Seagate's LaCie external storage drives unit has come up with a video editing workstation user's wet dream: 96TB capacity and 2.6GB/sec throughput from a Thunderbolt 3-accessed desktop tower.

The 12big Thunderbolt product features:

12 drives bays and 8TB, 7200rpm drive support
RAID 5 and 6 support from RAID hardware controller
Thunderbolt 3 IO running at 40Gbit/s
2,600MB/sec bandwidth (2,400MB/sec with RAID 5)
256MB cache
Four thermo-regulated fans
Included USB-C to USB-A cable
Front drive status LEDs for drive health and RAID build status

The Seagate drives are built for 24/7 operation; 8,760 hours a year, and the system comes with a five year warranty.

Pricing is unlikely to be cheap.

I don't care! I want one of these! Next beer run I'll buy a lotto ticket. :)

That would also be my only chance.

woooooooooo

yea if you thought storing raw 1080 was getting unruly, 4k will make your jaw drop. These pro video doods drop some MAJOR $$$ on data storage...then often after a project is done, its off to the archive vault... TIME TO BUY NEW DRIVES! :-O
