still 1TB is equivilant to 1024GB size matters not. 1024GB = 1048576MB The size of 1TB does not change in common sense.

nor does that for 1GB or 1MB and so on 1024TB = 1PB aka 1 Peta Byte and the list goe's one, a 1TB HDD is actually 980 true GB never 1 true TB. they round it off to a whole number so it would sell better Wink

Just a typical marketing idea, my Seagate Barracuda V 120GB is only 111,2 true GB while my older Maxtor 120GB was 114,8 true GB so it can differ from what brand you have as well, but it never will be seen asa true 120GB HDD it's always a lesser true amount.

Reply #5 - 07.04.07 at 10:26:32 hehe, while that certainly is a goodness of storage, it also arises the question "how on earth can I backup 1 TB?"... The bigger the single drives get, the more data is lost then they die...

Reply #6 - 07.04.07 at 11:41:25 ahuuh also the reason I still use a Maxtor Diamond Max 9 40GB 7200rpm HDD as my boot drive and a a Maxtor Diamond Max 10+ 160GB 7200rpm HDD as my game disk. the AthlonXP 2700+ has a nice Seagate Barracuda V 120GB 7200,7 rpm HDD big enough for the everyday thing and also far cheaper to replace

Reply #7 - 07.04.07 at 21:43:33 also partition takes its own from capacity. and it is recommended to that big storage 1TB sounds cool, but is it cheaper to buy 2x 500GB HDDs?

Raid 6 is like raid 5 but then you have the advantage if two HDD's fail, you can replace them thereby without rebuilding the whole Raid array anew, with Raid 5 you only have the safety of one HDD failure, if you loose two with a RAID 5 array, well then you'll have to reset the whole RAID array in otherwords you loose all the data.

Well I have a friend which has his own small buisness and yeah he has 24 750 GB HDD SAS HDD's in Raid 10

which kinda alot of space ut extremely fsats drives, a single 750GB SAS HDD does 3GB per sec, beats SATAII and SCSI U320 heh.

he has clustered 6 Dual Opteron Socket F 2.6 Dual Core systems, 6 quad cored systems actually
