    Wen said the new disks could someday allow individuals and families to set up their own databases with minimal fuss.

    Great news for data hoarders. One day!

      I’d be a little paranoid having all my data on one disk. One bad disk crash and its all gone. I’d have to have at least two to make a backup.

        Always practice 3-2-1 if you really want to be safe. 3 copies, 2 different mediums, 1 off-site.

          That’s the ideal of course. In practice you can’t always be that thorough.

          Redundant copies are a good thing to have if you’re interested in preserving data long term.

      I know this is you joking but for anyone unaware I imagine the read/write speeds are much much lower than NVMe SSDs so this would be bad to play games on comparatively

    Uh, yeah. But have you considered that China can’t access Superior Western Microchip Technology™? So this is impossible! Checkmate, tankies!
