Game of Thrones actor and former World's Strongest Man Hafþór Björnsson has hoisted 996 lbs, 283 Petabytes, and about $32 million worth of next-gen SSDs in what has to be the most expensive deadlift in history
First reported by Tom's Hardware, Icelandic strongman Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson—who won the 2019 World's Strongest Man competition and played Gregor «The Mountain» Clegane in Game of Thrones—has completed a 996 lbs "deadlift of data," hoisting thousands of next-generation, 128 terabyte SSDs at the SD24 computing conference. With each drive likely to command north of $10,000 once they come to market, this has to be the most expensive deadlift ever performed.
