    “We stopped using those years ago, gramps.”

    And here I am wasting my money on 24 TB obsolete HDDs when I could have just bought SSDs.

      We’ve got servers rolling off the lines at work using 24 22TB drives, that extend 22, 22TB drives if I remember correctly. You know incase you need a petabyte. Side by side on the rack. Those all are HDD’s with sata connectors.

      All the kids are using “the cloud” these days. Which is just a fancy proprietary server somewhere with spinning drives.

      The youngest seem to be on board with a full cloud OS.

      To me “the cloud” just mean you dont own your own product, not to mention the privacy issues. Spinning local HDD for me any day.

      The cloud = Monthly Subscription
