So how much larger before Terabyte storage?
Becuase I would like to cut my Raid array down to 5 drives...
edit: and is anyone else surprised about the IDE 750GB drives?

Wow, that made me laugh :D

Just when I thought my 500GB was big :(

[Vincentvega18]

Thats nearly 10 times the size of my largest hdd......now those guys over at seagate must get through a lot of pron :slapass:

[IluvIntel]

Somebody get them and start a Raid-0 set up using the SATA2 models... lets see some benchies...:)

[Movieman]

notice no prices, they will not be cheap..
now imagine backing up that drive..lots of time..
Raid5 with them:D

Yeah, 750 GB is a lot. But going from 160 to 187.5 GB per platter by adding perpendicular recording is not really impressive! 17 % more? Come on, even the 100 to 120 GB move was bigger (yeah, that's 20 % folks:p: )

[RyderOCZ]

lmao.. he deserved that ...


750gb.. jebus.. thats alot of storage.Didn't deserve it....just a typo, but I couldn't resist :D

Raid6+1 takes up alot of drives :p:

[RyderOCZ]

Raid6+1 takes up alot of drives :p:I am not the most informed person, but.......... Raid6+1? are we making up non existent standards now? :p: :D

[nn_step]

nope it is just duplexing of two Raid6 arrays :D

[RyderOCZ]

nope it is just duplexing of two Raid6 arrays :DRaid 6....that is what I was questioning.

EDIT: Googled it.....interesting never heard of it.

raid 6 has been around for at least a year.

to those that know, is there a way i can make a striped array with two 300gb drives and use one of these as a mirror for the other two drives? is that a form of raid? thanks.
