Hitachi Unvails 1 Terabyte Hard Drive

[chaminga_d]

New ground has been broken in the hard drive industry with the release of Hitachi's 1 terabyte hard drive featuring perpendicular recording. The hard drive company has also discussed the idea of a new kind of HD/flash memory hybrid. Hard drives in the future would have flash memory built in that would protect the device from data loss by housing all the information the system calls on the most. This will reduce disk use, increase longevity, and may perhaps even increase performance in the future.

Hitachi has unveiled a drive which has reached the new heights of one terabyte. Its drive looks like any other, but uses perpendicular magnetic recording to make space for all that data. "The previous generation of recording technology was called longitudinal and it basically recorded the bits laying down, now we're recording the bits standing up," said Kelly O'Sullivan from Hitachi. "So if you think of it that way, you're stacking a lot more data in a shorter area, therefore you get a terabyte."

Anyways, I wonder if they will ever get to the price level of a typical 250GB these days (i.e. ~Rs.9,000). Hopefully I will be able to hold my needed till then.

Ask your brother to bring one. Come on, how can you be so desperate when you have such a great source :rolleyes:

[zCexVe]

1 TB = 4x250 GB.Both in price and size.So there rnt any matters for the ppl who can afford and want 1 TB.

But there are two things you have to consider...
1. 4x250GB will decrease the probability of losing data in a hard drive crash by 4 times.
2. But 4x250GB will use 4 SATA ports. You won't be able to install another one if you ever need to expand the storage capacity and/or mount a hard drive temporarily, unless you are lucky enough to have a motherboard with more than 4 SATA ports.

this source has its limitations heheh.... could ask him for an 80 though.... then with my 40 .. ill have 120.. hmmm sounds gud! heheh:D

Sounds good? The total is not even half of 250GB ne? :rolleyes:

[lasanka]

ya it isnt but i got to thinkin im usin 40 and i have a bit left still so if i get 3 times this i should be able to manage ya?

If we going to use HDD with RAID 4x250GB will be much useful...

I'm not so sure.

That's true. But which RAID? RAID-0 will be faster than single drive, but not safe. Higher RAID versions will reduce the total capacity in the end.

RAID 0 or RAID 1....

[Anusha]

RAID 0 or RAID 1....
RAID-1 will use mirroring, so it will only show half of the total capacity of the drives.

[lasanka]

woh raid 1 and raid 2...

Ive got 6 SATA 2 so no prob.4 with RAID 0/1/0+1/RAID5 and two with RAID 0/1.So no prob there too.BTW prob is I,ve got no 4 HDDs.
