Ah yes, I still remember the incident where BOTH our harddisk in RAID 1 went into read-only mode effective crashing the server and refusing to boot, for some odd reason it became impossible to back shit up so we only got the MySQL Data... God that was awesome.
I have 320GB in my main PC. 160GB in my secondary PC. 40GB in my old laptop and another 320GB in my new one. That's 840GB all up if that's how we are playing Not even 1TB I'm looking to get a 1TB network hard drive soon, just need the cash I just went and counted and I also have 300GB+ in OLD hard drives ranging from 4GB - 60GB.
1 TB drives are somehow pervert. Wherefor do you need so much dsikspace? When I imagine that some mainboards support up to eight sATA-drives, this would make something like this: 8 * (1,000,000,000,000 bytes / 1024 ** 3) = 8 * 931,32 GB = 7450,58 GB = 7,28 tB That's a fucking crazy amount. What you can store with this: -- About 800 movie-DVDs when they are all in format DVD-9 in original qualitry on your hdds OR -- About 10,600 audio-CDs as WAV OR -- Millions of roms *slobber*
Uncompressed video files take up about 3GB per minute, and it is essential that you use uncompressed files when editing video to minimise quality deterioration.
When I'm not wrong I read that movies in the 4k-resolution (a resolution for movies in cinemas that will be used in future) take up to one gB per second! That's fucking insane! Uncompressed files are always better, whether it's video, audio or photo.
The figure I gave was for PAL DVD resolution. NTSC will produce even larger files due to the higher framerate.
My computer with 19.0GB hard drive is almost full but my 180GB Laptop is still in good shape only half full.
i know people who have about 1.5tb or 2tb hd... they use two hard drives, though... and i know people who have computers capable of achieving some incredible 2gb with their video card... they use four 512mb video cards, though...
I need a new vid card. My 16mb video card is making me mad. I can't play Warhammer Dark Crusades or Fable.
holy shit!!!... my older pc has about 10 years and has a 8mb vid card... i suppose your pc's are relatively pretty new...
i can't believe it... i'm always telling my dad ''we need a new pc'' and such things, and i found a recent book saying the specs of a pc that won't get old quickly... guess what??... my pc has those specs...
I'm looking at getting a 3TB NAS to back up everything on my home network (about 6 computers) and to act as storage for my family's two media centres. It's just hard choosing between supreme storage and a car
A decent NAS can set you back a couple of thousand dollars - and so can a crappy car So yeah, I have to choose if I want to drive to uni or catch the bus
Didnt read the entire review. Read times must be terrible, not really worth it. Might aswell wait for a more feasible way to read data quickly on that scale. It will be a long time till solid state memory comes in large enough sizes to used as storage.
