Big disks and crappy consoles

Samsung Electronics has unveiled a new solid state drive - and the drive, known as PM1633a, has a skyrocketing storage capacity. With a never-been-seen-before capacity of nearly 16 TB, the SSD is small enough to fit perfectly in your modern laptops and desktops. It is that small – only 6.35cm (2.5 inches). The SSD was introduced at the Flash Memory Summit in California. As per the reports, the drive is capable of storing the data of 15.36 TB, which makes it break the record set by Western Digital (only 10 TB of flash storage). This much storage is enough for an average of 4 million songs or thousands of HD movies. This may seem to be a lot, but when compared with those that are running on servers, the storage capacity is pretty small. However, if combined, the new 16 TB SSD from Samsung can help servers become even more compact for the high performance it achieves. As for the other details, the South Korean giant had no word about the price, availability, or speed of these drives. One of those drives would, however, be great for game saves on the latest knock-off video game system. You heard right - another Chinese company has managed to rip off all the gaming consoles, including the Xbox, PlayStation, and Ouya, at once. This new console has its name taken from the Ouya and has the design from the top two consoles in the world – PlayStation and Xbox One. This new rip off has been named as Ouye, and is currently being funded at the Chinese site Jd.com. Apart from this, the makers of this console are not convinced that this is a rip off of the existing consoles in the market. Instead, the Ouye’s creator claimed that their team has spent nearly six months in fine-tuning the design that sets them apart from all of the consoles in the market. My advice to you is don't buy one - it won't be compatible with your current video game collection. But I will consider one if they port some of my childhood favourites (including but not limited to Spyro) to it.
