Or for selling the user-created content entrusted to your company, to a company doing ML training. (The metal "briefcase" suggests doing it like an illicit trafficker exchange, maybe meeting in the middle of a bridge, or in an abandoned industrial site.)

They ship it to you, you fill it up (over S3 API for example) and send it back.

There's the "Snowcone", the "Snowball", and, for those really big transfers, the "Snowmobile".[2]

Keeping that truck around isn't exactly cheap either. I reckon it reached its technical or economic lifespan and simply isn't worth replacing.

Another option is to send whole computers. I’ve been sending NTFS disks (the Windows file system format), and not every Linux system can read NTFS. So lately I’m sending complete computers. We’re now into the 2-terabyte realm, so we can’t actually send a single disk; we need to send a bunch of disks. It’s convenient to send them packaged inside a metal box that just happens to have a processor in it. I know this sounds crazy—but you get an NFS or CIFS server and most people can just plug the thing into the wall and into the network and then copy the data.

It always amuses me reading old articles about things like data storage. These days you can get a 2TB SD card.

Who are you? What's your job? What kind of choices in life brought you to this point?

I really wonder, it's so alien.

This thing isn't going to be cheap, so you'd probably want a more frequent transfer to justify it. Maybe sneaker net database journals or backups every week?

Each Ethernet port is at 200 Gb, that is, 200 billion bits per second or about 20 billion bytes per second or 20 BBs.

Two such ports are 40 BBps

The 368 TB is 368,000 GB

So, the transmit time is at least

368,000 / ( 40 * 3600 ) = 2.556 hours

Sadly, I think part of the HDMI licence means you can't put analogue outputs on a device with a HDMI port after a certain year. (2014, I think. It was before then that I read that)

VGA capable displays ARE common where this thing will be used (racks, movie sets/studios, etc). Plus, those display outputs are for emergencies only as this will always be used headless all the time. You'll get your GUI video output from the thin client connected to that thing over the network.

>I'd expect displayport to be more likely to be added though.

Not in severs. You don't want to waste PCI-E lanes for driving a display output that will never be used and that server chip doesn't even have an iGPU anyway.

Plus, the VGA output is most likely only displays what the motherboard controller is doing and can't display the GUI of the OS running on the CPU.

Also, the VGA connector is miles more robust and fault tolerant than digital outputs where if the handshake fails you get no picture.

To you, it may seem like a very fancy computer that is made of pure unobtanium.

To a person running the X-ray machine, it's just another computer, and not too dissimilar from the thousands of other computers they've seen already this week.

we are actually in the process of building one, we have a doctor on board and we also have our first users.

Our goal is to create the most fantastic user experience for primary Care practitioners.

Our existing MVP uses AI to to speed up clinical documentation process using speech text to speech. Transcribing the conversation, summarizing it, generating a doctor's letter. We try to identify what actions the doctor recommended to the patients while talking to them. For instance, regenerate a laboratory referral in real time.

We are writing our yc application atm.

I can't see your email in your profile, but you should be able to see mine. I would love to talk to you.

Please drop me a message if you are still interested in building a new EMR.

200G switches are about the cost of a small car, but if your buying this thing that is probably not a showstopper:

Dual-port 10G/25G is fairly standard on servers these days, and SANs with multiple 100G ports aren't exactly rare either. I wouldn't be too surprised to see 200G or 400G ports on newer spine switches these days.

Seagate offers a similar solution but as a service.. Lyve. Their hardware uses "docking stations" and portable unit with storage.

As others have mentioned, Amazon has a similar device/service but it can be used only for transferring data into Amazon afaik.
