The jury's still out on it if it's 0.014lbs or 1400 lbs. Either way, you'll end up anchoring it to your desk, or your desk + floor will end up in the cellar. ;)

A 10 GHz DOS box???
With a 30 TB hard drive?

I'm hoping this is an April Fool's day joke.

I think the real joke here is that it's apparently made by ViewSonic.

The drive is possibly an EMC / StorageTek Iceburge array, though you'll need a small truck to move it about (not really portable) I'd give it a miss.
