Sabrent is close to launching a massive capacity 16TB SSD for consumers

Faded Joke:  We do not permit promotions.  Moving this to PERSPECTIVES — Navy Vet. ‘

Larger capacity SSDs for the consumer market are coming, and not surprisingly, Sabrent is the driving force behind one of them—a 16TB model in the 2.5-inch form factor, with a SATA interface.

That essentially means the focus is more on capacity than it is speed. I suppose it’s just not feasible (yet) to cram 16TB of NAND flash memory onto an M.2 drive with an NVMe interface (as pictured above, because does not yet offer an 2.5-inch models). Nevertheless, compared to a mechanical HDD, even SATA SSDs offer a tangible and noticeable performance boost, from faster boot up times to even just smoother navigation in Windows. It’s really a night and day difference going from an HDD to an SSD, SATA or otherwise.

Sabrent told our friends at TechRadar that it is currently testing engineering samples of both enterprise and client (read: home consumer) versions of the 16TB drive, and expects to have finalized products ready for purchase in the very near future.
