RE: Mainframe disk space -- Not technically backward, rather financially punishing. Mainframe disk storage costs high-multiple orders of magnitude more than server-grade multi-terabyte SSD's. Yes, better reliability (RAS in general) should cost more, but that much more?

This discussion focuses on lack of space to store tens of gigabytes. Outside the z world that comes for a few hours' pah and fits in a shirt pocket.
