Community captions are very beneficial for all KZbin channels, and viewers. You don’t have to have a form of hearing impairment for them to be useful. They are like elevators. Some people need them, others don’t, but still use them because it’s EXTREMELY CONVENIENT!!!! Also, language barrier?!?!? KZbin’s auto-generated captions are often times incorrect, and are only remotely useful if used on English with an American accent. Do creators speak all of the languages that their viewers speak? No. Do they read all those languages? No. Is google translate a good alternative? HECK NO!!! Anyone who had used google translate knows that every 3 sentences will have altered meaning. Anyway, I hope you know that I contribute to Community captions, and they are a necessity for an open platform (don’t fight me on that one!!!)

That shiny thing covering the IC is called lacquering. It is basically non-conductive lacquer applied to the chip for some reason. It prevents corrosion and sometimes to do with electromagnetic shield as well. This is normal in automotive electronic to give certain degree of protection to the "functional safety" components.

The rate of doubling has been loosely applied to many other things in tech and it's by no means a requirement, it's just something that Moore noticed and predicted would continue and for the most part he was right. On your speculation, you know how things improve right? They incrementally improve by improving a process until near perfection using the tools available, then create a new method of doing their job or find/make some new advancement and there is a jump in some metric. Computing power, storage density, storage speed, etc. There is no way to predict what we will actually have or what we will have found out 10 years from now. Our lives won't be drastically different but something will be. They also will never rest on their laurels until everything is perfect. "Small enough" for consumer desktops isn't good enough. If they can make circuits smaller, they will continue to. Intel has hit a wall in improving process size and performance, but that's one company with one small part of a computer. "Small enough" isn't when some consumer product is good enough. That's not a driving factor. "Small enough" or "good enough" is when a computer uses negligible power to computer everything the world needs and can fit inside a human cell. Probably. They'll probably reach that and have some reason to continue advancing. They will most likely never stop advancing. How long have they been improving hammers and bows and arrows? Since soon after the dawn of man. 10 years ago hardly anyone had cell phones. Now kids have them and they can do more than a desktop from 10 years ago could. Those desktops also had several GB drives. Now we have several TB drives commonly. 60 GB 5400 rpm drive is no longer good enough. Someone today wants more than 50 TB of lightning fast storage for all of their personal files and accesses it somewhat randomly and commonly. In about 10 years they'll probably have it, but by then it'll be common to see mutli-10's-of-TB drives in personal PCs and petabyte drives in enterprise solutions.

If you are working on a computer that is in a case/plugged in or grounded in some way that there a low resistance path then even purposefully zapping the motherboard probably won't cause any damage. The problem is when you are first assembling and handling isolated components. You WILL be discharging static at undetectable levels that are still enough to cause problems down the line, it all depends on the motherboard and were that electricity decided to jump over. Maybe everything seems fine for 3 years, then you're getting some problem that you chalk up to driver issues, never connecting it with the time you touched the motherboard. You can get crazy paranoid about it but the fact is most modern hardware is pretty resilient and have protection measures to deal with accidental ESD. That said, there is a reason aviation electrical equipment is assembled in clean rooms with tremendous ESD protection measures.. when the equipment will be in service for many years and lives depend on it you want to leave nothing to chance.

Enterprise SSD FW engineer here. This kind of capacity on one drive has a lot of concern and the market is very small, which is why not everyone is making it. This include: 1) Blast radius: if one 8TB SSD goes down you lose 8TB, but you can recover that very quickly. If you have 100TB goes down you are 100TB down, and it is a lot of capacity goes down and take 12x as much time to bring it back online to the same capacity and throughput. 2) The interface cannot handle that much IO, you are wasting the performance if you use that much capacity without 12x the interface bandwidth, 12x the CPU throughput, 12x the memory bandwidth, etc. You are throwing money away by using that compare to 12x 8TB NVMe drives. 3) The market for 100TB drive is small. Application for that much data usually want it over a fabric and keep the compute and storage separate. You will waste a lot of capacity unused when you keep it for one drive on one system. If you are going over to fabric, with the limit on interface, why don't you just go over 12 8TB drive for more throughput, cheaper price, and smaller blast radius anyways? You can keep cheaper fewer spare around too. 4) Economy of scale is probably a slight advantage. This drive will likely sell much fewer in volume than a common 8TB drive that most customers buy, so more R&D cost per TB than the smaller more common one at the same time of production and development. That said, it does have a special place and if your legacy system need one drive and you don't want to mess with that, but still need a fast and big drive without any development on your enterprise software, or upgrading your database license (cost million), then this is made just for you. In that case $40k a drive is not expensive, it is a bargain. I suspect this is why they keep it on a SATA interface (legacy system demand). BTW, they don't need any thermal pad and can stack so many NAND dies together because they are running very slow over that many dies per SATA bandwidth, it won't get hot enough. The controller board that fan out SATA into multiple with no bridge or switch chip means they are running SATA in parallel, and each drive is responsible for handling their corresponding LBA range only, running different firmware configuration. Basically they are running N drives together and each respond only to the specific range of read or write of every single command. The IOPS will be low but who cares when it is just a SATA? They can also use any SATA controller as the overall speed would still be fast enough even if they use something super low. (The popular controller for SATA is Marvell as they are cheap).

Exactly is why I don't ever trust putting all my data on a single high capacity drive unless I have reliable backups, or I spread it over smaller drives. One drive goes kaput it becomes a major downtime period before backup and rebuild.

[@paulstubbs7678]

Didn't you notice, it had a very low data throughput on it's interface, so it's probably intended for use in a large array for someone like Google or AWS etc. So the comments about so much data in one place are wrong, it is only going to be a very small part of a massively larger system.

Hey you have NASA level thinking. Maybe you should apply lol. Or SpaceX if NASA isn't your thing.

That actually makes a lot of sense! And for $40k?? It’d be a steal! :D

Not really. Need radiation hardened electronics up there, & certainly not ok for Mars.

Community captions are very beneficial for all KZbin channels, and viewers. You don’t have to have a form of hearing impairment for them to be useful. They are like elevators. Some people need them, others don’t, but still use them because it’s EXTREMELY CONVENIENT!!!! Also, language barrier?!?!? KZbin’s auto-generated captions are often times incorrect, and are only remotely useful if used on English with an American accent. Do creators speak all of the languages that their viewers speak? No. Do they read all those languages? No. Is google translate a good alternative? HECK NO!!! Anyone who had used google translate knows that every 3 sentences will have altered meaning. Anyway, I hope you know that I contribute to Community captions, and they are a necessity for an open platform (don’t fight me on that one!!!)

That's usually how it goes. I remember my dad buying a 4MB (if I'm not mistaken) SD card for something like $60-70 back in the early 2000s for his then-new digital camera. The stupid part is you'd probably have to pay that sort of money these days for one simply because they don't make them that small anymore
