28TB of SSD

[robj20]

Got these on my work bench at the minute, 60 PNY 480GB drives and another 200 next to my bench, its about time we started using these in DVRs. These are destined for Russia in conditions normal HDDs wont cope with.

I'm hoping we have some going spare, wouldn't mind one in my Sky box.

Very niceeee!

In Russia, you annoy hard drive with clicking

Holy mother of god - siphon off 1 or 2 and send them my way - and I got a good chuckle from d_brennens comment lol

 

[mcleish]

Thats quite a bit of money in front of you there!

 

[darael]

What sort of conditions will they be under that normal hardrives can't deal with?

 

[WuMyster]

Jesus christ...... how much did that all cost?

Id guess, temperature.

 

[robj20]

Yep sub zero temperature. There going on some new trains there getting.
The first batch of SSDs all failed within a few weeks, but PNY have done us a custom firmware that has fixed that.

Each DVR is getting two drives and another 140 going out as bare drives to replace all the failed ones.
If this goes to plan i can see all our mobile DVRs getting SSD in the future, just for the shock proof advantages.

What was the cause of failure? Hardware/environment or firmware?

 

[Mr-White]

RAID up and benchmark for the LuLz ?

[robj20]

I dont know all the facts about why they failed. Something to do with them being 100% full and never able to idle.

 

[Woden]

RAID 0

Wow! Around £76k RRP?

I can't find anywhere selling these drives selling for about £290 each. One store is selling them for around £370 each, making the total costs for 260 drives £96,200.

Probably not counting the VAT.
