Seagate Introduces 10GB/s PCIe SSD And 60TB SAS SSD

Seagate has brought out another SSD tech demo with eye-catching specifications. The unnamed SAS SSD packs 60TB of 3D TLC into a 3.5″ drive.

A sixty terabyte drive is a *lot* of data. I think we’re finally getting to the era where data storage capacity will comfortably exceed data storage needs for most applications. 4K ultra-high def movies are something like 100 gigabytes… this means the 60 TB drive could store about 600 movies, maybe 1200 hours in UHD.  Maybe something like 5 times as many Blu-Ray quality movies/hours.
