Remember when Samsung launched the world's first 15 terabyte SSD? It wasn't that long ago, in March 2016, but it was a crazy amount of solid state storage at the time.
Now, Seagate blew that record out of the water: On Tuesday, at the Flash Memory Summit conference in Santa Clara, the company has demonstrated a 60TB SSD, currently the largest solid state drive out there.
Unless your media collection is really, really large, one of these babies should last you a lifetime, as the 60TB capacity is enough to store 400 million photos or 12,000 DVD movies, according to Seagate.
As you might imagine, though, the 60TB SAS SSD is a product aimed at enterprises, and the price will probably be outside of most individuals' range. Samsung's 15TB SSD is also an enterprise-grade product.
And if you thought 60TB is a lot, just check Seagate's sales pitch for the new drive (pictured above): "Reach 1PB (one petabyte) with only 17 drives."
Seagate's monstrous SSD is currently available for demonstration, and is expected to hit the stores "some time in 2017."
