Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cool-factor dept.

knight13 writes "Engadet is reporting that EMC is rolling out a petabyte RAID array. From the article, "And if you're ready for that level of storage, there's now someplace to get it: EMC has launched its first petabyte array, a version of the company's flagship Symmetrix DMX-3 system that includes nine room-filling cabinets of drives." The price? A mere $4 million."

      >What if someone wanted to make a photo album with 1 picture for each person on the planet?

      How about this, limit the sample to women aged 18-35, but take several photos? Maybe even more space could be saved by taking off the extra clothes...

    The phrase "TV-quality" is always amusing to me. Digital television is just starting to roll now in Holland (or maybe I'm just now starting to notice it) and the one feature that is supposed to sell it is the great quality of the picture. But that's not really the problem with television. Everyone I know has cable tv, which is good enough for me. The problem is there's never anything on.
    So saying that you could make a TV-quality video of your life is like saying your life sucks.
