Capacity of what?

I think this is the wrong forum for this anyway.

**schmunk** · 13-01-2006, 07:09 PM

I imagine it's not the largest though...

Well:
The largest capacity dam is the Itaipu and the largest capacity washing machines are the panasonic NA-W1350T and NA-W1300T

Sorry for making a point like this, but we haven't a clue what you mean. I don't even know what the link you posted has to do with the word 'capacity'...

An even larger capacitor.

If you mean consumer available hard drive, look no further than:

(One terabyte! 1000GB!)

**Funkstar** · 14-01-2006, 06:12 PM

strictly speaking the that isn't the largest drive, as it is two phisical drives in one case. the largest cpacity single unit drive is 500gig from various manufacturers. Which is the largest out those, i don't know, but it will only be by a metter of MB.

The thread was supposed to about storage capacity, however, seeing large capacitors is quite amusing!

FYI The LaCie 1Tb storage box - we recover data from loads of them. They tend to get rather hot. Be careful!

I think single disks are going around the 500GB mark atm, but stick a few of them together and you can have a drive as big as your controler can handle.

So whats the bigest Capasity RAID controller?

**Funkstar** · 16-01-2006, 07:32 PM

Not sure, but you can get 8 channel controllers that can be grouped together to give increased capacity. The Broadcom RAIDCore for example can have 4 controllers handling 32 SATA drives.

I don't know what sort of RAID scheme you would want for something like that, but you would need at least one parity drive and hot spare per controller. So you would have something like ~12TB of storage space using 500gig disks

mmmmmmm 12TB

Edit: But if you want *really* large storage you would contact IBM, HP, Sun or any of the other very large vendors and get them to build you something the size of a wardrobe

Here you go, just a little one, but up to 50.4TB in a single cabinet!
