"As a result, where a disk drive might need a terabyte of capacity to store a terabyte of data, FlashArray can save that same data in a fraction of the space." This is unfair. There is no reason why I cant have…
If you are near a larger city, I would look into colocation hosting. Buy the hardware up front, and get some big disks. RAID or ZFS for redundancy.
Raid 0 on 6TB is a terrifying prospect.
My rough guess places it between FPGA implementations and GPU rigs. The only problem is producing the code. FPGAs and (probably) these are harder to manage and set up but will yield better results per dollar and Watt.
