That’s a lot of porn.

What about max RPM?

[newfreep]

I’ve miles and miles of files
Pretty files of your forefather’s fruit
And now to suit our great computer,
You’re magnetic ink.

Things that are ANY DAY NOW:

• Wonders of Graphene
• the Durham Report
• QANON

Seems pointless. SSD is the future. Moving parts are obsolete.

Flying cars and Nuclear fusion...................

So that means they can now almost store all the criminal acts by Hillary

These would be great for backup storage. As far as using them for PC’s and laptops, SSD’s are the only way to go IMO.

At this point, I don’t care much about density. 1TB is enough for me. What I care about is access time. For this reason, I much prefer SSDs and will never go back to magnetic drives again.

“one terabyte per square inch.”

That 1 inch square has a trillion bits. Each 1-bit square would be a millionth of an inch on each side.

Unbelievable but I suppose true.

[Red Badger]

“one terabyte per square inch.”....That 1 inch square has a trillion bits.

One BYTE = 8 BITS, so 8 Trillion BITS.

But that's what it is NOW.

The graphene coating multiples that by 10, so TEN TERABYTES per Sq/In!...............

It’s just the beginning of the potential of this type of hard drive using graphene but what if in a couple of years, SSD drives made with the technology start appearing...or a similar hard drive with equal access times...

Imagine 10TB at SSD access speeds....that’s the logical progression...

I purchased a new laptop a couple of months ago and you’re right SSD is the way to go, I have a couple of 2TB portable drives I carry as backup devices, but nothing beats the speed of the SSD right now, especially on boot up, turn on the laptop and be working in under 30 seconds is a wonderful thing..

Are they easier to wipe...like, with a cloth?

[Dead Corpse]

A lot of the bigger servers and back up solutions I build for my clients use a mix of drive architecture.

SSD’s have their limits. Predictive failure is based on read/writes instead of platter revolutions.

Still waiting for someone to come up with data storage based on electron spin or some other quantum-level stored energy potential.

And Cold fusion?

It means you can accumulate more clutter, which you will never use. Occasionally I weed through my hard drive and delete anything I have not used for 3 years.

Now the search engines are so good, it is crazy to store info on disks.

Moody Blues fan, eh!
