Here is the X24 blade immersed.

so a DataTank holds 50 of x24s? 24*10Gh*50= ~12000-13200 Gh/s or 12-13.2 Th/s if my math is right?
this needs 10200-11880 Watts of power?  (100 amps? @120V)
how much is a DataTank? when is it available for purchase etc...?

The current understanding is that DataTanks cannot be purchased independently. Rather, they are in groups of six per shipping container. Based off of this document (on pg 9-10), here are the supposed specifications:

Example 2.4PH 1.2MW Mining Container (ASICMiner Gen3)

● 6 tanks per container, 200kW-240kW each
● 400 boards each tank, 500W per board, 2,400 boards total
● Equivalent to 600 4U boxes
● Shipping container footprint instead of 60 racks in high density facility
● 2-3PH/s at estimated hashrate (based on reports from China24)
● No thermal throttling, possible performance increase to be tested with actual hardware
● Fixed and predictable cost, no matter if fully or only partially populated

This option for high density mining will be aimed more towards franchisees, who have access to both the funds and electricity to maintain it.
