The drop in prices of SSD disks has contributed to older devices have been given a second chance, since it offers us a much higher reading and writing speed than what we can currently find in a traditional mechanical hard disk.
So far, the largest solid hard drive, SSD, that we had heard of, had a capacity of 60 TB, a real outrage and that in theory It allowed to cover all the storage and speed needs of the most demanding users. At least until now. The company Nimbus Data, has just presented the first SSD with a capacity of 100 TB.
The 100 TB ExaDrive is manufactured with 3D NAND MLC memories manufactured by SK Hynix, it has a consumption of 10 watts at rest and 14 watts in operation, a higher consumption than what we can find in a traditional SSD, such as the one we can have on our laptop or desktop. With a capacity of 20.000 HD movies or 20 million songs It is capable of offering us a read and write capacity of up to 500 MB / s.
The Nimbus Data company offers us the 100 TB ExaDrive and a 50 TB lower model, to cover all storage needs. As usual, this type of hard drives have very high prices, in accordance with the storage capacity and the access speed that it offers us, so unless you are a company and are interested in these models, it will be difficult know the price they have in the market.
The duration of this type of hard disk is less than the mechanical ones, but the manufacturer assures us that it will function without any problems. for at least 5 years, which translates into 2,5 million hours with complete peace of mind. This model will hit the market throughout this year.
