The 15 Terabyte SSD is TINY!! 

thats a lot of storage for wallpapers

"61 copies of CoD Warzone" Ah, forget Terabytes or Tebibytes, Warzones are the football fields of storage

Game devs: Nice! Now we can make the games 5TB each so you can store an entire 3 of them!

Ah, finally, a vessel large enough for all my Minecraft mods.

Linus: "This SSD probably has more storage than your entire household!" Data Hoarders: "Wanna bet?"

I demand a petition for getting this beautiful wallpaper in 4k

0:25 When she keeps going after you finished.

Imagine showing this to someone back in 1996

I like how the LMG staff is trolling him with those wallpapers lol

Finally, I can access my 15TB “homework” folder that is actually every season of Seinfeld in 4K at super speeds

I love how they use warzone as a measurement of ridiculous storage size 😂

Seeing harddrives grow has been interesting. My first one was 2gb. And I remember when I got my first 80gb, I thought I'd never need more. If things keep growing at the same rate it did last time, then it won't be long until we hit 80 TB.

I would use that to expand my "homework" folder

Linus: "The most ass looking data cable" Me: *looks at all my red sata cables that are in use connecting all my drives*

Linus: "hears a word that's 5 lightyears away from being relatable to the sponsor" Linus: "It's free real estate"

The vindictive glee that he said "Yet" with was beautiful yet horrifying.

"This thing has more storage than your entire household" You didn't need to cut that deep Linus :(

"This thing probably has more storage in it than your entire household" Bro that thing has 5 billion times the amount of storage of every school laptop in existence

FINALLY, a drive that can store up to 2 more COD updates!

"What will I do with all that storage??" Wait 10 years, this will be a decent budget build, if you don't need a 'lot'.

As a qualified child, I can confirm, yes, that is a bruh moment

Welcome to: things no one can afford

In earlier days before the release of IDE drives all drives that I knew about used 1KB=1024Bytes, 1MB=1024KB, and 1GB=1024MB (but it took a while before 1GB this become reality, and it was HUGE). The drive types were mainly MFM, RLL, ESDI and SCSI for MACs and servers. And there was no confusion about storage and memory capacity. It was even common that the drive capacity was a bit above the rated size, I guess not to cheat the customer of anything. Then IDE arrived as a lower-cost alternative for personal computers. At the start, all was as before but after I started to see drives with 1000 as a base for size instead of 1024. I think it was Conner or Quantum that was the first to start this, but I can not guarantee this. I think these brands were new with the introduction of IDE. The traditional brands continued to use the 1024 base for a while before they also switched over. I am sure though that Hitachi was one of the latest to switch over and they gave you that little extra. I still have some 75GB drives and I think also some 80GB that is based on proper GBs. But why did this change happened? I am quite certain that it's because IDE, in the beginning, was intended for the to a great degree computer illiterate consumer market and that someone with the first manufacturer to do this thought that by using 1000 based drives instead of 1024 they could sell slightly smaller drives for the same money and nobody would notice. And it seemed most didn't. I remembered that I thought it was highly immoral of the manufacturers to use fake KBs and MBs, so I avoided them and bought from honest manufactures that gave me the proper size. It looked very similar to someone selling using a slightly lighter pound or kg weight to cheat the customer, which is strictly illegal. But after some times, all had switched over. Today this part of computer history seems to have been lost to almost all that talk about storage size. To me, it seems strange, as I observed it happening. It looked like something very close to fraud has changed the norm of the whole IT business so that now all people think is that there is a very strange difference between storage and RAM, while the history behind it should have been known.

linus: “which isnt that good for todays standards” me: wait what i get 10 mbps writes and 12mbps reads 😭

"The biggest consumer drive is TINY" I was here before the title change, your black magic does not work on me, witch.

Finally an SSD that can store my "Homework" folder

“Aimed towards the average consumer huh?” *Clicks the link to Amazon* *Spits out coffee*

Before this vid, I always thought Gibybyte is just a cute way of referring to Gigabyte made by Jake (heard him say that in another vid) Thanks Linus!

Can't wait to use this for my 3 TB "homework" folder

0:21 Never underestimate the size of a man's " homework folder"

Filming in 12K 30fps does fill up storage pretty quickly. However I still prefer read and write speeds over storage capacity.

Alright we are finally there. I need like 10 of these then I can finally install all my Games / Steam collections.

"More storage than your entire household" *Laughs in Homelab*

Linus: "The most ass looking sata cable" Me: *Hides my tower's vents*

Mad movie,and animation file dumps of my favorites that I always like to have a digital file of, and of course games.

I LOVE the Big O reference! I miss that so much!

Linus to his camera crew: WHY DID YOU LET ME OPEN A $4,000 SSD?!?!

Finally, a SSD that can hold both my games and all my hentai folders

Tech moves so fast. I remember when a gigabyte of ssd was new and 4,8 and 16 mb thumbdrives just being the beez knees.

Linus: what would you do with this? Linus: sneaking it into his server.

In the credits Writer: "It is a mystery" Me: "All right, then. Keep your secrets."

I think the superior video editing on this one needs to be acknowledged. Bravo, sir/madame. 4:52

0:24 nice wallpaper you got there

When the *SSD* in your computer has more RAM than your actual RAM.

Linus: "Cramming data into this tiny enclosure with no moving parts" Colton: "Is he talking about me again!"

2:42 I haven't advanced yet - but I can already see you explaining "terabytes vs Trillions of bytes" AND how much overhead past that Windows has in formatting a drive.

I actually just realised, not only are two 8TB QVO way cheaper, you can put both in a silent USB C gen 2 enclosure in raid 0 and get much better performance than this drive also.

me: wants one looks it up: $3,199 me: nevermind

Linus: "Why is it so slow?" Me: **Laughs in HDD**

I have about 144 TBs of storage capacity. I archive loads of videos and have assets i use for 3d and video. Plus my render outputs are usually 4k 60fps 16 bit multilayer EXR files for animation. So trust me. For the normies 15 tb is alot, but for independent data buffs and indie production; more is always better.

His backgrounds are always so great

Linus: this thing probably has more storage in it than your entire household Linus's house: *laughs in 10 petabytes*

Linus: How much would you pay? Everyone else: Less than what you would pay.

10:02 killed me haha

This SSD indeed got more storage than my entire house

I hate when he sarcastically says “probably has more storage than your entire household” and sadly he aint wrong...

"aimed at consumers" its 3.2k usd, thats aimed at rich consumers lmao

You can use it on a 16 channel 4K DVR to store security camera video. My 8 channel security camera DVR has four Drive Bays for hard drives. And it's only 720P per Channel.

Thank you Technology Connections for teaching me about the difference between -ga / -bi 😁

I'mma tell you straight, chief Even if I could afford the cost in price, I couldn't afford the cost in time to fill it up

As a teenager, I can confirm that that was indeed a bruh moment

With 15.3TB, I could download as many Linus Tech Tips videos as digitally possible...

15.3TB is barely enough to store all my full HD and UHD films, music and photos. Currently using 14TB and 12TB drives but do look forward to affordable high capacity SSD, so long as it is very reliable.

Everyone's got that one friend who would actually buy this

Welcome to another Episode of can't afford but still watching!

The energy, the editing, the pace, the product itself - I love it! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Since samsung qvo 870 are up to 8tb, I'd say go for two of those for fraction of the cost while using up a bit more physical space should be fine for practically anyone that may potentially want this one.

With 2-3 of those i can have a SSD cache larger than my actual HDD volume.... Tempting

Finally, a contender for my 12.6 TB "Bible studies" folder

I see what you did there 0:00 let's get the Linus drops something meme out of the way right at the start

I would use it for content creation for my photography and videography and a portion for very large games

Linus: This thing has more storage than your entire house Me: ... **slides my pathetically small 50TB storage server out of frame** ... you're absolutely right.

I don't think I'd call something that costs $3,200 a "Consumer" drive.

0:31 OH GOD, THE WALLPAPER ON THE PC BACK THERE.

Wait a minute! I always thought that the lost space on a hard drive was due tun the bytes used in formating the drive. The space in sectors, preamble and postamble, sync bits, ecc bits, and all the like. Those things do use up space, but I really don't offhand know how much.

Finally a ssd that can hold all my "homework"

The Homework folder finally can remain uncompressed. Letsgooo

I've got 2 team group 1tb ssd. One for me and my wife. Had them for years without any issues. I'm glad a came across this might have to buy some.

would love to have one. Can finally move some of my 27 tb of data hoarding

Im here 40% to learn from Linus and 60% to watch the Cameraman and Editors troll Linus. You guys are my heroes

>more storage than your entire household bold of you to challenge the datahoarder gang

4TB hard drives are around 100-150 Cad a piece. Which means you could buy a lot more storage capacity for a lot less, although not as fast.

That desktop wallpaper is life

Aimed at consumers Consumer: “how will I afford all the games to fit on it after buying it”

1:18 My textures finally loading in.

i can remember 16k expansion packs for the zx80 / spectrum in the UK in the early 1980s.. wonder if this qualifies ??

I have the exact same sata cable in my pc from 2008

Me: has School Linus: *UPLOADS* Me: choice I no have

I trained myself to detect linus' sponsor segways before they happen but i was not prepared for this one

I would use it as transcode cache for my media server, and Minecraft save data

I'd get two of them and actually be able to install my entire steam library at once.

I just bought a WD 7gb/s NVME SSD...it's amazing how overkill this is :'D I whish I'd have informed myself better before buying.

Linus: "What would WE do with it?" My first thought: "Drop it?"

Normal Peaple: like your monitor Me: ayo, Linus, let me get that wallpaper 😉

I'm fine with a 512Gb SSD and separate terabyte HDD's. Lots of file and game storage on your HDD's and your demanding programs and OS go on the SSD. I happen to have a 1Tb SSD and 2x1Tb HDD's so all my games can be on the SSD. Storing games on a HDD usually doesn't affect performance, only loading times. Minecraft is an exception due to the generation of new chunks.

2:42 Yes Linus, this qualifies as a certified BRUH moment

This reminds me back in the day when they were crossing the 100GB threshold than 500GB, than 1TB. Wake me when we get to 100TB on NvMe.

I would use it for network raouter at home so have a movie/music central. Where everybody can get hold of there stuff.

Would want 2 or more where a master and backup of everything. With more RAM as well.
