Scan is currently selling the 15TB one for £9,599, so one can only assume you'd need shy of £19,000 for the 30TB one.

Odd the connector port does not seem to be in the usual place on a drive, would struggle to fit that in most current drive caddies I would have thought

Still run out of storage for my pr0n collection.

To be fair in the Enterprise market and with those specs the price is fairly reasonable

[MrJim]

No RGB?

It is an SAS connector (hard to tell which one from the photo) so it wouldn't fit in a SATA caddy (and you probable wouldn't put it in a caddy anyway. )

Yeah, with enterprise storage you are more thinking what does your million quid buy you. Assuming 20K each, that's 1000000/20000 = 50 drives.

That's 1.5PB of flash storage in a couple of trays. Nice.

30tb ssd thats the stuff of dreams

[Iota]

No RGB?

I'm now wondering how long it will take for manufacturers of SSDs to add RGB logos and edges to their drives.....
