Will the OWC 16tb ssd drive work in the Nucleus?

That’s probably a question for @danny ,

They may have tested it. Certainly the Samsung 8Tb is OK and tested

Is this the drive you are referring to:
OWC ThunderBlade 16TB External SSD?

I believe a 16TB drive would give you a capacity of over 3 million songs. :exploding_head:

Physically, 7mm or 9mm for Nucleus Rev A, and up to 15mm for Nucleus Rev B. Capacity isn’t an issue, because the theoretical maximum (ext4) is crazy high.

6

Only problem is the drive cost is 2400! Cost of a Nucleus Plus!

Form factor is 2.5 inch 7mm

I’ve not tried anything bigger than 8TB, but I can’t think of anything that would break at 16TB.
