It&#x27;s not great at the bottom end, either: 64TB raw for $96,000<p>Get a 24 x 2.5&quot; 2U server, 3 8 channel SAS controllers, and 24 1 TB SATA SSDs. $15k or so will buy that. 3 of them are 72TB for $45K, so less than half the price, and certainly capable of saturating any network you can afford to run.
Of course, if you just need 24TB, you can just buy one of the smaller machines.<p>You can fit it in one 4U machine with 72 x 2.5&quot; disks for less money, but also less disk I&#x2F;O, CPU, RAM and network bandwidth.<p>Is this &quot;Big Data&quot;? No, but neither was their 64TB config.
