I look forward to reading this years from now after holographic storage is the norm, or SSD prices drop significantly.

 

Really the specs on the device are impressive, and I would be exceptionally thankful to have all of my data on a SSD of this magnitude.

Considering the Samsung 16TB internal 2.5inch SSD was unveiled in August 2015, I might wait a bit for this.

I can pick up five 1TB drives from Samsung for around $400 on Newegg.com. The performance of this internal drive, or whatever characteristic commands a $50k price difference between off-the-shelf drives must be important to only the biggest companies.

I am not currently a corporation in need of this. A guy can dream though.
