Hitachi's New 4TB Hard Disk Drive - Yours for $377...

[NEOAethyr]

4tb, nice but horrible brand name of drive.
I've seen 3 personally die within a year when they were going with the ibm name (1 mine, 2 of my buddies).
Never again.

Besides, $400 for drive, no way.
My 2x1tb array cost me around $160.
I've love to jump up to 8tb's or so, but at the current prices I won't be doing that any time soon .
2tb's is just not enough for me anymore.

I hate dvd's and such, I don't think I'll ever burn another dvd.
Not when I can buy a drive and have it not beable to burn any disc's anymore after just a few months! (had 3 dvd drives do this to me, a diff buddy of mine had a dozen diff drives do the same to him)
So no more disc's for me, so I need drives, but at the current prices, I'll just forgo it for now.

Edit:
And btw, ssd's aren't that good when it comes to random data supposedly.
In theory about 45m a sec, in real life, 3xmegs per sec?, supposedly that's what they do.
A 2xr0 setup would outperform a single ssd when it came down to it.
Last time I went with 2 drives in a array, next time 3 or 4 in a array raid 0.
Performance wouldn't be all that bad for storage, it's not like booting up on a sdd or anything but still reasonable.
