Very good but can someone please invent a 4TB drive that costs less than it did five years ago?
I don’t know about HDDs but for SSDs they hit a very low price
lastSeptember 2023, and the companies decided to cut production so the prices go up again. It worked, today SSD drives are more expensive than last year. I bet they did something similar to the HDD, but it’s only hypothetical.I feel like we may have hit a temporary halt on memory getting cheaper. I have an 8TB HDD and the prices of them have remained remarkably steady for how long I have had it.
“For personal users, this SSD can store 11,000 90-minute 4K movies,”
This is less useful than libraries of congress.
Buy a dozen and you could fit a good chunk of LibGen.
Yeah really. It’s been years since I saw a 90m movie.
Almost two years of non stop video.
Yeah but are there any good ones?
‘Chineese startup nobody has heard of.’
…am… I racist for immediately thinking scam? Like… they shoved a couple thumb drives in a fancy case level of scam?
At this point, yeah, a bit. But it is a common racism to have right now, and the first step on the path to getting rid of it is knowing you have it.
Plus, the headline is really leading in that direction too, the article itself makes it pretty clear that it is a real, reputable product. Their wording in the headline is technically correct, they specifically call it a company “you’ve likely never encountered” rather than “noone has heard of”, the company has already been at the forefront before and announced that they would be again in 2025, this is fulfilling that promise.
China has caught putting harware level vulnerabilities for decades now.
So there’s probably backdoors in any Chinese hardware by now. But also in any western hardware.
It’s just about who you want to send your data to.
startup nobody has heard of
There, now that sentence isn’t racist because that sounds like a scam without any additional details.
But it is a startup you’ve probably never encountered, which is saying more about them not being known outside of their home country which is a bit different.
No because Chinese isn’t a race its a nationality. If you used one of the races there like Han The predominate race there. than yes it would be racist. The Han are in fact often refereed to has the real Chinese. But china is made up of many races not just the one.
