They already exist. $dayjob bought some 64GB ssds. They were about $7500USD per drive.

Hippos are herbivores. They only kill tourists for fun.

While not hard drives, at $dayjob we bought a new server out with 16 x 64TB nvme drives. We don't even need the speed of nvme for this machines roll. It was the density that was most appealing.

It feels crazy having a petabytes of storage (albeit with some lost to raid redundancy). Is this what it was like working in tech up till the mid 00s with significant jumps just turning up?

You can also use systemctl status $pid to find out what service a process is from.

I think if anything I'd view it from the other direction. We had machines with hardware support for memory protection and multitasking and we got DOS. DOS was the abberation.

Microsoft was a Xenix vendor before it sold DOS.

How do you find the thermals in the DS380?

I've got one and when I did some IO burn in testing on some new drives, the drives in the top and bottom slot became so hot I voided their warranty.
