We could be seeing the world's first 1PB SSD in 2023
This statement was made by CEO and founder of Nimbus Data, Thomas Izakovich
Nimbus Data also produced the world's largest Solid State Drive in the 100TB ExaDrive DC
As the future creeps up on all of us, technology shows no signs of slowing down. As chips get smaller and storage becomes even larger, CEO and founder of Nimbus Data, Thomas Izakovich has just revealed that the company is working on Solid State Drives that can store 400TB of data.
In an exclusive interview with TechRadar, Izakovich said, “we can do 200TB in 2021 and likely 400TB by 2023.”. So, why is it that a drive that is 400TB in size is so important. Well, for one, a drive with a native capacity of 400TB could potentially equal 1PB in tape capacity. This particular drive could be very expensive but it will also be much smaller and faster than most SSDs out there.

The company is also responsible for the world's largest Solid State Drive in the 100TB ExaDrive DC, which costs a whopping $40,000 (Rs. 29,87,900 approx directly converted). Is 100TB really worth that kind of money though? With the world moving forward at a breakneck speed, we wonder what different kinds of storage methods will we come up with next?
