[the731272]

[MegaWingcommander]

These days people want moreand more disk space i wonder why. Back in history they flew with a few KB to the moon

[mmoouurraadd]

#LoL

[dmana3172]

Seagate or Western Digital. Not sure which one rules.

[piperbob2]

Warning - do not put all your eggs in one basket!! (i.e. if your hard drive fails, you lose everything! and the bigger the capacity, the more you can lose.)

[sxephlI]

@piperbob2 good point. two 500's are perfect.

[FlentMan]

their is a 2tb drive like that

[gtr500able]

[mupet0000]

85 hours before failure, thats right!

[21boxhead]

Samsung F3 outperforms all Caviar Blacks even 64mb version!

History of hard disk drives (WIKI)

1980 - The world's first gigabyte-capacity disk drive, size of a refrigerator, weighed 550 pounds, $40,000

2002 - 137 GB

2005 - First 500 GB

2006 - First 750 GB

2007 - First 1 TB

2008 - First 1.5 TB

2009 - First 2.0 TB and as of April 2010 they cost approx. $140

BIG Difference in 8 years! Wonder where we will be by 2015 or 2020?

I can't wait for 10-20TB Storage! I have 13-14TB of blank discs (approx 3000)...It would be nice to have it all on 1 drive.

[Wilber719]

@janX9 hope someone makes a yottabyte that will be epic :O

[janX9]

@Wilber719 No doubt, you could fit the whole internet on it #LOL

I'll take 2

...it's good to have a backup.

[spichka1]

1,099,511,627,776 bytes = 1 TB. CAN U EVEN HAVE THAT MUCH SPACE ON YOUR COMPUTER?????????????? holy shit.

[thatstek]

[thatstek]

Too much pr0n :P

[xCrispo]

who need that much place on a hard drive? just for fun?

[jimmyclerk]

I said that about my 2GB hard disc back in 1998!

[misterchuckle]

one thing about storage space dude...you can never have enough of it.

[PerAnkan]

dont kno wat terabyte is but i tink dat is big

worst comment EVEEEEEEEEER

[xCrispo]

a terrabyte is 1000 GB

[Eirwan95]

terabyte is a thousand gig...1TB = 1000GB

[STOPTHEEU]

1024 GB = 1TB

;-)

[Eirwan95]

lol...

[Whiteoverblue]

1Tm = 1,000,000,000,000meters, or 1000Gm.

Why should that be different with bytes?

[STOPTHEEU]

It depends what base system you use. However its never going to be exactly the same as the generic metric measurements because one byte is either four bits or eight bits (generally eight) and it cant be more because the sum has to add up to 256. I.e 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 Lets say I want to write my age in binary! :21 right to left first number to fit in 21? 16 so 16+4+1 10101000 Understand?

[Whiteoverblue]

I see now.

Although I still have a lot o understand about the binary system myself.

Thanks for the info

[STOPTHEEU]

Binary can get complicated but the principle itself is very simple Remember in school you have a light bulb and a battery and two wires? one wire connected so its on 1=on one wire disconnected so its off 0=off Bulb is obviously off so.... so in binary 1+0 = 0 (bulb off) both wires connected.... 1+1=1 (bulb on) Binary is everywhere in life! Even our bodys! Traffic lights for example! It gets complicated but starts of sooo sooo simple!! :D

[tazerfire]

you got ripped off.

[Pr0H4ck3rVids]

1649267441664 bytes = 1.5 terabytes

[xerolalala]

If a terabyte is measured in bytes its

1,000,000,000,000

Amazing

A 1.5 is

1,500,000,000,000

[jambozx]

not true, because 1kb is 1024 bytes and so...

[tazerfire]

actually NOPE, because 1mb isnt  1000kb, 1mb = 1024kb

[arrowcarver]

...i saw in gamermag a computer with something like 21 thousand gigs

[camboy1132]

this Item was at costco. the drives broke with in 3 time use. it rated 2 or 3 star. the drive went aol with 100s of people.

[kawaiiultraneo]

Western digital has a 2TB HD!

So.. you can forget the 1.5TB

[ddrfreak2002]

anyone want to tell me HOW to format this bitch. i got a 1.5tb and CANT format the whole thing. i partitioned it and i get 1022.80 gigs that i can format and use and then 374.46 of storage that just sits there and i cant format it.

[xboredofbordemx]

i meant to say 1280 gigabytes

[xboredofbordemx]

and thats not that hard i have 1.280 gigabytes in my computer?

[DavidMaiStudio]

terabyte is 1000 gigabytes

[rez53210]

If you wanna get into correcting it's not 1000 gigabytes its actually 1024 gigabytes.

[Messerschmitt262a2a]

hitachi wants to produce hard drives with more than 2tb

[umahuma4]

omg!!!! terabyte hard drives, who even needs that much storage space

[PsychologyGame]

umahuma: that's what we all said 30 years ago when 512kb of memory on your C64 was more than enough. A couple of years later a 50MB HD was a lot, it'll keep growing like that ;)

I have a 750GB HD, and it's really too small for me (I do a lot of visual work)

[Eirwan95]

shut up stupid kid...

[littleohah]

ME!!!! if you look at my pc i have over 5tbs loaded in it and all the drives are nerly full i have 4 1tb sata drive and a 350gb ide and two 500gb usb external drives and i have about 500 gigs free i like films and games the curse is downloading tv shows and get the whole show

[lokito919]

more storage!!! more porno!!!

[rmellis]

lol

[lordkitty69]

dude mac has a 4terabyte hard drive

[Rezin8u]

To be quite honest,

1 - MAC does not manufature HDD

2 - Open your PC

3 - Touch the cable while powered

4 - Realize that you do not know what you are talking about

[jasa00]

Thats a RAID Confi THough is it not?

4x 1tb hard drives in Raid 5 or somat

[wcchalo]

mac is for pussy ass faggots

[metalero19882]

fouth hundred fifty grand!

[jasa00]

no he didnt. he said $450

In Scotland i can pick up a Samsung 1terabyte hard drive for 80 pounds. thats about 140 Dollars

[Rezin8u]

Actually, the price currently in South Africa on the 1.5TB drive is R2399 ($266)& the 1TB is retailing for approx. R1499 ($166) however, this is on Seagate, they are little more expensive than Samsung..

[gre3kboy77]
