Now that's a big SSD

[HCHTech]

We just quoted for one of our architect clients, the addition of 8TB of additional SSD storage on their server.

There are 4 drive bays available, so we can either do a RAID1 with 8TB drives or a RAID10 with 4TB drives. Either way, these will be the largest drives I've worked with.

We quoted both Kingston Server 7.68TB units and Seagate Server 4TB units. We chose these mostly on spec and availability. Normally we like Intel server drives or Samsung DCTs, but could get neither from our distributors.

Better make sure the data is backed up regularly. When the SSDs fail, there is a good chance that it may not be recoverable, even by a professional lab like mine.
