Anyone fancy a 61TB SSD

Only $4,000 or so.

It's been publicised as under development for a while. I wonder if taking preorders means they want deposits because of having cash flow problems .

I think I'll pass.

To many of my generation (starting as a trainee programmer on LEO III) such capacity in something you can put in your pocket is as unfathomable as talking about distances of hundreds of lightyears! Even simple memory cards I can walk into supermarkets and buy, (and often do), are mind-boggling.

I have a friend who for years has had an cochlear implant in his head to provide hearing on his right side. Elon Musk's Neuralink has been authorised for human trials.

What will tech be like in another five or six decades. None of us can have the slightest clue. Though science fiction may tell us, as so frequently in the past. 1984 (written in 1949 though arriving a bit late) and Babel-fish (1978) are now with us.

Will we even need mobile phones or home routers?

More worrying, Bob, is whether the technology will even need people. If technology has the same moral compass as business then people are an unnecessary expense.

Its not the largest on its own. Micron have been selling a 60TB one for almost a year, 120TB ones will appear soon as one controller chip was listed for sale, likely Micron has there own already. Difference with this one is the price - this one is 'cheap'.
