Still rad tho.

To be fair, you wouldn’t actually do that. There are performance, reliability, and HA reasons to spread things out, and storage that dense creates its own issues.

Watched a YT video about KIOXIA’s bonkers 245 TB SSD drives. 10-15 years ago I had a team that built multi-petabyte Ceph clusters using spinning rust, requiring a bunch of servers, high speed networking, and a lot of software. Now you can just slap a bunch of these drives into a server. 😂
