back to article Nimbus Data becomes OEM supplier of high-capacity SSD tech

    Ok, I'll ask the inevitable

    How many arms and legs is a 50Tb SSD going to cost me?

      50 TB SSD would be nice, but for the average home user it doesn't need the stupendous IOPs or sequential data rates which are normally associated with large SSDs.

      I'd pick up a couple of slow 10TB SSDs without too much fuss if they were vaguely price competitive (including power costs - 1W is worth about £1/year, and I expect disks to last quite a few years most of mine are 10 or so)

    The question you should be asking is ....

    What's the lead time? Cos if past experiences are anything to go by, you be waiting a very long time before you can use an array built on this technology.
