It is an SSD for a reason, someone needs to persist and/or read a lot of data quicker than they would with HDD
It's probably cheaper and faster to ship 368TB on a plane than over the wire so it makes sense it's portable.
why not just buy a 747 and fill it with racks of hardrives and sell plane tickets to transport data, could make a killing, wide open market there
>Boeing JeetAirOS activates
>billions in hardware gone
You're late, that already exists with something similar to OP. Although they also already changed to flash due to vibrations.
>boeing
>why not just buy a 747 and fill it with racks of hardrives
>a 747
do you want your data to literally crash
as long as it's not a modern 737 or 787, I don't see what would be the problem?
only a few 747s were made under the current Boeing regime, and the plane has since been discontinued.
Because the moment you do, the glowies get nervous and/or lick their lips and then they'll confiscate it.
That's literally how Amazon does it with its truck. And the radio astronomers haul VLBI data that way for ages.

Cool idea, but
If it's Boeing, I ain't going.
How do you get the plane to the data centre to attach that storage to someone's network?
Ukraine needed something like that 2 years ago.
Also if you're moving a huge database then just use a suitcase.

I like how with all that shit there he’s somehow ashamed of what’s on his laptop screen and felt compelled to hide it.
>ashamed
He's just being careful.
Ive seen the actual pic on IQfy recently. He didn't hide it at all, this pic was edited after the fact by some homosexual, because it was NSFW i think.
I hope that these posts/screenshots are just people memeing.
You sweet innocent child. You are too pure for this world
Redditors make shit up and post it on the internet for upvotes and attention. Redditors also make shit up and post it on IQfy for (You)s and attention. The subtitle on /b/ does not exclusively apply to that board.
yeah, he should be sloptimizing all that geographic survey data by saving it as gifs and jpegs. Fricking moron.

I run 24 tb homeserver for media center and security cameras, it will never get filled even with RAID, i imagine if i beef it up and host 2 gaming stations on it would still take years to run it out of space, as my two gaming setups with 4 tb each currently still sitting at less than 50% capacity

I stopped saving shit locally long before even reaching 4TB
and I can probably delete about 50% of what I have, just stupid TV shit I'll never watch again
data hoarding just ain't what it used to be
Would you be interested in archiving sites?
>Why would someone need this much storage in a portable format?¡!
People who do large sport/news events and need to dump lots of data
People who are doing huge migrations of data but don't have a network to make it worth it
Companies who might need to dump tons of data for audits or forensics
When you get to that size it's much faster to transport the drives than doing an internet transfer
No, it's not.
You'd still be bottlenecked by the SSD thoughput. Which is not that much faster than a high-speed corporate-grade Internet access.
If you're using a single SATA link maybe.
Something like this could (and should) have multiple memory controllers operating on separate blocks of memory in parallel that present a unified interface through PCIe 5 16x
But you know all too well it's not.
It's a gadget aimed at moronic nepohire. moronic nepohire don't think in term of bottlenecks.
It's probably using USB3 or some other marketable -but inefficient- shit. With an unecessary layer of bloatware for good measure.
>But you know all too well it's not.
there are solutions that already are like that on the market so if you are somehow right they will just be beaten by bestjews or some other companies 200 terabyte suitcase instead
>Western Digital, known for its hard drives and SSDs, has unveiled a new product that isn't a storage device in the technical sense. The product, known as the Ultrastar Transporter, is a new Western Digital-built travel case that houses a whopping 368TB of NVMe flash storage. The case is TAA compliant and has a 12-core Intel Ice Lake server that houses all SSDs and dual 200Gb ethernet ports.
That's not too shabby actually. There's not that much backbone infrastructure that could beat that transfer rate.
On the downside :
>1,300W power supply
That's manageable, but not negligeable.

>the device contains a Xeon 4310 with 12 cores. To achieve high data rates, however, a powerful CPU is needed, especially via network interfaces. There is also 128 GB of RDIMM RAM. All SSDs, including the two boot SSDs, are accessed via NVMe.
>Once at its destination, the "SSD" is connected to the network via 200GbE via two QSFP112 ports in order to then provide or collect the data on site.
Academia regularly produces shitfrick tons of data and labs don't usually have the required internet infrastructure, because they're either too remote or too specialized.
You know ALMA in the atacama desert? Those telescopes are in the middle of fricking nowhere and while they do have internet, it's mainly for communications woth staff and shit.
A couple weeks of observations can easily produce a couple hundred TB of data and it is 100% cheaper to move that data to a device and fly it to a supercomputer facility than it is to build (and maintain) the entire high speed infrastructure required for that data transfer.
also alma cannot have most or maybe any wireless communications, bc of possible interference, with limits you a ton bc they are in middle of nowhere
That too, but they do have some minor local area wifi for communications, since the radio telescope array is decently away (and spread around) from the command centre.
Since ALMA works in the 4 to 0.3 mm range, longer frequencies (such as those from wifi) can be tuned out or compensated if some interference does happen.

Why is walmart allowed to sell fake flash drives?
Why is Walmart allowed to sell nonexistent meat? They make billions off this shit and when caught red handed they have to pay out a poultry 45 million? But some Black person steals meat from Walmart you know he's going to jail. I want to see the Walmart exects behind bars.

About the size of a compressed human brain.
This is to transport the machine.
Is that a goddamn Liir?
my robot produces 20-40 gigs per hour of dive time.
dives are up to 48 hours long with 2 hours turnaround
jobs are up to 3 months long 7 days a week
that's upwards of 90 terabytes of data for 1 job (multibeam sonar, laser, camera stills, fls sonars)
if I want to deliver the data to a customer, one of these things might be useful and way more reliable than a shitty portable USB drive
what exactly is your business? what are you selling to the customers?
high resolution geographic survey data of offshore oil fields and other such products.
sounds awesome and very expensive
man your encodes are garbage
12mp 16bit grayscale deflate compressed tiff images at 1.5hz are still around 30MB a second
laser data is about 56k per scan line at 50 scans a second
Sonar data is extremely dense if you're collecting water column (we usually don't) at 32MB a ping, usually around 30 pings per second.
we also collect black box stats data at around 5 gigs per day, although that's in a sqlite DB with double,double records so we could compress it by around 85% if we had to
most fun I ever had, hardest problems I've ever encountered, like making a high end game AI but actually useful
I bet most of that is highly compressible, even if your too lazy to make a proper compression format for it I bet it would 7z reall nice.

Are those your genders?
tiff supports different compression techniques internally, but you're basically limited to lzo and deflate for any kind of portability.
quic is just udp, sctp might be cool but why complicate the problem when tcp can handle it and everyone is familiar with it?
QUIC is reliable, that was the point.
SCTP itself is often implemented on top of udp.
And those were just examples (prominent ones used in HTTP3 and WebRTC). The point was that you can get reliability on top of UDP without going full TCP.
As for tiff. Here is a quick and dirty test with a few desktop screenshots. Input is raw tiff.
Training done with:
zstd -2 -o zstd_dict_2 -B128k --train *.raw.tiff
zstd -6 -o zstd_dict_6 -B128k --train *.raw.tiff
So, default small(ish) dictionary size is used (110KiB).
-----
ffmpeg / tiff (deflate)
Total size: 102.7528MiB
Encoding Time: 13.7s (15.2 - 1.5 raw tiff decoding)
zstd -2 -D zstd_dict_2
Total size: 102.5664MiB
Encoding Time: 1.8s
zstd -6 -D zstd_dict_6
Total size: 87.0655MiB
Encoding Time: 4.8s
my input dataset is 16bit grayscale, and my images have to be compatible with an existing vendor program, so I can only use widely available and likely-to-be-included compression options.
lzo was too expensive and zstd wasn't available
My point was to compress raw TIFFs with zstd, and maybe stream-decompress them on the other side, not use zstd within TIFF.
But maybe there are limitations (vendor or otherwise), as you mention, that doesn't allow for that.
just as an aside, often times compression is too expensive to employ on the robot computers because it has to dedicate most of its CPU time to streaming, storing, and processing the data.
we picked deflate on the tiff images because we could operate at 30hz which gave us enough headroom to save and process the image in time to be ready to receive the next one.
Not him but some equipment only works with specific encodes or data dumps. It's better to get everything then trim the fat later than have a possible bottleneck on the equipment CPU/GPU or software doing the compression/encoding/etc during a "you only get one shot" situation.
we actually hit this problem recently; our laser was transmitting LAS data as 56k udp packets over loopback so we were losing like 30% of the scan lines.
had to work with the vendor to change that to tcp
the change also let us move away from having the vendor API running on our computers and onto their device computer. definitely made life easier

Bought a new Samsung nvme. It's been on for ~1000 hours and already at 97%. Based on this the estimated life is just over 3 years.
Sure it will probably last longer than that but still.
It's like buying a light bulb.
what do you do with it, do you write and rewrite constantly?
also how do you check the health
Time is not a factor in ssd health calculations.
How many TB has it written over the time? Health should be depleting as more and more writes are made. If health is dropping faster than expected, something must be doing lots of writes you (don't) know about.
samsung is generally ok, but has had certain drives with really bad firmware that eat themselves up quickly. Keep an eye on the SMART data and do some searches on your model # to see if others are having the same problem.
I've had a Corsair 1TB NVME SSD for almost 5 years and it's only at 90%, the frick are you doing with yours?

oops looks like our top secret government everything got lost off a back of a truck is israel
My company needed to move a massive amount of data to AWS glacial storage. We used one of their snowmobiles to do it. It took a bit to get the data into the truck but once they drove it to their datacenter they have some special connections that loaded it to s3 about 3x faster than we gave it to them.
Saved on pushing the data over the cloud, saved on data ingress costs in aws. and now saving a shit load on the costs of keeping the data.
They make smaller tools for the same process like the "snowbal" which lets someone do the same thing with a suitcase. Depending on the dataset size and its location it can certainly be cheaper and faster to do it physically. Ingress/egress costs can be a b***h depending on who youre paying in the chain. A colo egress of a couple PB of data probably costs more than that suitcase
(pic not mine)
>snowmobiles
They made one truck for one company originally and not many companies tend to use them.
Who do you work for anon?
"My company" is a misnomer here since I dont work for them anymore. But it was digitalglobe. Dont remember the exact dates since pre-covid is a blur but it around 2017. Before I moved from Denver.
Theres no way only one company has used it. The dates we originally wanted to move it it was reserved.
