Are we more likely to discover a compression breakthrough that allows data to take 10 times less space or a consumer storage technology that's going to be 10 times the size of current hard drives?Which one would you rather have?
>>109016331>Which one would you rather have?Compression is variable and never free. Give me a 100TB hard drive.
>>109016410what usecase could you possibly have where a NAS with 10 drives is not better
>>109016421having a NAS with ten 100TB drives
>>109016331Yeah, we just managed to get working ePMR/HAMR/MAMR in the last few years, which allows us to break through the ~2TB per platter (CMR) limit we were stuck at. I think the current timetable is getting up to 100TB by 2030 or so, but they already promised that by 2025 before so who knows, but at least we did go from 20tb to 40tb in the last 1-2 years so there's at least progress.After that the next hdd tech is bit-patterned media which has not been figured out yet. If it's figured out in the next few years, we'll live to see ~200TB disks.
just give me more space I don't care about compression only sites like youtube care
>>109016331More real storage ofc. Because said compression and even better already exists. Called LLM and diffusion models.
more compression won't stop itmore storage won't stop it but we will will always need more of both
>>109016331you're not going to have 10x better compression than current one, ever.see hutter prize, 1 gb of text is currently compressible to 107 mb, it's never going to reach 11 mb.
>>109016624AI can make it happen
>>109016624That depends on several conditions. Like: do we count the size of the compression algorithm as well, or is there a limit for the size of the compression algorithm?Most importantly: is lossy compression allowed? If so, see >>109016557
>>109016331AVIF specializes in extreme detail preservation below 0.1 BPP. Worth looking into that for images.
>>109016331how about less data in general?
>>109016331Quartz etched with friggin lasers.
>>109016453yes
>>109016331the first is theoretically impossiblethe second is already here with 100TB SSDs or those fancy PiB 3D disk things that get a news article every other year, but they aren't commercially viable yet.
>>109016331>compression breakthrough that allows data to take 10 times less spaceanon, people invented /dev/null decades ago
>>109016331>a compression breakthrough that allows data to take 10 times less spacejews then will make 2TB hard drives cost $1500that's how (((((markets))))) work

>>109016608The answer to your picture is: deportation will fix it.
>>109016608if you ban cars you'll fix it :^)
mobile storage like in phones and tablets are superior
