Seagate annouces 2TB HDD and SSD for next year

[xlink]

You havn't owned me yet, you have provided no proof, and anyways what does it matter weather or not you have owned me or not, the most important thing is to learn, no? being "owned" is only is something that juveniles find important, how old are you? I think you have clocked up 2,282 in less time than me by talking crap and spamming threads.

consider the following -
the velicoiraptor still offers only half the performance necessary to saturate SATAII

and it's burst speed is still below the 150mb/s of SATAI


the drive is faster because it uses smaller denser platters and as such the head not only has to move less while seeking data, but it also passes over more data with each revolution of the platter.

[DFI pit bull]

pff, fine then, forget that i recommended reading up on platter density, no need to learn stuff that doesnt exist

You havn't answered my question, HOW OLD ARE YOU?????

explain to me how highend SSDs on SATA 1 outperform the veloci raptor on SATAII

great going jnr, u've got others calling u out, & u still refuse to learn... hang on.. thats what u wanted to do right? weird.. weird that u dont do it now...

As far as I know the ssd only outperforms the raptor in seek times and not in read/write.

that would be due to the SATA1 interface right?

I really don't care if I’m wrong, I had the impression that you were just trying your best to be a smartass and take the piss which "STILL" makes me wonder how old you "REALLY" are.

[Martijn]

Guys, stop bashing each other. Keep it nice for the rest...

then u understood me completely wrong! welcome to the world of the interwebs! where words have tones/connotations/'vides' that only u can make up!

Ok' lets shake hands and forget about it.

done!


err.. maybe not the last one

toss that onto an SATA interface and watch it have roughly 30% better read/write than the Vraptor...

But will that drive have exactly the same performance on sata&sataII. has anyone ever tested?

no it'd be bottlenecked on SATAI since it exceeds it.
but even with such a restraint, it's still faster than a raptor on SATAIIas far as read/write performance goes.

for consumer HARDDRIVES the interface really doesn't matter.

[tiro_uspsss]

DFI BP: why/where do u get ur info from?

a number of us have stated why/where that a change in interface does not mean the medium becomes faster, but u havent

the notion that a storage medium becomes faster as its interface is 'upgraded' is... confusing

to me, thats like saying that... example:

u sit on a 50cc scooter.
it does 60km/h max.
that scooter's max speed aint going whether u are provided with 1 lane or 100 lanes.

u follow?

2TB bit overkill imo, but sweet. There is a market for it, for those people who love to record every crap show, or stream dvd/blu ray disc over network. Call me old fashioned, but i prefer to burn dvd disc and have them on my shelf with printed sleeves and disc

[railmeat]

I hear you. So much pr0n and so little time. I've got 2TB on my HTPC (500 internal, 500GB + 1.0TB usb external) and I still keep running out of space.

"So much pr0n and so little time"

rofl 130 gigs here,agree.seagte 250 ext here.

They were going to sue SSD makers if SSDs became popular? On what grounds? That sounds retarded. And with Samsung coming out with their 256GB SSD that is supposed to have like 200MB/s+ read/write speeds, they better be worried.

Yeah, here's a link to when it was posted on here:

I wonder how you people manage to have even 1TB of stuff, my 320gb drive is not even half filled :S

As to using up 2TB, we may not be used to such capacities now, but in time we'll be begging for more. Someone mentioned it earlier, but with higher video resolutions(BlueRay), bigger games, and us just storing up more crap(just because we can), it won't be long.

I would love to have a massive HDD in my enclosure in which I can store backup images of OS setups, plus have room for my media storage.

[RPGWiZaRD]

I wouldn't mind having a 2TB HDD already so I wouldn't have to use 6 HDDs. But I don't like buying the biggest sized HDDs but best capacity/price ones which is probably 1TB HDDs by that time.

What if it dies

[Cooper]

Please relax and stick to the topic

[KiD0M4N]

you are getting on my ing nerves tiro_uspsss, go bother someone else .

Post reported for 'trolling.'

Read his analogy again:

1 50cc Scooter will not go faster if you take it from a 1 lane highway and put it in a 100 lane highway.

A VR is not close to saturating a SATA1 interface, so yes "THE PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT IS NOT BECAUSE OF CHANGE OF INTERFACE."

[Papu]

i agree max of sata is what 3gb/s?

[Serra]

how is 2TB an accomplishment, if u can put 6 platers in a drive and have 330GB platers then u can do one now

Just FYI a little piece of random knowledge I picked up somewhere one day - drive specifications actually put height restrictions on drives. With our current technology, no we could not manufacture a 2TB drive which would conform to those specifications.

Likely all they need is just a process shrink though, it's not strictly speaking necessary for them to add extra platter density... though it's far more likely to me that they would.

[conzymaher]

With 500gig notebook HDDs currently available, I thought 2tb in a desktop 3.5" drive would be no problem? There are already drives with 5 platters, a 5x 320gig platters would be a 1.5tb drive, and surely they can increase data density a lot more than 320gig per platter if they can fit 500gigs in a notebook drive? Or are the notebook drives 2x 250gig platters or something?

Anywhoo yay for more storage \o/ HD BSG is going to take its toll on my Storage
