[luv-talk] hard drive sizes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_drive#Capacity Currently the biggest available 3.5" SATA disks are 4TB according to Wikipedia. Has anyone seen announcements of bigger hard drives? One of my clients has a zpool of 3TB disks that is at 79% capacity so it's time to start thinking of adding more capacity. Upgrading from 4*3TB to 5*4TB would be barely worth doing. But upgrading from 4*3TB to 5*5TB would more than double the capacity and thus be a better option than buying an external case for adding more disks. So I'm wondering whether 5TB disks will go on sale before my client runs out of space. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
