And nothing for us consumers?
Do you need more than the 32TB CMR disks they have up on Amazon right now?
Remind me, which do we like more? H.A.M.R. or C.M.R.
CMR is simpler and more reliable/battle-tested IMO
Of course! 😛️
Yes actually I do, building a jellyfin server using my local libraries and any dvd I can buy at local good will and thrift stores to make my personal streaming service.

Holding out for them 100tb NVME SSDs!
