The confusion is between tera (10^12) and tebi (2^40). Most techies don't really seem to care and prefer the more historical use of tera even though it's now deprecated but personally I appreciate the attempt at clarity.]]>Apr 25th 2007 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/Apr 25th 2007 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/Apr 25th 2007 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/Apr 25th 2007 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/
Suuuuuuuuuuuure

Thats why they stopped making desktops right???

Stop it..........

I've got 4 Desktops in my house AND a Laptop I JUST ORDERED from HP........reason being I need something to do on trips.......

My point is Laptops are cool...........but NOWHERE NEAR as Reliable and cost effective as a desktop.....

so contrary to YOUR beliefs..........

I'm gonna get around 5 or so TRUE 1TB drives when some releases them.........because 1,000GB(Really around 975GB or so) is NOT the same as a TRUE 1024GBs or 1TB...........

Still tho.......its rather good to know we are getting close........it will help me cut down on the 500GB drives and allow for MORE room and space in my Media Server]]>Apr 25th 2007 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/
I apologize for saying most people buy laptops. I guess what I meant is that an increasing number of people. Laptop users are a very significant market nowadays. I would think they would put more R&D time and money towards it. I'm sure they are working hard towards it but it seems like a terabyte drive was more important than increasing the meager offerings on laptops. The difference being that on a desktop, a software RAID is not too difficult. On a laptop, its infeasible to have multiple drives so large built-in (no external drives) drives are the only option. ]]>Apr 25th 2007 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/May 2nd 2007 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/Apr 25th 2007 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/
500GB internal drives can already be had for less than $130....that's just AMAZING.

We should easily see 2TB by summer 08'. ]]>Apr 25th 2007 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/

Most people think that 1TB is 2^40 bytes, and Windows reports 1TB as 2^40.
The ACTUAL formatted space on this drive will show up in Windows as just under 909GB (with a little extra loss due to format info and partition table info). The space difference isn't 'lost', it was just never there to begin with. Manufacturers report the size on the box as 10^12 bytes to artificially increase their size rating. A 900GB Hard Drive doesn't seem as impressive as 1.0TB no?]]>Apr 25th 2007 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/Apr 25th 2007 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/Apr 25th 2007 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/

Where's the 200 GB 7200 rpm 2.5" drive
Hitachi promised in the first half of 2007? I know its not past that
time yet, but damn, I'm impatient. I want to double the size of my
drive. Samsung announced this, but is not selling it yet (at least to
consumers). When are these going to come out?" Typically
manufacturers develop technology progressivly. They build one type
of drive usually the easiest then start working on the other
products. For instance they wont develop a laptop hard drive before
a desktop drive. In my experiance with Fibre drives the newest
drives are usually double height until the next drive comes out then
they goto the smaller form factore. Usually devolopement in one area
will impact other areas. The platters on a laptop hard drive are
typically smaller than a desktop drive but as the data density
increases on one it should on the other as well. With this
understanding you should have a positive outlook for future laptop
devolopment.]]>May 2nd 2007 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/I guess they might be using the 4-5GB Mpeg2 sized DVD-rips?
However, it brings another question to light - who stores mpeg2 rips on their computer without transcoding?" I rip movies directly to my media center pc which had about 4TB worth of storage. This computer outputs to a 65 inch hd television. I also have media center extenders that will accept on the fly streaming transcoded content for codecs it doesnt support. Ripping them directly to disk which is pretty cheap now, takes less time, doesnt degrade the quality. Compressing new 1080 hd content is going to take even more overhead in the future. People who want hd content want it for the uncompromised quality. If you have a lossless compression which has a ratio that justifies the time doing it let me know.]]>May 2nd 2007 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/May 2nd 2007 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/]]>May 2nd 2007 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/hitachi-gets-its-one-terabyte-deskstar-7k1000-drives-out-the-doo/May 2nd 2007 12:18PM
