SanDisk Launches World's First 2.5" 4TB SSD

SanDisk Optimus MAX SAS SSD

There is no denying that SSD capacities have been steadily increasing with each generation of NAND improvements and with newer and newer controllers. But the holy grail has always been how much capacity can you fit into a 2.5″ drive since that is the most commonly used form factor for more enterprise drives nowadays.
