First SSD with 1PB ‘usable capacity’ could come in 2023

In an exclusive email exchange with TechRadar Pro , CEO and founder of Nimbus Data Thomas Izakovich revealed that solid state drives with capacities of up to 400TB are on the horizon. "We can do 200TB in 2021 and likely 400TB by 2023," he said, in reference to the unformatted storage capacity of the company's yet-to-be-announced SSDs. This is a symbolically significant milestone, because a prospective SSD with a native capacity of 400TB equals 1PB in tape capacity. Tape vendors usually deliver a native/compressed number for tape storage . The largest tape size, LTO-8, currently tops 12TB native and 30TB compressed, while LTO-9 (expected to land later this year) is set to double the capacity to 24TB (60TB compressed).

Kindle vs Kobo: the best ereaders for Australians in 2020

Image
Australia's lockdown rules may have eased but the threat of the Covid-19 pandemic hasn't entirely gone away. If you're being cautious and continuing to stay indoors, then you may have a few spare hours each day to spend. While you could use that time to binge watch shows on Netflix or Stan, or get some pending DIY projects done and dusted, you could also spend that time catching up on your reading... without needing to even step into a bookstore or library. Although some booksellers have opened for business, buying or borrowing ebooks (many public libraries in Australia have extensive ebook catalogues) might still be the way to go. To read the digital versions of your favourite books, though, you will need a dedicated ereader, a device that can be fairly easy to dismiss if you've got a modern big-screen smartphone or tablet and you're using Amazon's Kindle app to get your ebook fix.
