Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered

Resiliency dilemma. Which type of redundancy to choose.

“For personal users, this SSD can store 11,000 90-minute 4K movies,”
This is less useful than libraries of congress.
Honestly, that size of drive doesn't need a comparison. This isn't for your average user, so you don't need to dumb it down for them.

You're right. If I don't buy cheap shit, I won't get cheap shit. And since "made in China" is a byword for cheap shit, I try to avoid Chinese products.
My home was made in America. My car was assembled in America, and afaik, most of the parts came from Mexico and Japan. My microwave is Japanese. My shirt is from Taiwan. My computer is made from a ton of chips, Taiwan chip fabs. My tools are all made in America. I can go on.
Very little of what I have was made in China. Because China makes "cheap shit". Your words, not mine.
I try to avoid Chinese products
What are you using to talk to us right now? What kind of smartphone/tablet/desktop/laptop do you use?
I don’t think you’re trying to do shit. I think you’re just being a bigot and going off 90s style. I get it, the 90s are kind of cool again to folks, but being casually bigoted is still not ok. It wasn’t ok then and it’s not ok now.

Yeah really. It's been years since I saw a 90m movie.

Nearly every company in the world that has an international presence uses chinese parts somewhere. And no, you racist count, made in china is not a word for cheap shit, it's a word for made in a factory. You can't avoid chinese products at this stage of capitalism. Your made in japan microwave? It was assembled in japan. It was made in china hence why you can get the brand less version for half price on aliexpress.
Country labeling is a joke, wherever the final assembly takes place is where the label gets put on, specially because racists like you are too stupid to tell the difference and it sincerely hasn't mattered since before most people were born.
And you are stupid for not acknowledging that people from other countries are not just useless consumers without any agency. Americans and Europeans have industry too, and very productive ones. The narrative that you can trace any product back to China is entirely wrong and reeks of tankie.

'Chineese startup nobody has heard of.'
...am... I racist for immediately thinking scam? Like.. they shoved a couple thumb drives in a fancy case level of scam?

At this point, yeah, a bit. But it is a common racism to have right now, and the first step on the path to getting rid of it is knowing you have it.

finally, a drive big enough to hold a 4th AAA game

China does everything better than the US. iPhones are made in China.
Yeah, like slaves! America is so bad with slaves, we gave it up 150 years ago! But China, China is rolling the slaves! China perfected slavery!

I sincerely doubt that. And last I checked, most chip fabs were not in China. There's a lot in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. And there's plenty in damn near every western country. Even the Netherlands has a few.
You need to realize that countries other than China have industry.

the US constitution specifically has a carve-out that allows using prisoners as slaves

So what? China has slaves galore! A veritable slave emporium! A slave for every man woman and child. That is, if women had rights in China.

Make sure you make backups - it’s better to have multiple small drives in case of failure than one big, but in any case 3-2-1 backups!
I only 3-2-1 my photos and configs. No need to back up my Linux isos

There, now it isn't racist because that sounds like a scam without any additional details.

The west has spent a half century outsourcing their industry to feel like they've done any environmental work (and to lower wages). That has affected all industries, in all western countries.
Ever use anything with a pcb? Congrats it was partially made in china. Any industrial electrical components? Any microelectronics for non computational work? Hell most steel fab is in china. Half the us's packaged fruit travels through china for packaging.
Your owners and masters have spent a long time ruining domestic companies for the sake of profit. Don't take that out on chinese people, take it out on your owners and masters.

China has caught putting harware level vulnerabilities for decades now.
So there's probably backdoors in any Chinese hardware by now. But also in any western hardware.
It's just about who you want to send your data to.

You are about 20 years too late for any of this to make sense. China tech is on par with other countries now. It is still lower cost for bad reasons alot of the time, but good quality tech is readily available now. You don't have to go very far up from the absolute cheapest unit price to get to the quality either, but of course, it's the American way to always seek out the absolute cheapest product, quality be damned.
A "made in America" sticker also does not carry the meaning it used to 20 years ago either. You can get some of the shittiest cheap stuff "made in America", it just won't be the cheapest shitty stuff, despite being made locally to you, since the company still needs to make sure they are infinitely increasing profits forever...
The propaganda campaign for chinese goods not being scams just started this week dude, give it time and I'm sure the west will fall

Actually it is mostly the US that has been caught doing that. Not saying others don't do it but the US is the one who is bad enough at it to get caught regularly.

No because Chinese isn't a race its a nationality. If you used one of the races there like Han The predominate race there. than yes it would be racist. The Han are in face often refereed to has the real Chinese. But china is made up of many races not just the one.

Are you proud of being so incredibly ignorant of the world around you that all you can do is regurgitate dumb propaganda?
