The world's greatest SSD has arrived: 13TB

Streak capacity organization Fixstars has chosen to smash all past blaze stockpiling records. The organization's new combine of SSD drives check in at 10TB and 13TB separately — bigger than the biggest turning plates (Seagate simply reported 8TB and 10TB hard drives).This is the first run through, as far as anyone is concerned, that we've seen a glimmer stockpiling producer beat customary turning circles as far as total stockpiling limit — however that capacity comes at a premium. In the first place, as Fixstars own benchmarks delineate, the organization's equipment supports relentless execution over most extreme speed.These drives aren't expected for customers.
Fixstars has already expressed that it improves its drives for consecutive read/compose workloads, including object capacity, gushing substance dispersion, CG/VFX creation, and video handling. The sticker price on the drive further drives (badump-ching) that point home — at $19,000 for the 13TB variant, this drive isn't coming shoddy. The aggregate expense works out to about $1.46 per GB — far higher than the present expense of a traditional drive. 

Then again, this is a 2.5-inch SSD with 13TB of information stockpiling. Some premium is not out of the ordinary, given that it's no insignificant errand to consolidate, test, and approve that much NAND per drive. The Fixstars 13000M utilizations a specific circle controller outlined by the organization and 15nm Toshiba MLC NAND memory. Consecutive speed is recorded as 580MB/s, successive compose is 540MB/s. Power utilization is 3W out of gear and up to 6.5W under burden. 

At last, while this is in fact a 2.5-inch drive, it has a 15mm stature on it. You won't be connecting it to a portable workstation at any point in the near future. Fixstars essential center is in programming improvement; the organization offered the first CUDA-advanced Linux OS route in 2010. A hefty portion of its present items concentrate on streamlining multi-center programming or advancement situations that improve programming for heterogeneous archit
