> Intel will put a 916,000-pound "super load" on the road in Ohio on Wednesday, for a trip that will cover approximately 150 miles in nine days and snarl traffic for over a week...
> Four of these loads, including the one hitting the road now, weigh around 900,000 pounds — that's 400 metric tons, or 76 elephants.

EDIT: Further information in the ODOT advisory detailing the schedule of this one shipment confirms 916k pounds is not split among multiple loads:
> This is the twelfth of nearly two dozen "super loads"... This load... measures approximately 23’ tall, 20’ wide, 280’ long, and weighs 916,000 pounds.
If that were the case the story would just be "18 lorries are going to do a boring trip", and there wouldn't need to be any special plans made for road use at all.
Well you can ask them why they thought it was such an interesting story to post. But yes the article discussing the schedule in detail says it is split up across 18 loads
One of the individual loads was at this scale. There are multiple 'super loads'. The article doesn't say that a single 'super load' was split up into 18 parts.
the server to support the hard drives is quite a large part of the total cost, so replacing drives is probably an economical solution to increasing storage
Was going to say the same... A relatively modest server in the past 5 years can handle a few dozen SATA drives without issue. Going from 8tb drives to 16tb doubles capacity. IIRC they tend to cycle out drives around the 5 year mark.
I'm wondering if they've experimented with higher endurance lifecycles risking larger % of failures relying on redundancy and replication to migrate data, or encountered increased OpEx costs.
Perhaps. But I have a feeling it’s too late once they’ve started building something in-house. Any ideas on how I could find the ones that will publish an article like this one year from now? That’s the ones I’m after, I think.
What people always get wrong about inflation statistics is that they’re really only meaningful when talking about the whole country. If you think CPI is wrong, well, it’s wrong for you. It’s wrong for every individual. But it’s right when you average everyone out.
For example, let’s say you have a fixed rate mortgage on the home you own and live in. If house prices skyrocket because supply is restricted, that inflation doesn’t affect you. Or let’s say you spend $200 per month on food out of a total budget of $4000. If food prices go up uniformly 20%, but nothing else changes for all the other stuff you buy (ie, you’re paying $40 more per month than you were before), you’re effective inflation rate is 1%.
