3 Terabytes, 80 Watts

legoburner writes "The Enquirer is reporting that Capricorn have released a mini-itx based 1U-sized storage computer featuring four 750-GB hard drives and a 1-Ghz controller system with a typical power usage of an astounding 80 W per machine. A full 40U rack only uses 3.2 kW, which is less than 30 kW for an entire Petabyte!"

    "up, for a mere $200K, you too can have every reality TV program and/or naughty picture at your fingertips"

    It would only be worth the $200K if that included the rights to all reality shows - so I could pull the plug on all of them...
