I’ve been looking to buy a couple 24TB drives. Hopefully, this pushes their price down.

I prefer 1980s porn jpgs around 90kB each thankyouverymuch.

It’s crazy sizes though uf you think about it, I have like 2 or 4 TB drives and they are far from full.

When will it be commercially available though? Supposedly Seagate has had 30TB drives out for the better part of a year, but I can’t find anything larger than 24TB actually available for purchase.

I’ve been waiting for a 32TB to become available as well, Seagate announced that drive last year and it’s still not available outside data centers. I suspect the WD one will be the same.

I’d guess that they’re commercially available but only for hyperscalers - large companies like Google, Amazon (AWS), etc that need a huge amount of storage.
