looks quite BIG as well...

hadn't seen your post... sorry:thumbsup

That's what all the girls say at first

<br>

looks like it's slow as shit

USB 2.0: up to 34MB/s

i connect regular hard disks through USB 2.0 and the speed is more than 500mbs

is 34MB/s slow for a harddrive.? sounds fast to me.. but I'm in no means a pc geek.:(

Wow that's a lot of space .. but the price is ok ... considering the average price per GB is $1

you probably mean Mbits/sec?

If you do not play in games, do not download video and mp3...so much spaces do not need....I have 60 gb, but use only 30.

The problems:

if (when) it dies, you've not only lost a $1200 drive that you now have to replace, but you've also lost a TB of data, that you now have to replace.

This was what clinched my decision to stick with 250gb drives and smaller. It's much easier to keep adding smaller drives as necessary than it is to bank everything on one drive.

expensive??? 1200 bucks for a terabyte harddisk is not expensive man... you can store your entire life on that thing :winkwink:

hehe, indeed :winkwink:

it's expensive in the way I just outlined. Because it's not "if" it's gonna die, it's "when".

actual price cost is pretty much the same as stacking smaller drives. I got a box of 250gb drives coming at $240 each.... just under a buck a gig. But when one of those fail, I'm not out $1200 in one shot.

Plus if you raid those drives, you can store a lot and only replace a chunk as needed (like you said, it is a matter of when a drive will fail), and you still have all your data in tact.

yep, exactly....

I'm not on Raid, I use a firewire farm.... because I normally only write these drives once and just read from them after that. But same principle applies. I have backup duplicates of every drive in the farm. If one dies, I pop in a blank, restore from the backup, and I'm back in business an hour later. :thumbsup

only way I will use TB drives is if they give better incentive than stacking smaller ones. Like, cut the price to about .30 cents a gig.

Me too:thumbsup
