I'd like to have about 50TB so I would have a central location to store all of my VMs at work.

If Fujitsu can do the spec'd density, you just might get it.

I invented RAID-5 (simultaneously with Patterson, et al) at the MN Supercomputer Center in 1986. We used rows of IBM 3380 DASDs hooked to an IBM mainframe acting as a NAS for a pair of CRAY-2s. Each DASD cabinet was 7ft high and 30ft long. The platters were 170GB total, cost circa $2 million.

Today you can buy the same capacity with better speed for $60.

Freaking Unreal.....I remember those 3380’s and the 2314’s before them...

So you're the one!       ;^)

I worked on a bunch of Arrays of 3380D and E style drives for IP Sharp's APL at a large company between '81-'87. They never took any downtime or lost any transactions, other than CP or power failures. Amazing thing is -- I have more computing power in my home office than they had in that whole room except for the network, tapes and printers. Scarey to imagine what's ahead for my kids, considering I thought the first Ball Point Pen to be a great leap.
