Seagate just unleashed 44TB hard drives - Lemmy.World

They can suck my dick and balls. None of this benefits the average consumer.
I don’t get the responses disagreeing with you. Citing as-yet undefined needs of an AVERAGE consumer while completely disregarding that the people on Lemmy are far more tech-focused and that the average tech level of a consumer is that they can’t even turn the computer off and on again. Almost nobody needs such massive storage, it’s a very niche need. The vast majority would never run out with 1TB. I’ve got 3TB and a huge collection of music, movies and photos I’ve backed up and there’s still room to go. The clowns disagreeing with you are running an -arr stack and thinking “I could fill that…”
640kb ought to be enough for anyone, right?

aimed at AI-scale data growth.

This is an important part that the responses glossed over. The responders suddenly forgot that they were just recently sold down the river for this aim, and seem to think that it won’t continue.
