    Re: Who has a storgeage festish?

    Although additional capacities are still achievable, the drive industry is in the process of moving to perpendicular recording technology as longitudinal recording has basically hit the proverbial brick wall after being utilized for 50 plus years.

    Perpendicular recording will eventually enable areal densities of up to 500 Gbpsi (Gigabits per square inch) with current technology as compared to 110 Gbpsi rates in today's longitudinal recording designs. This results in an almost five fold increase in storage capacities with a typical 3.5-inch desktop drive being able to store 2TB of information in the near future.
    taken from here... AnandTech: Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000: Terabyte Storage arrives on the Desktop


    basically - current tech can't get any bigger than it is now, maybe one more jump to 2TB, but then they'll have to switch to a different way of recording it..

    going to get 2 1TB hitachis when i upgrade, for no other reason than i've had 4 hitachi hard drives and the only reason 2 failed is because i knackered them myself.. incorrect defrag and restarting PC half way through.. and also dropping one and running it over wuth my chair..

    So if a company has a massive amount of data stored somewhere...would they just have a shed load of 1TB disks? or do they have something bigger and better?

    Re: Who has a storgeage festish?

    i would think a shedload of harddrives.. just had a quick look at scan in their server section, and they have 2u server chasis that hold 6 hard drives each.. so get a load of those with 6 x 1TB and you end up with this..



    i imagine HEXUS servers look tidier than that, don't they?

    i estimate at least 300 2u chasis - so 300x6 = 1800TB, and thats the ones you can see in the picture...


    *awaits server technician to correct above theory*

    Re: Who has a storgeage festish?

    When I bought my first PC it too had a 40Mb drive - twice the size of the norm at that time. I did fill it (although only after my next upgrade) and every other HDD until the last few years. Only dedicated downloaders are going to fill today's disks.

    You can get better densities than that. You can get 3u disk shelves that hold 14 3.5" disks eack

    Yeah, when plus net started capping and shaping is when I left them.
    Be have been the best isp I've had for speed and limits, but when I moved we were too far away from the exchange (something I'll check next time before I move) so am now with an enta reseller.
    No complaints, just wish it were faster.

    Back on to the subject at hand.

    Re: Who has a storgeage festish?

    tbh, that's pretty tidy for a server room

    btw, I hope all those downloads are nice legal freeware, or other legally appropriated content
