VDURA and Phison donated $2,000 to support Atlanta families
HPC storage supplier VDURA (previously known as Panasas) and SSD manufacturer Phison recently partnered up at SC24 in Atlanta to answer that age of old question – how much data can “The Mountain” from Game of Thrones lift? (Don’t pretend for one second that you haven’t wondered that yourself).
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who played Ser Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane in GoT (and is probably best known for gouging out the eyes of Pedro Pascal’s character in a memorable, and gory, fight scene), lifted a record-setting 282.624PB of data, weighing 996 pounds (425kg).
