News Toshiba makes storage breakthrough

def going to pick one up for backup- 10 gb of storage would be nice.. imagine that's 5 2tb drives

 

You know full well I meant 10TB.

 

You can get everything worth having from the internet onto a floppy disk.

 

xD I always make typos.. sometimes I'll actually edit

that's true cut out a lot of things you'll never use again.. editing video takes a bit though

 

10 TB seems to be a lot now, but in a few years time it might be a minimum for laptops and stuff. Few years ago I didnt even think about having more than one 160 GB hdd, now my 2.5" external hdd (Toshiba as well) is 360 GB

 

wow thats certainly impressive, what I really would like to know is how their new read/write head works. Still this is freaking awesome.

 

Sounds very impressive. Just be sure to buy 2 and use one as a backup! That'd be a LOT of data to lose!

 

My god, just think what the rebuild times would be on an low end raid 5 controller

I've currently filled 2.61TB out of 3.63TB and I'm adding around 300GB/year so with any luck these drives will be out just in time for my next upgrade

 

RAID 5 is dead, long live RAID 6

 

I'd much rather have this that an SSD any day.
