What if you want to store 12,501 movies?

Think of all the Chia you could farm 🙄
You would loose money

Data hoarders frothing with excitement…
Been doing a lot of data verification lately. That max-sized drive would take almost a day to fill up at max speed (assuming you had a data source to max it’s interface out). Reading it all out again would only take a bit longer than 5 1/2 hours.
I’m sure there are plenty of orgs that these things would be a godsend.
Anyone got an idea of cost? Of course this is going to be brutal, but it's literally ten times what I have in my NAS, in a size slightly longer than a 2.5" drive.
Just... show me the price...
