100 Terabyte Exadrive SSD Also Has Biggest Price

The biggest solid state drive (SSD) in the world is the Nimbus Exadrive, featuring 100 terabytes of storage, which should hold all of your science fiction novels. Yes, even you.

The price? just $40,000. If you're ordering online, be sure to get the EDDCT100/EDDCS100.

Just for fun, take a look at what NASA could do with one of these babies.

Science fiction authors glommed onto the massive storage bandwagon early on. See the Schrön Loop from Hyperion (1989) by Dan Simmons and the Welton Cube from Time Enough for Love (1973) by Robert Heinlein for examples.
