None. I'd just get several 4TB drives.

Think the fours will drop in price once the eights drop?

I sure hope so. I want to buy at least 8 of them and put them on a RAIDz2. Hopefully that array will last me the needed years until SSDs finally catch up in price. Also, check this shit out http://www.anandtech.com/show/10114/samsung-begins-to-ship-1536-tb-ssd-for-enterprise-storage-systems

Search for it. It's ZFS.

So what happens to your data when the helium leaks out through manufacturing defects over the course of years?
>>53319258
None.. Why would I?

why does it say helium?
why would you put helium inside a hard disk?

Inhale it and make funny voices.
>>53319367
that's a single drive. here's the weight for a single drive, most shipping companies just round to the nearest pound. poor niggers we're coming out of the wood work yesterday thinking they were going to come up on #2300 of goods for only $100 lmfao

Because the lower density allows more platters because reasons. Go google the launch articles if you want a proper explanation.

tape drives don't store data, the tapes do
the tape is media, not a drive
>>53321686
Allows for faster platters spinning closer together, but also doesn't impact cooling too much, as Helium allows heat transfer much better than air.
>>53319258
I'll probably buy 4 of them once my current 4x 3TB NAS storage space runs dry.
Got 3.42TB free on there right now, so it's probably going to take a few years.

A tape drive holds tape cartridges like a CD drive holds discs and a HDD holds disks.
Just because discs and cartridges are removable doesn't make them any less a drive.
Floppy drive, Hard drive, still a drive.

a tape drive is a drive, but a tape drive doesn't hold data, the tapes do, and the tapes themselves aren't drives

I bought the Seagate Shingle drive last year.
Still going strong.
