    “For personal users, this SSD can store 11,000 90-minute 4K movies,”

    This is less useful than libraries of congress.

      I disagree. I very much want something like this at some point for media storage. One of these babies could replace all of my spinning disk drives.

        Make sure you make backups - it’s better to have multiple small drives in case of failure than one big, but in any case 3-2-1 backups!

          I only 3-2-1 my photos and configs. No need to back up my Linux isos

          Then I guess I disagree for a different reason—the ballpark estimate definitely helped me conceptualize how far that storage would go for me.

      Honestly, that size of drive doesn’t need a comparison. This isn’t for your average user, so you don’t need to dumb it down for them.
