As a gamer who has grown up admiring the incredible feats of strength demonstrated by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson both on screen and off, I must say that this recent stunt he pulled is nothing short of jaw-dropping. To deadlift nearly half a tonne of high-end SSDs, worth an estimated $32 million, is an achievement that leaves me in awe.
Actor from Game of Thrones, former World’s Strongest Man Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson demonstrates his strength yet again by hoisting almost half a ton of premium SSDs.
Known primarily for his portrayal of The Mountain Who Rides on HBO’s Game of Thrones, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson was also crowned World’s Strongest Man in 2019. Since the series ended, his path has been marked by some upheaval following criticisms about the hasty conclusion and accusations against HBO for spinning a tall tale.
Lately, Björnsson has shown interest in tech and gaming industries; openly expressing his fondness for CS:GO and revealing himself as a fan of Asmongold’s streams. His training regime remains unwavering, and judging by his recent high-energy marketing exploits, it seems he hasn’t lost his competitive spirit.
First reported by Tom’s Hardware, Björnsson teamed up with hard drive manufacturer Phison and data storage developer VDURA. He successfully lifted 996 pounds, which were Phison’s newest 128 terabyte Solid State Drives (SSDs). While this is not the heaviest deadlift on record, considering the price of these SSDs, it might be the most costly one.
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson lifts $32 million worth of SSDs
Phison’s 128 Terabyte SSD has not been released yet, but TechRadar predicts that it will be priced approximately $14,000 upon its launch. This estimation is derived from the cost-per-terabyte of similar products made by the same manufacturer and the general trend in the market, where SSDs are typically sold for between $0.04 to $0.09 per Terabyte.
Phison supplied 2,303 Solid State Drives (SSDs) for Björnsson to lift, but the main focus was on the 996-pound load and the massive 282 petabytes of data storage they offered. It’s possible that the cost of these items could set a new record.
If TechRadar’s estimate that each SSD costs around $14,000 is correct, then the total value of 2,303 of these SSDs would amount to a staggering $32,242,000. Unless someone has lifted an equivalent weight in gold or diamonds, it appears that Björnsson has performed the most expensive lift ever recorded in history.
Indeed, during the World’s Strongest Man competition in 2019, he managed to pull a massive aircraft weighing approximately 44,000 pounds, which is roughly equivalent to $250 million. However, it seems that such an expensive display of strength no longer holds the same allure for him now.
