I built a Windows 10 computer recently. I put a stack of Western Digital Red (for NAS) drives into the Storage Spaces application. My family has 10TB of storage to use. We broke 3TB recently (mostly ripped movies and a LOT of pictures). I do remember seeing a Compaq computer in Sears back in 1994 or 1995 with a 1GB HDD—it was enormous!
Sounds nice. Lot’s of movies and music here.
I’m a windows man but not Windows 10, so I buy Mac’s, install Parallels and either Windows 7 or 8.1 and turn off updates aster essential updates have been installed.
I actually use both sides of these computers often and they work very well for my consulting.
Merry Christmas!
The IBM Cottle Rd facility was about 15 north of Morgan Hill is within the San Jose city limits. My first job after grad school was on that campus and I knew a few people who worked on the original Winchester drive and they still had a number of disks from that period decorating offices. It was named for the Winchester 30-30 round because it had 30MB fixed and 30MB removable storage.
I thought I was getting ahead of the game when I added my second 10 meg HD to my 286.
1979 Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I Level II 16K with cassette recorder and matching b/w monitor.Typing in Basic and ML programs from magazines.
In 1970 I was stationed at Kadena AFB working for AFSA. Between flights I worked essentially inside a computer. The Computer in question was in a room that was probably more than half an acre in size and had rows and rows of stacks of perhaps 20 hard drives that seemed to be about 14 inches in diameter and an inch thick. I have been given to understand that all that capacity did not equal what some modern smartphones or tablets have. It was all tube tech and had to be kept at some COLD temperature so we all wore jackets and watch caps and some wore gloves with the fingers cut off so we could type on the teletype keyboards.
I think “Insurance” refers to a lot of dirt on various groups, governments or individuals who Assange sees as a threat to his life.

They call it RAID now. Check out NAS. I personally like Synology over Buffalo but to each their own.
NAS is an acronymn for Network Access Storage. Huge drives can be be pieced together out of many. The Synology I personally like and still yet to get if I am ever allowed is the 8 drive bay expandable up to 18 drives. A far cry from 2 to 4 drives however your data is safe in the event of hardware failure (somewhat).
Some NAS or file servers will allow to run server software on them and also you can develop your own cloud-based storage and media servers.
My Raw 4K video clips eat up many gigs of space in short order.
I make blu-ray backups.
Storage Spaces is incredibly useful. Not sure if Win8 had it. I used it briefly in Windows Server 2012 which was Win8-based.
was the code name Winchester any more significant than if it was say Remington or maybe Colt?
I think they have something so incinderary it might bring down governments. Wikileaks probably got the goods submitted by the NYPD that was so vile. There is probably more then emails on this huge batch, maybe photos,videos, and more (quietly says “yes pizza-gate”).
I could not finish that video.
Thanks for first-hand clarification. I remember the production line as being impressive and clearly understood that IBM was mighty proud of those babies.
The visit lead to other discussions including why IBM was not a union facility.
Yup. The technology drives it.
Careful with the writable media, though. The disks don’t have a super long shelf life. Check it often and copy it to new disks or storage devices.
We have a NAS with RAID and weekly back up and then I write it to DVD occasionally.
One of my first jobs was as a software laboratory computer operator. I worked with those Winchester Harddrives extensively. (The actual computers were about the size of two walk-in closets end to end.)
“Winchester” just happened to fit the product by way of a popular reference - 30-30 = 30MB fixed storage plus 30MB removable storage. That was my CompSci professor’s explanation in 1980.
BKMK until someone else reads it and reports back.
Intellihub says this is the drop:

It seems to be 2007-2009 hacks of just about everything.
These are all old files, so I don’t know if they are really the ones from today.
