They just keep on getting bigger!

It's a bit worrying considering in googles recent report most SSD failures are a result of age and not usage. Can you imagine losing 15 terabytes worth of data? You would definantley have to raid these which may not be viable considering price.

The unprecedented 15.36TB of data storage on a single SSD is enabled by combining 512 of Samsung's 256Gb V-NAND memory chips. The 256Gb dies are stacked in 16 layers to form a single 512GB package, with a total of 32 NAND flash packages in the 15.36TB drive
Maybe it's too early in the morning, but something there doesn't add up... 512 x 256gb chips = 15.36tb ? 256gb dies x 16 = 512gb ? :3eyes:

Yeah, it's confusing, but I bet they meant gigabit 🙂

The first part doesn't work out to 15.36TB but could be because they have spare space for the dying flash in the future??? (maybe someone has the real answer to this) but the second equation works out perfectly. 256gb (gigabit) X 16 = 512GB (gigabyte)

Was google's report on enterprise level SSD's? At this point you are pretty much crazy to use anything above a 1TB ssd in non-RAID on a desktop computer. These are enterprise level and would be put in some type of RAID or equivalent setup.

From what I understand you do not lose it, you just lose ability to write onto it. So you will always be able to recover your data, unless what I read was incorrect?

Brand/model specific. In some cases, when a certain failure rate has been reached, the SSD can kick into a "read only" mode. In other cases it just keeps going until it reaches a flat-out failure.

I just received my 850 EVO today and it's amazeballs... thanks to your review of course Hilbert.. my first SSD ^__^ The thought of 15 Terabytes of storage like this... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Zs8AMCDPrtw/VtfuHSoHWQI/AAAAAAAAAMw/y-DfZ_X0d0k/w200-h229-p/splooge.gif
Except it's not. The two products are geared towards different usages. An enterprise SSD is designed to respond to lots of concurrent requests of data so it emphasizes reading speeds over writing ones. This is why this one has Random Read IOPS up to twice your drive but Random Write IOPS less than half. But I wouldn't worry about you making a rash decision and taking the plunge. Seeing how the PM863 with only 3.84TB of storage has an MSRP of $2,200, this one might comes at the cost of a small car :banana:
