The link doesn't work for me. Oh, and thanks for the reminder of news that was originaly announced over a month ago. They aren't even out yet. No release date set except Q1.

Buying the top of the line hard drives are not worth it. You can get THREE 500 GB (1.5 TB) drives for only $420 right now.

This news isn't that old. If you are rich, 5 Terabytes spread across only 5 discs for 2 grand is appealing.

I hadn't heard of this news, and didn't see any good articles on it on SW so I'm sure others missed it too.

I hope you don't think that everyone should have your opinion because you seem a bit too forthright.

What the fuck are you going to do with 640KB, sorry, 5TB, if you're a consumer? I have trouble filling 500GB as of now.


I wonder how long it'll take to saturate the 16 exabyte limit of 64-bit addressing, it took 10 years for 32 bit?

I'd rather see manufacturer's devote more R&D to producing faster solid state hard drives than expanding storage capacity. Most people will never fill up their current HD's. What people (especially the gamers) need are faster access times and transfer rates.

'meh', i'd be downloading everything i find and keeping it all stored and categorized on my personal PC, just because. that's what we call space-mania. i used to jizz thinking about the day i could own a terrabyte drive, and here we are only about 15 years later.

@Lancelot123

It's actually $419.97 if you get them from Newegg with the free three day shipping... and you are absolutely right, multiple drives is the way to go; better speed and they are safe from total failure (unless you have the worst luck in the universe and all three crash simultaneously).

@lance

There are very good reasons to pay more for a larger single drive, rather then stack up smaller drives.

For one the higher end large drives tend to have better tech, but the difference is small.

That aside lots of small drives consumes more power, create more noise, and generate more heat. This is extremely problematic when massing bulk storage. Even if you're just talking about home use I'd rather toss in 2 1tb drives into a media server raid it and go with it, then toss in 4 500gb drives in raid.

There is a market for these.

@CandaChris

Manufactures do make faster drives, it's called SCSI, and you can drop it into the desktop.

However there doesn't seem to be a gamers market for these. Since only high class workstation users seem to even care, I can't imagine it would be worth the time trying to market that kind of tech to gamers.

quincy0191Fuck You, Norton Antivirus
I’ve been having problems with Norton Antivirus for the past few weeks, mainly relating to an issue with the ccSvcHst.exe file, which has a tendency to eat one’s entire CPU on occasion, and for little reason. The LiveUpdate feature has some influence here; if it’s not run for an extended period, and when it is run and for a short time after, it causes ccSvcHst.exe to take up 80-100% of the processor’s capacity. This is a well-documented issue online, as a quick Goog...

quincy0191It's Gettin' Hot in Herre
Pretty much everyone’s heard about the evil/saintly hacker who stole/liberated thousands of emails from a server at the University of East Anglia in England. Most publicized is the use of the word “trick” by one of the scientists when referring to climate data that did not indicate warming; essentially, the individual wished to hide the fact that there was no warming during a given period, via “creative statistics” (my term, not theirs).Plenty of climate change skep...
