Yes, you read that correctly, 13,000 GBs of sweet high-speed solid state storage on one drive from the company Fixstars. This drive will be sold directly by Fixstars and won’t be available through third-party retailers.
Now a spokesperson for the company, Shien Zhu, says that the current pricing estimate puts this drive at $1 per gigabyte, so the drive should cost somewhere in the neighbourhood of $13,000 though that figure hasn’t been officially decided on just yet.
The drive comes packaged in a 2.5-inch enclosure and runs at read speeds of 580MB/s and read speeds of 520MB/s. The drive uses NAND flash made by Toshiba and uses a proprietary controller that is designed for improved speeds overall. The drive is targeting mostly at companies working with large video files or streaming, rather than the average consumer.
