Very good but can someone please invent a 4TB drive that costs less than it did five years ago?
I don’t know about HDDs but for SSDs they hit a very low price
lastSeptember 2023, 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.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.
finally, a drive big enough to hold a 4th AAA game 😌
You can finally store half a call of duty game on a single drive !
‘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?
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.
Plus, the headline is really leading in that direction too, the article itself makes it pretty clear that it is a real, reputable product. Their wording in the headline is technically correct, they specifically call it a company “you’ve likely never encountered” rather than “noone has heard of”, the company has already been at the forefront before and announced that they would be again in 2025, this is fulfilling that promise.
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.
Actually it is mostly the US that has been caught doing that. Not saying others don’t do it but the US is the one who is bad enough at it to get caught regularly.
What about all of those routers?
Are you a bot? You act a lot like one…
You mean because my responses actually fit the comments I respond to unlike your low effort FUD that is phrased in such a general way that it could easily be spammed all over without attracting too much attention?
startup nobody has heard of
There, now that sentence isn’t racist because that sounds like a scam without any additional details.
But it is a startup you’ve probably never encountered, which is saying more about them not being known outside of their home country which is a bit different.
No no its just sad reality that china is build on scam. Its a core value in their society, sadly
Haha OK op thinking it was a scam is not racist, calling it “a core value in their society” is a bit racist.
No. It really is. Since the cultural Revolution, china has lost its manners. Gutter Oil, tofu drag, taking a whole “all you can eat” for yourself and ruining it with paper and spices for others, demanding money from a newly wed couple (originally it is that you give a few a red envelope with money. People close to you) eventhough you dont have anything to do with them, fake meat, glue instead of milk, fake tofu (its stirofome if you are lucky) and i can count more. Shooting birds with a slingshot, when in japan, carving spiritual shrines and cutting down/damaging/shaking off the cherry blossom trees
Its so so sad.
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 fact often refereed to has the real Chinese. But china is made up of many races not just the one.
“For personal users, this SSD can store 11,000 90-minute 4K movies,”
This is less useful than libraries of congress.
Yeah. My video collection tend not to be that long. Like 10mins normally.
Yeah really. It’s been years since I saw a 90m movie.
Buy a dozen and you could fit a good chunk of LibGen.
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.
Almost two years of non stop video.
Regardless of where it’s made hopefully it brings down the price of drives for the rest of us.
