This is all nice but when it takes 3-weeks to check the volume or add a drive that’s gonna suck. With spinning media there’s a benefit to more smaller drives since you can read/write from many. I’m not saying I wouldn’t want these just that if I didn’t have petabytes of data I’d stick with more drives of smaller size. Unless of course their speed increases. Spinning media isn’t getting faster as quickly as it’s getting bigger. So. When your scrubbing or anything I would expect you could scrub 5x20tb a lot quicker than 1x100tb. So. As I see it. This is niche for me.
