HDD model

[heyandy889]

@bartoszbudecki1 11001100 There's nothing "in" 8 bits. A bit is the smallest unit of information. True, false, one, zero, on, off.

It's not that useful to toggle bits, so instead, we work with their larger cousin, the byte.

[Le0nLucky]

Umm what is it meant to do???? It's doing nothing.

[RevolvoDoOr]

It Took 4 Years to Boot Up into Windows XP! now try and move the mouse...

[lordofthebasses13]

If you put this in a sort of case, take the usb module and hard drive out of an external hard drive and hide it underneath the model, then use the light sensor to control on and off whenever the read/write light comes on, and you have made it functional in a way.

This is fail

[mannsi08]

i think the hdd turns wrong way

[atoms97]

10000 rpm !

[BOTTeamOfficial]

1PB Disk Space, 200TB Transfer Rate, 2gb Cache, SATA-6 =)

[Stickguy7]

OMG...1 PB is 1000 TB which is also 1,000,000 GB which is also 1,000,000,000 MB which is also 1,000,000,000,000 KB which is also 1,000,000,000,000,000 Bytes!!!

[Stickguy7]

@josipov Oh i forgot about that. I keep forgeting its 1024 for the amount not 1000. Thank you for pointing that out.

[josipov]

@Stickguy7

Your velcome.

and sorry for "tard" :)

[Dant2142]

@Stickguy7 Unfortunately, HDD manufactures think that it's 1000 for each conversion though, so they don't have their actual advertized capacity.

[josipov]

@Stickguy7 OMG you tard...

1 PB = 1024 TB = 1048576 GB = 1073741824 MB = 1099511627776 KB = 1125899906842624 Bytes = 9007199254740992 bits!

headcrash

[Wichtelchen2006]

6 bit xD

[FlipidusX]

Great! 10TB Disk space, 512 MB Cache, SATA-4 xDDD

[Dth091]

I made one that read off a disc with different shades of gray.. but then the internal speaker of my NXT died.

D:

[ericvanhallen]

it has potential but needs more memory.

keep trying

[Username93611]

looks a lot more like a record player...

[deaftodd]

not even one byte of memory

[RussNinjaassassin]

@deaftodd it is, 6 black ones and 6 white, means 12bit, its about 1.5byte..

[Colobotwymiata]

@deaftodd

Make better.

[web1bastler]

@deaftodd but already 6 bits

[rossyallen2]

@deaftodd wouldn't that work out as 6 bytes? its got six black lines which is six on/offs and 6 1/0's

forgive me if my view on bytes is incorrect.

[matzo33333]

@rossyallen2 you're thinking of bits. there are 8 bits in a byte.

[SilverLugia32]

@deaftodd

It *can* be one byte, it just depends on what computer.

Usually a byte is 8-bits.

[DoomTay]

Can it work like a real hard drive?

[MacJARedd]

Yeah. But that wouldn't be even one byte of memory as deaftodd says above your comment.

[rudolphna54]

Slow HD... Wont catch me using that in mine.. Haha I kid I kid. Nice model. Now just spin it up to 7200RPM and enable 12MS random access times lol

[15623mike]

Where the 5000 RPM hard drive ages go? :P

[hoolymakeral]

CLICK OF DEATH!!!!

[trevmister8]

I don't get it... What is it doing?

[hectorr0]

its acting like a coumuter hardrive, only those usulay have more disks, and the head is smaller. can be useful to explain how a hhd (HadrDiskDrive, or someting like that) works
