB”, and then let AI tell me the information of 200TB solid-state drive.
- Nimbus Data’s ExaDrive series announced the launch of a 200TB capacity SSD, which was one of the largest solid-state drives in the market at the time. This type of product is mainly used in data centers and other places that require a large amount of storage space.
- In terms of price, such a large capacity enterprise grade solid-state drive is very expensive. For example, the price of the 100TB version is approximately $40000, so it is speculated that the price of the 200TB version may exceed $80000.
- These high-capacity solid-state drives typically have better performance and energy efficiency to meet the needs of data centers. However, due to high costs and technical requirements, they are not suitable for general individual users to use.
Okay, okay, AI is hiding from me now, right? It knows even bigger solid-state drives, and I won’t ask, it really won’t say anything~
So for us ordinary people, just playing games and daily office use, 1TB SSD is enough. If you have productivity needs and like to put the output content directly on your computer, then 8TB is also enough, after all, it is more suitable for ordinary people to use Western Digital.
Title: The Current Largest Solid-State Drive Capacity is 200TB, and the 8TB Western Digital SN850X RGB SSD is Still Far Behind.
