Micron's new 15TB SSD is almost affordable

Micron’s latest enterprise SSD, the 9300 Pro, is now available for sale in Germany, at a price lower than what might be expected. 

The 15.36TB drive, which is a smidgen smaller in capacity than the largest hard disk drive currently on the market (a 16TB Toshiba HDD model), costs “only” €2.474,78 plus sales tax or around $2,770 (about £2,140). 

While that is far more expensive than smaller capacity SSDs (Silicon Power’s 1TB SSD retails for under $95 at Amazon), it is less than half the average price of competing enterprise SSDs like the Seagate Nytro 3330, the Western Digital Ultrastar DC SS530, the Toshiba PM5-R or the Samsung SSD PM1633a. 

HDD still wins the price/capacity comparison

And just for the comparison, a 14TB hard disk drive, the MG07 from Toshiba, retails for around $440, about a sixth of the price, which gives you an idea of the price gulf between the two. If you are looking for something bigger, then the Samsung SSD PM1643 is probably your only bet at €7294.22 excluding VAT.

Bear in mind that these are 2.5-inch models which are far smaller than 3.5-inch hard disk drives. They also connect to the host computer using a special connector called SAS (Serial Attached Small Computer System Interface). The Micron 9300 Pro connects via the U.2 PCIe (NVMe), offering read speeds of up to 3.5GBps.

For the ultimate data hoarder, there’s the Nimbusdata Exadrive which boasts a capacity of 100TB albeit in a 3.5-inch form factor.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore points  in the System Volume

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i
