    “Once reserved primarily for archival use, large-scale data lakes are
    now asked to support increasingly active workloads. New AI applications, analytics pipelines, and emerging digital services are driving up the “temperature” of previously considered cold data. The result is a
    growing middle ground, where data is accessed too frequently for HDDs to handle efficiently, but not hot enough to warrant the cost of
    performance SSDs. E2 is a new flash form factor to address this emerging “warm” storage tier. It is designed to bridge the gap between high-capacity hard drives and traditional enterprise SSDs, offering a
    more practical balance of performance, density, and cost.”

    A freaking petabyte hard drive in SSD format !

    The E2 form factor is new to me. I don't have anything that can use it,
    but then this much storage isn't really targeted to consumers anyway. At
    this point, I'd be more interested in picking up a pair of something
    much smaller and much less expensive, like 100TB or so, only 10% of this
    beast.
