3 Yrs warranty is going to turn off a lot of buyers. Hell they price there 1 gig SSD at $980.00 USD so what the price going to be at 6 gigs. With there pricing they need to jump out with at least a 5 yrs warranty.

In reply to renosablast. How do you explain the capacity increase then ? I highly doubt they actually managed to make a controller, that can adress so much space. Their previous 3TB drive used 64GB eMMC and FPGA to get that, so there is no reason this is using something else. Its most likley the same setup, but using 128GB emmc packages instead.

In reply to Benjamin Hojnik. They list Toshiba as a business partner,and Toshiba does make 15nm eMMC NAND.

Couldn’t find any mention of power fail protection. No supercaps on this baby. Curious to see how it’s priced. I think people who want 6TB would really like it on a NVMe card.
