Costs comparable to that of SSDs and small drive size.
Additionally, in enterprise solutions, you should not be using singular drives. You should be using drives in conjunction with RAID or similar disk concatenation technologies.
Doing so lowers the load on individual drives and contributes to longer device lifespan.
Hopefully we start seeing boards transitioning over to offering connectivity for ever-greater numbers of M.2 drives.
For RAID-0, the big issue is "lose a drive and you're fucked".
For RAID-5, the big issue is "lose a drive on a large-enough array and you could be looking at an unrecoverable read error during the array recovery".
Granted, most of the people who are using these setups are frothing gamers and hardware junkies who aren't keeping anything truly valuable within those filesystems. But for those who are looking for truly dependable storage solutions, they should be looking at RAID-10 or better, or looking to offload their storage needs to a device that can handle something like RAID-6 or high-level ZFS.
Honestly, most of your options don't lead to demonstrably better selections.
With an option to vote for "None of the Above", voters have a way to tell the various political entities "None of these assholes are acceptable. Try harder."
Then give the parties 45 days to find and prep another candidate (who can't be one of the rejects).
I can almost guarantee that we'll stop seeing these huge, clout-heavy, money-munching campaigns when said asshat candidates can be told "Oh that was cute. Now run along!"
Simply because any idiot can run a shitty, badly configured Exchange server, and that large companies hire multiple idiots to run large networks of shitty, badly configured Exchange servers doesn't mean it's a Smart Idea.
Outlook is for business, because Exchange is for business.
Outlook is a shitty mail client for idiots because Exchange is a shitty mail solution for lazy-fuck admins.
The ONLY thing Exchange has going for it is that it's integrated into Active Directory, making mail user creation part of domain user creation.
If it weren't for this sad fact, Exchange would have died years and years and years ago.
The fact that you have a MAIL SERVICE that literally eats the entire resources of a server, belches and screams for more, all while delivering bare functionality, for a minimal number of people is an absolute joke.
Why should anyone who isn't a greedy corporate raider or rapper wannabe care about "Greedy corporate raider threatens rapper"?
Let's see, I have zero desire to buy a company, jack up prices or dismantle it.
I wear my pants up around my waist where they belong. If I wear a ball cap, it isn't set on my head cockeyed. I don't drown myself in bling. Hell, I don't wear bling in the first place. I don't talk funny. I don't shoot people over a pair of Air Jordans or some silly east/west coast rivalry that is ALMOST as meaningless as the rivalry between democrat and republican.
XServes and XSans were decent entry-level products. And they actually sold moderately well.
However, there were some valid criticisms of the platforms. And Apple didn't want to invest the time and effort into addressing them, nor scale their offerings.
The thing is, Apple simply doesn't WANT this business sector. They have no real understanding of it, and no real desire to become a real, enterprise-grade support organization. It's too important to them to be these foofy, artistic, independent "fuck the man" mavens. Plus, enterprise, while a lot of money flows around, is EXTREMELY cutthroat. So the margins tend to be smaller than you'd think.
The actual point is "Debtor's Prison" doesn't work. Because you're removing the individual's ability to earn money, further hampering their ability to pay said fine.
In some states, prison time can be taken in lieu of fines. But for any state where this is not so, debtor's prison is fucking idiotic.

And what do you see with "enterprise" drives?
Costs comparable to that of SSDs and small drive size.

You mean like Seagate *DEAD!* drives....?
Most decent SSDs of sufficient size already outlast these.
Because they can't monetize it enough to make it worthwhile.
This is why online advertising will be a dirty, dangerous place that makes the Wild West and Mad Max look like a Sunday church service.
And, consequently, this is why end users who have a clue and actually give a shit, will opt for the most draconian forms of ad blocking possible.
And they're FINALLY catching up to the City of Heroes base builder?
No, but it was used in the original post reporting the article...
And I stopped reading bullshit article right there...
Yeah, but looks like they missed and blasted themselves in the balls.
Seriously, the Win10 upgrade crap has reached the point where it's effectively malware.
AV/Anti-Malware providers need to start killing it on an automated basis.
And a lawsuit needs to be brought against Microsoft for infecting their users computers with it.
When was the last time you actually had to rebuild an array with large (4GB+) constituent disks?
And they don't read THAT slowly. Indeed, the increased (and sustained) load during the rebuild can cause additional drives in the array to fail.
Hopefully we start seeing boards transitioning over to offering connectivity for ever-greater numbers of M.2 drives.

That Gigabyte board is looking more and more attractive.
And I'm actually due for a system rebuild this year...
"I gave zem nussink!"

Basically, anyone who's ever used a Windows Phone device has known that the platform, from birth, was performing a slow-motion hara kiri.
It was just a matter of time.

This is almost exactly my experience.

Any second now I'll be able to dredge up some sympathy for them.
Any...
second...
now...
Ah crap.
*Pokes self in eye*
There! Is that close enough to tears?
Fuck Apple.
It's essentially an elaborate troll by anti-intellectuals.
It can be solved, simply, by taking someone up high enough that they can actually see the curvature of the planet in no unambiguous terms.
And all these purported flat-earthers have is "Nuh uh!".
So, again, that's not an argument.
The actual point is "Debtor's Prison" doesn't work. Because you're removing the individual's ability to earn money, further hampering their ability to pay said fine.
In some states, prison time can be taken in lieu of fines. But for any state where this is not so, debtor's prison is fucking idiotic.
Since where are a bunch of schlocky "hit the monkey" ad-mongers "the press"?
It's my computer. I have a right to use it as I see fit. I have a right to control what comes across my screen.
They do not have the right to infect my machine with malware just to make a buck.
Again, online advertising is a nasty whore with every STD known to man (and probably a few we haven't discovered yet).
Adblockers are condoms.
WRAP THAT RASCAL!
Why yes. Yes they do.
