I remember a decade ago my boss came back from NAB really excited to see a petabyte that fit in 1 standard rack, made up entirely of spinning disks (which he caused some concern to onlookers by immediately opening the thing and pulling out random disks to see how the system handled it). Now this has roughly half that capacity and can sit on the desk.

The punchline -
However, you must be prepared to spend a pretty penny to get this device, as it costs $78,999. It comes with all the drives included, though, which cost more than $7,340 apiece, so you’re saving money on that.
That’s $20k for the device then on top of the cost of the drives!
