nsane.forums Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Ever find yourself deleting some files to make room for your overgrown media collection? Thanks to a new hack from a Russian PC enthusiast you should have plenty of room for your MP3 collection, along with the collections of everybody else you know. The hack consists of an array of 60 hard drives and the whole thing holds a whopping 70 terabytes of data. That translates to 70,000 DVD-quality movies or, if you’re more musically inclined, somewhere in the neighborhood of 24 million songs. Of course, that kind of storage space doesn’t come easy. Besides the 60 drives themselves the rig requires 40 cooling fans to keep the temperature under control. The final package may not win any awards for case design but the whole thing has a certain kind of stark utilitarian beauty to it. Presumably the unnamed maker is keeping the case open so he can switch the set up out with even heftier drives as they come along to keep the project from looking like an absurd relic a decade or so from now thanks to the storage equivalent to Moore’s Law.

Administrator DKT27 Posted October 23, 2010 Administrator Share Posted October 23, 2010 @heath & Biz: Don't tell me you guys don't think that it's a out of ordinary storage system. Has some negatives, but something... different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I wouldn't want it... I believe in minimalism.. and efficiency.. ( except when it comes to raw power..which end point means performance.. and multi-tasking ) ..on some notes and points I can see it.. but on final decision point..it wouldn't be the direction I decided to go in.....AND the noise I couldn't take..

But I like the effort and weird mind to make it. Think how many TPBs or porn you can host/keep on it. :dribble: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarre™ Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 @DKT27:It's creative, but I don't approve of it. It's not practical for home use.Anyway, it's not my place to say what a person wants; it's their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I think as technology comes along there would be some options to this... The only thing I am seeing that is wrong here.. is at minimum to match the storage and demands of storage server capacity.. there should at minimum.. a dual processor server board with support for RAM expansion well beyond 16 GB..I think at the current state it could make a great archive or storage bay..Stuff like this always is good.. LOL... http://www.million-dollar-pc.com/.. and I like the ThermalTake Level 10 in black.. very nice.. sexy.. and I want one.. http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1416&ID=1897 ...

Atasas Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Yeah, there is quite a bit of know how, not necessarily it is ideal for anything, but it is achievement in hardware compliance standards none the less :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CODYQX4 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Eh, the future is not a crapload of disks, but disks that take a lot to fill. I can't fill my 1TB drive, but one of these days there will be a single 100TB drive, and at the rate storage can go up, it's only a matter of time.It's kinda like a long time ago a 100MB HD weighed tons and cost 100K.
