tweaktown.com — Need more storage? HighPoint RocketRAID 2340 controller supports up to 16 hard drives and a whooping total of 12,000GB. We have posted a full review of the product but the $500 USD asking price might scare some people away.

HD Pron would fill up a normal hard drive with just a few movies

"gives you the ability to store at least a -- whooping -- 12,000 gigabytes of data"Lol, I think you meant whopping ;)

Ain't getting "Quad HD" on current film stock. They might make a Quad HD digital camera, but all the old/current film movies top out at 2k or 4k scans. At the 2.39:1 ratio, 2k is 2048 × 858 and 4k is just 4096 × 1714. When we hit those size streams, encoding will be at a similar evolutionary point and we will likely need no more room than a 1080p stream on current codecs.

I for one welcome our new RAID overlords.

You don't have any kind of clue. I have a server that has 12 SATA drives (a total of 3.62 Terabytes). One partition (of 2) is already 62% full. We store massive amounts of scanned images (company paper documents).

Is "whooping" anything like "whopping"?
