The Dawn of the Tera Era

[bobctx]

ME Too I HAVE 3.5 INCHES OF HARD DRIVE Hitachi Desk Star 7200 rpm 32mb caches!

[fergoway2go]

someones trippin ballz

[ClamCrunchy]

Man, what were the Japs smoking when they made this?

[mossing234]

slow down maybe but i can say that i will buy a petabyte drive

[Aerolfos]

to the people who say the storage trend will slow down: there are ways of storing info that they are working on. Examples are solid-state drives (which are fast but low capacity) and the fabled "Memristor drives" which apparently promise like 100 GB per square cm or something. as well as the new spintronics and whatever else.

I still laugh back when two-foot diameter HDDs gave you like 500kb of storage lol.

[Mortumforte]

@Aerolfos:

Yeah, i too can remember when i had a Commodore PC10-II with a 5MB HDD upgrade. That was 2 x 5,25" form factor.

Anyways i am happy with nowadays computers. ^_^

[kittyonatightrope]

Can someone say acid trip?

I copied this....

im random!XD

this is cool in a really weird.

[54spiritedwill54]

This video is classic.

[SexiiTime07]

HAHA MY NAME IS TERA!!! haha

[dochmbi]

If progress continues the same way, in 2023 the Peta Era will begin. Then in 2038, the Exa Era :)

[lostinaparadox]

actually scientists are predicting a petabyte drive by the end of 2010

[HeroofTime55]

A goddamn EB, 1000000 TB.... No, I'm predicting the storage capacities are going to slow down. The technology will exist, but it will most likely be used to make smaller drives rather than massive capacity ones.

I'd be shocked to see even a 1PB drive available for general consumers. Ultra-high-capacity drives will probably used mostly for scientific research or other specialized fields.

[funyun2]

WHOA! That's a lot of storage!

[DisturbinglyAmazing]

SAME HERE!!!

[Inmate527]

What the fuck is this shit?

[obts10]

this is some trippy shit...brilliant though.

[KawaiiKitii]

Can someone say acid trip?

[raid517]

Is this a cult? can I join?

[ShockageSWG]

rofl

[TPhreak]

Our great grand children will watch this and laugh their asses off.

[Dinogizer]

Lol a terabyte of space for the advertising company to store ideas and this is what they come up with?

[bramwellt]

Oh great... I think I'm gay now.

[freaky108]

stoners rejoice.

[hondatech2o9nick]

wow wtf, this is so much more interesting to watch when yur fukin blazed!

[nuketheglaciers]

If I buy a terabyte hard drive from Hitachi do I get free LSD with it?

[wackdeafboy]

lol

HE TRIPPIN BALLS!!!!

[deathbydanish]

My buddy is drunk and high and says this more like for people on acid.

[LegendaryE22]

Guitar in drag.. XD

[gregorypierce]

Hitachi, why the hell do you keep making these videos?

[79zombies]

Oh, that so remembers me of a Thursday afternoon I spent in a park in Amsterdam. Good times!

[Zanrook]

I've been enjoy my 1tb for a year, I'm planning on buying a couple hundred more!

Lets hear it for torrenting!

[djwhiplash]

I think I...umm...What the hell...Jesus H that was a fun ride!

[pepupapi]

What... the... ef...

[danmazkin]

duuuude..

[OlafTheBarbarian]

Wooow man .. im freakin out

[Skarvig]

I'm drunk and this is so totally funny.

[Attilaq]

Thats cool, reminded me of Towelie from South Park

[macguy112]

Are they advertising hard drives or acid?

[suckithardnfast]

AWESOME. someone go get my acid so i can fully enjoy this video

[v1ryus]

ROFLLLLLLLLLLLMAO

[Kapprika]

That's such an awesome video. So fun and ... psychedelic.

[RA1N175]

its an infomercial for stoners XD

[Reous222]

if i watched this when i was high i would prolly thing god was sending a message to me saying kill myself. i dont know why thats just how i feel

[noapparentfunction]

I like how Hitatchi couldn't get any women to sing for their cartoons.

[apeguero]

My eyes serioulsy hurt now. And what the F was protruding out of the Sun's face?

[rentaslut]

It looks like it's a solar flare.

Such large flares only occur a few times within a year or two of the maximum in solar activity that occurs every 11 years or so, with the last maximum in 1989. (Where it pretty much knocked out our communications grid) The next one could totally fry us.

[saltygary]

OMG my face is melting.

[cebperry]

I don't really care about storage anymore. I care about bandwidth. I don't need to store my media locally. That's just a hassle. I don't want to be a librarian. I just want to check stuff out when I want it.

[rentaslut]

This video is classic.

[gtfokids]

Quite disturbing.

[jjpjimmy]

@ 1:50, why does the hand come out from the star? Why does it do that? Why?

[ouchjeez]

wtf!>?!?!? Call the drug squad!!

[blaktornado]

awesome

[bostontx]

I feel a strange desire to buy a terrabyte hard drive to store 300 copies of "Dazed & Confused" on

[kaiban42]

wtf .... im not sure what im suppose to do after watching this .... writhe on the floor in pain?

[megamix]

Can you please gives us a HDD that really has 1 terabyte. Because 1 terabyte is 1024GB and what's even worse, is that because of the flawed counting of bytes, "1TB" hard drives actually have 930GB.

[nihilo9]

No.

They can't.

That's just how the numbers run.

And it's not "flawed counting".

It's actually highly mathematical counting.

1TB drives have 930 GB available space because of the need to format.

FAIL.

[AssA2k1]

actually... you FAIL...

1TB drive have 1000GB space...

as Giga is an SI prefix which is based on 10... and represents exactly 1 Billion.

unlike what YOU mean which would be 1TiB... notice the "i" which comes from the binary prefix Tebi... which is based on 2 and represents 1073741824.

So if you divide 1 Trillion (1TB) by 1GiB you'll land at about 931GiB...

[nihilo9]

that's exactly what I said, but with less math.

three cheers for efficiency and a straight-forward answer.

[AssA2k1]

uh... no you didn't :P

it's not 930GB... it's still 1TB... and it's not because the drive needs to be formated... it's because the industry is stuck in the way they began... counting in decimal...

[nihilo9]

Ah... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that it needed to be formatted.

And it's because the industry is stuck in the way they began... counting in binary. Not decimal.

Small errors either way.

Thank you :)

[AssA2k1]

actually they counted in decimal at the beginning... there were also "decimal computers"... that is why we have these "counting errors" today ;)

[nihilo9]

this is going to be so great when I'm laughing about this in a couple of years with my 50 TB hard drive.

[MercadorHG]

Actually, in 18 months ;)

[nihilo9]

crud.

I knew it couldn't be too far away...

curse the tech curve.

[nutriapeluda]

I just can't stop playing this X_x

[stretta]

Holy crap.

[10handz]

If I owned a multi-billion dollar company, this is exactly the kind of video I would produce. I'm really impressed by the story.

[h1timmboy]

Wow. I don't know what to say to that.

[dezeinstein]

Ter-acid?

[SameerSG]

WTF ???

[Kittycat208a]

Oh mein Gott xD

Jetzt wird Werbung von den Herstellern schon auf Youtube gehostet...

Naja was soll man tun?
