That’s a lot of porn in a single SSD.

Too bad I'd have to sell a kidney to buy one :(

...anyone wanna buy a kidney?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

I don’t think a single kidney is enough. I checked and apparently iran allows legally selling a kidney, and activists in the US want the US to provide $50k in exchange for one healthy kidney. Given the big cost associated with data center drives, and that these are on the very edge of what’s possible right now, with the best drive controller and the most flash, they might even cost more than $50k. Sadly phison doesn’t offer a retail price on their website, only a price quote when you call or email, presumably also only when negotiating shipments in the hundreds or thousands. I don’t dare to ask them myself though, i’ll leave that up to you.

In few years, you may find more useful your kidney rather an HD that can hold just 3~4 copies of the latest CoD

I thought CoD was like 60-80gb??

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

102GB for black ops 6, though duckduckgoing reveals to me that apparently you can just not download the story mode if you only want to play multiplayer, and that saves around 30GB.

But the joke is (and it does seem to be a joke) that AAA games only ever get bigger year over year, and with 128TB drives actually in people’s hands (not in consumer’s hands for many years but ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ) the idea is that eventually AAA studios will make use of that to increase game asset size.
