100tb SSD based storage

Hmmm... 6k watts and it saves money on power? How much would 50 2tb drives use? Of course they wouldn't have the same speed or performance but the green series ones would use what? like 1/10th bare, so maybe 1/6th - 1/8th or so of that much after you figure in the rest of the hardware?
 
Need to print that article and see what develops in 5 year's time.

its save power when you compare it to what it would take to get those kind of IOPS using mechanical disks.

Help me knock off a few banks first and then I'll get one :D

I just feel a little uneasy about the whole Texas "make my day" law :eek:


See you guys tomorrow!!!


JK about the bank comments (have to put this clause in here these days)

SOB
got me all excited, and then you back out.
 
Hm.. 5000000/(200 IOPS [15K SAS]) = 25000 hard disks. That should use up a decent amount of power. Like 25000 * (15 W for a typical 15K SAS) = 375000W. Just hard disks here .. no controllers or anything. I'd like to say 6kW saves money.
 
In for one...thanks OP.

375kW @ $0.20 per kW*Hr = $1875/hour

6kW @ $0.20 per kW*Hr = $30

So $1845/hour into $4.4 million = 2384 hours or or $3.3 months for payback if the SAS array was free. I would call that a steal.
 
Maybe Kyle could get in on one of these - it might overcome the annual [H] forum woes with brute force! :eek:

*knocks on wood*
 
I don't think that math is right...

375kW @ $0.20 per kW*Hr = $75/hour

6kW @ $0.20 per kW*Hr = $1.20/hour

so in comparison... $73.80 in savings per hour = 59620,60 hours to pay off $4.4mil
or...2484.20 days
or... 6.8 yrs...
 
well, its not just about simple power bill
its space, the hipotetical 25000 sas drive array will take way way way more space and build up dayly/monthly costs even higher + the initial build should be that far from ssd
in theory, 25k drives, using bigest cases in market (48-50hdds per rack), is rougly 500 cases in 50 40u racks ...

which would cost way more than 4.4million.

Its not a good $/GB ratio, but its a wicked $/IOPS ratio.
Thats there market not the high capacity storage market.
