But will it improve the reliability? Think about RAID rebuild times. It would take over a week, maybe even 2.

Haha, I think you've got to be a certain age to get that reference! I have a guilty secret that this was probably my second CD I ever bought, and probably an even guiltier secret with Vanilla Ice being the 1st - and yes I did the dance routines, but didn't go as far as the baggy trousers! Ah, good times - style! ;-)

Pretty nice but I still believe the next step will be replacing hdds with ssds completely. Although that will take a lot of time. 15tb on a single hdd is insane though.

I remember the days when a 20Mb HD was £4000. Remember the ads in Amiga Shopper magazine!

I remember hearing that an 80mb drive being over $1000 bucks in the 1980s which would have been used for some kind of server.

TDK recently talked about the latest tech in HDDs that support heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology. HDDs based on this technology may hit the market in late 2015 or early 2016 and will ... HDD capacity to hit 15TB by 2016 - with HAMR technology
