Oh, they DO discriminate - just against the disenfranchised masses - left or right are not relevant unless they need one group of them to sow chaos, frustration, and discontent.

A good point of clarification.

IMO, every time there is a huge move up, some long time hodlers take profits – they’ve gained their FU money and are buying land, houses and lambo’s … their move out creates the dip and this is an opportunity.

A link to that article should be the standard response whenever we get a “when will it be ready” post on here.

@happybeing The news I heard 18 months ago has now been shown correct - huge SSDs of 40+TB mid to late '20. These 100TB drives have been talked about for a month or few and finally someone got a hold of one.
18 months the semi confidential news I got was that 40TB and higher SSDs were being worked on and if you go back you can see me mention it. Been waiting for the SSD manufacturers to announce these big drives.
So I can get 20TB NAS drives from seagate or 100TB SSDs, hmmmmm me thinks price will determine the choice for many data centres, and home users. I am also assuming that the 20, 40, 60 TB SSD drives will also be being marketed now. One 100TB to back up a 4 drive NAS with 40TB drives.

I just read an article saying they were announced 2 years ago , the 100TB, but price was only released 6 month ago.
12.5k for 50TB, 40k for 100TB.

Well 18 months ago they did not exist, nor 20TB nor 10TB SSD, so that news seems in error. 2 years ago the largest SSD was a lot smaller than the largest spinning drive which was 10TB/12TB.
The news back then was that the SSD manufacturers were ramping up their design (money and resources) to take SSDs from a side market of the NAND chips and make it main stream. Back 18 months ago they set their sights on 40TB and higher by mid '20

Shoddy reporting maybe, looks like i misread also, article was first published 6 mnth ago, i had thought that was the date of the last update.

100TB SAS SSD. Sounds like a dream come true. The datasheet lists unlimited write endurance for 5 years, which is very interesting. Looks like these use QLC flash, probably from Micron. The manufacturing yields on these flash chips are probably pretty dismal at this point, which is why the price is so high. In 5 years 100TB drives will likely be sub $1k depending on profit being taken and number of competing products (though I won’t be betting any stocks today 
). I say all this because QLC flash will not have the write endurance of lower density cell architectures. How many drives with constant write data will have irrecoverable errors in 5 years? Probably more than a few, but replacement will be cheap by then. Smart marketing move. Would be interesting to find an engineer that knows the real endurance.

Adam Curtis, Adam Curtis new AdamCurtis.
There’s a lot of video out there but Adam Curtis makes historical eye opening documentary films that are intellectually deep and incredibly entertaining. And he made a new series: “An Emotional History of the Modern World”. Nice trailer too:
