Wonder what new hard drives are coming out in Jan 07 .. I would like to see the price of the current 500GB and 750GB drives dropped.

DougEdey · 1st Dec 2006, 11:55

I want to see the bigger drives drop a lot in price aswell.

lord nicon21 · 1st Dec 2006, 11:59

yeah i want the 750 to be 200 or less

i want 3 of them

Well, what did they THINK we need a 1 TB drive for?

I wish removable storage would catch up with hard drives though. It's a real pain in the arse to back up 100+ GB of data onto optical media, I don't have any idea about tape drives, and it's a headache. I'm thinking about getting a stand-alone NAS box and putting it out in the shop in case the house burns down.

Why not put an ide or sata internal in an external caddy and get some backup software to automatically do it?

I looked at that, but it doesn't really solve the problem, or rather it solves a problem I don't feel I have. I'm not too concerned about having the drive go out since it's already a RAID 1 array and the array is on a seperate physical disk than the OS so even if the OS gets borked or one drive dies I should be ok. What I'm more worried about is physical destruction (or theft) of the fileserver and having to reconstruct the data. I suppose I could physically bring a USB external drive to the fileserver periodically and back it up, but I would rather do it automatically.

lol, from the title i thought seagate had made a drive which you could competly wipe within a second, emergency porn deltion by a special external button or something :O

still it's basically true what he said... other than the 'buy' bit.

Expect 1Tb drives to be the standard around march.

You have to admire his honesty, what is next? Michael Dell comes out and says our machines are going dual core so that you can have multiple porn movies running at one time?

i like that guy.

no wonder i have 3 Seagate harddrives on my computer.

specofdust · 1st Dec 2006, 14:15

Heh, it's funny because it's true. Hopefully he'll realise that some of us are still a bit unhappy with the sweetspot being 300/320GB drives and he'll do some work to get that up to 500.

mmorgue · 1st Dec 2006, 14:27

I hope we see a lot of firm growth and solid figures in the hard disk area

DXR_13KE · 1st Dec 2006, 14:39

i hope seagate hard drives don't die so often...... or else you will loose your pron.
