The tech behind is greate, have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular_recording. I wonder how long till the magic 1TB is reached
Imaginge how much material of artistic nature, sarge could fit on that :eek:
Mmmm - terrabyte goodness
Don’t fancy backing that lot up; it is a lot to lose when it dies. Have to get several and RAID them.
yummm mirrors!
Only mirrors I use are the ones you put on a wall to see
mmm stack of DVD’s for that little lot…
and guess who relys on DVD’s? maybe that the more expensive option:p
Nice for a backup drive
Appears to me on the market :nod:
NewEgg currently has the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750GB ST3750640AS for $540, a cost per gigabyte of $0.72. Unfortunately, the PATA version of the same drive has not surfaced yet, and neither has the rest of the Barracuda 7200.10 family. *
Ooh, wonder how much it’ll be when it makes its way over here. Even if not cheepest per gig, am hoping it might push others down in price
That’s why you keep two separate systems connected through a network. I only add stuff to a couple folders on a regular basis anyways so you just backup those folders every weekend.
I haven’t had much luck with RAID. Of course I was using WD Raptors so that might explain part of it.:rolleyes:
Just been looking at HDs on Dabs… they’re listed :eek:
Following is current pricing for cheepest Seagate SATA at each capacity.
Size Cost cost/GB
750 314.99 0.42
500 186.12 0.37
400 157.45 0.39
300 76.93 0.26
250 59.33 0.24
200 55.00 0.28
160 45.27 0.28
120 39.56 0.33
80 34.45 0.43
So the 750GB drives are more for those who need maximum capacity in fewest drives, as mid size ones are best value.
