Bring it on, I can never have enough storage! However, this drive is reportedly going to cost $7,000 when it is released, I'll wait for the price to drop a bit.

True that on the price, but it does offer a glimpse into the not so distant future of cheap drives.

Yep, that's still about 9x the price of equivalent storage on spinning drives.
