There has been so many threads about block sizes and the impact that they would have etc.... Let's not go there now....

Just thought I would share this interesting article I read last night about Samsung's plans to provide internet to the masses.

According to the research published by Khan this week, Samsung would create a "Space Internet" system. In this system, Zetabyte/ month capacity would be provided, equivalent to 200GB/month for 5-billion users around the world.

So that will sort out our bandwidth problem, hopefully. They also launched the worlds biggest hard drive of 16TB, guess you've all seen this already as it has been posted on the forum already....

...Samsung has unveiled what appears to be the world's largest hard drive—and somewhat surprisingly, it uses NAND flash chips rather than spinning platters. The rather boringly named PM1633a, which is being targeted at the enterprise market, manages to cram almost 16 terabytes into a 2.5-inch SSD package.

So both bandwidth and storage space sorted [one day], now bring on those 100MB blocks...  Grin
