Samsung 256TB E3.L NVMe SSD at FMS 2023 (servethehome.com)

For reference, assuming they could fit the E3.L to E1.L of EDSFF ( they differ in terms of width and length ), you could now fit 8 Petabyte in 1U, or 336 PB in a 42U Rack, ~1 Exabyte into 3 Racks.

We should be able to fit 1 Exabyte into one rack by the end of this decade on a ~700+ layer NAND.

The question remains, how do we drive down the cost per NAND module. The current market NAND is due to oversupply and is not long term sustainable.

What are the current market prices for NAND modules in terms of $/TB? And how much do we need to bring it down to catch mechanical drivers (factoring in the durability of these vs mechanicals).


It's a bit wild to think that 1 PB of storage can now fit in a normal desktop tower.

How much time fsck needs on such a drive ?


What's the highest capacity commercially available?


For standard double height PCIe slots I would imagine this.
