It looks like they don’t offer power loss protection on this device. Probably too much NAND to cover with supercaps. Also, with a unit this dense with NAND I have concerns over heat management. The unit does have thermal throttling but I have to wonder how badly performance is affected when these are ridden hard in an enterprise environment.

In reply to Colin Stuart. The Samsung 16TB PM1633a is not yet available for sale -- Fixstars is already taking orders for the SSD-13000M. So yes it is the world's largest than can actually currently be purchased.
