Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I don't think consumer grade 16TB SSDs exist. At least not as a single module. Do they?
It's a comic.
And if you think that is going to stop me from nitpicking, you're sorely mistaken! 😤
It stood out to me because the rest of the specs are realistic-ish (if we consider that to be 32GB of RAM).
8TB M.2 SSDs are a thing and you can fit 4 into many high-end motherboards. You can even put them into RAID 0 if you want them to look as a single drive in the OS. Comic does not claim it is a single module.
Ok, so you confirm that I'm not mistaken and you can't currently have a single module 16TB SSD? AFAIK, even 8TB is pushing it.
And I treat it as a single module in the comic because it says "16TB SSD" singular, as opposed to something like "16TB worth of SSDs".
You can get 16TB, or even more, but not consumer grade, I can confirm that. But I have seen MSI laptops with 2 SSDs in RAID 0 advertised as one number singular in summary, just like in the comic, since it makes no difference to the user.
Funnily enough, the weirder part is actually 25TB HDD. There are 24TB HDDs and even 26TB HDDs but to my knowledge, there is no single module 25TB HDD. And with that capacity, it can't even be any reasonable RAID setup. The only factorization is 5x5 and 5TB HDD are also not really a thing. That number is the nonsensical one.
Also, who the hell measures RAM size in gigabits?
People who don't understand the difference between GB and Gb.
ISPs?
