And it will cost over $1000.

When Samsung make their EVO 850 2TB SSD's £250 then i'll be impressed. But a 16TB SSD with pie in the sky prices, no thanks.

Add another 0 to the end of that and you might be close.

Samsung 3.84 TB version costs $2200 so 16 TB should cost $9000 or maybe $9999.
1.92 TB costs $1100
Samsung consumers deserves to be fooled.
Samsung has the worst ratio on price/performance on ALL products, starting with TVs and ending with medicine equipment.
Open your eyes.

That's quite capacity. Not interested in anything over 1TB as those sizes are meant for storage of big files and I do not need to read movie in 15 seconds.
For games 2x 1TB would be superb. So i hope improvements in density can bring prices down. But my last 240GB Vertex 480a did cost 1/2 of original price of 128GB kingston which was my 1st SSD. So it already came 4 times cheaper per GB.
But HDD are still like 10~12 times cheaper than SSD, so I see a lot of space for improvement.

Sorry I missed a 0.

Whoa! This would be perfect for some 4k video rendering/storage.

Samsung is one of the leaders is SSD development. That is why they cost more, you're paying to have the product first and to fund their R&D. Wait a little while (usually only a 3-6 months) and a competitor will have a similar product that is cheaper.

Yep. In the near future this would seem like a much more interesting endeavor, run every PC from an SSD and use mechanical for cold storage.
But then again the technology they use for a 16TB could be downsized as well, with exactly that in mind: making 2TB SSD's cheaper.

Over here there aren't really other brands/models that would clearly beat Samsung in price/performance. Some second-rate brands are cheaper, such as Kingston, but that's not a viable choice. Those worth considering are around the same price.

Ultra HD Blu-ray Arrives by holidays....
If so then we gonna need huge capacity HD's no?
If BR is 44gb disk then wth will UHD hold? 160+gbs per disk ?
Only 7 full sized UHD per terabyte lol.
Were gonna need 100's of terabyte drives real soon.
Tree Dude
I rip all my BRs and compress them with handbrake down to around 2-3GB on average using H.264. Occasionally a big action movie will come out around 8GB because I use CQ. When 4k becomes the norm, H.265 will be much more common and I will likely be able to get those movies down to 4-5GB (guessing of course) without loosing any noticeable quality. I won't need a drive in the 100s of TB just yet.

I found this read interesting because the Disk association says we are allowed to make copies of UHD disks, yet it's a grey area in the UK Law atm that states it's illegal to make copies of copyrighted material.
"Just as UltraViolet has done for standard Blu-ray, Ultra HD Blu-ray discs will support digital copies, allowing users to access content “across the range of in-home mobile devices,” according to the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA). New information disclosed in an interview by BDA executive, Victor Matsuda, reveals how this will work: “There are two digital bridge features, copy and export,” Matsuda. “Copy permits a bit for bit copy to be stored on an authorized attached media drive. Export allows files to be transferred to an authorized mobile device."
"Update 8/6/2015 by Caleb Denison: The Blu-ray disc association confirmed it is prepared to issue licensing to manufacturers, and disclosed information regarding a new system that allows digital copies for home and mobile use."
By reading into that a little, i think we are about to see a new system for legal copies of one's owned media. I think you'll be allowed to authorize a UHD media so you can watch it on multiple machines.

Well if one has to ask the price.... 🙂

I too believe that this thing will be tremendously expensive.
I also believe that 2 or max 4 TB is enough for a enthusiast's gaming rig.

Good to see. Yes it will be expensive but this means that affordable 16tb SSD's are just around the corner.

Still reluctant to trust Samsung again after the 840 EVO hardware flaw fiasco...

I run Samsung EVO drives in everything and have never had an issue. Couple 840 EVOs and 850 EVOs.

It effected every device, but the symptoms would only show under certain use cases.

840 Evo problems affected me, won't buy another Samsung ssd again. Their fix if you can call it that moves all the data to different areas eating writes.
