Terabyte Hard Drive Put To the Test
EconolineCrush writes "As a technical milestone, Hitachi's Deskstar 7K1000 hard drive is undeniably impressive. The drive is the first to pack a trillion bytes into a standard 3.5" form factor, and while some may argue the merits of tebi versus tera, that's still an astounding accomplishment. Hitachi also outfitted the drive with 32MB of cache—double what you get with standard desktop drives—making this latest Deskstar a leader in both cache size and total capacity. That looks like a great formula for success on paper, but how does it pan out in the real world? The Tech Report has tested the 7K1000's performance, noise levels, and power consumption against 18 other drives to find out, with surprising results."
I agree with the smart too. I don't know how many drives I have seen that died shortly after it started annoying people.
As for you sig, you do realize that the movies More does is an exaggeration of the situation in almost all cases and sometimes it is made up or misplaced to mislead the impression you get from watching it. I haven't seen it yet but I have seen him doing promotional interviews. I guess this one isn't much different then the others. I have already been told some of the stuff in the interviews were flat out wrong by people living in the other countries that are supposed to be so much better.
