1 tb is a good start for most use case. 5 tb..? now you're getting somewhere.

Registers

You're talking about register width, right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, 5TB for every register of course.

But something could easily go wrong with such large registers & access would be slow. Maybe we should have RAID 1 for registers?

I only ever opt for RAID 5. It also help to use error correcting hardware.

ECC cache

For such large registers, I think error correction for the error correction might be useful.
