BiTMICRO announces 832GB SSD
When I first saw this, I almost didn't believe it. In fact, I still somewhat don't. Despite that, BiTMICRO Networks has announced they will unleased upon the world an 832GB solid-state drive, putting all existing and announced models to shame. At more than 10 times the current typical SSD offering, the drive also supposedly boasts a 100MB/s sustained read rates and manages to pack the entire thing into a 2.5” enclosure.
This is the second bold announcement they've made, with late last year a 417GB drive in the works. These claims, while exciting, are still just claims. BiTMICRO will begin releasing high-capacity SSDs in the first quarter of this year, so they say, so time will tell on whether or not they will live up to their promise.
It does seem a bit odd that other vendors like SanDisk are still touting much smaller drives as the next big thing, and then a company comes along announcing capacities that rival mechanical disks. We'll keep an eye out for this one.

Why couldn't they come out with this when the housing market was still on the bubble up? Now I have to sell my kids to afford one of these! |

Honestly, if they cant make it affordable, do you think they will try to release cheaper ones that are around regular hard drive sizes? (120, 160, 250) |
