Hitachi Shoots For 10TB Hard Drives

Nice, but imo pretty pointless for consumers. I'm struggling to fill 1Tb let alone 10 lol. But as hd videos are becoming more mainstream htpc's would benefit from a huge liberary. Imagine backing it up. Would have to do mirror raid.
 
I can fill a 750gb hdd in about a month these days.... This could be just what I need, but backing all of this up looks like it could be a long process. Some good tech going on, be nice to see the results when it finally hits the market...

Pr0nography :p

I don't see this ruling the roost in 5-10 years time for general users but I can see large businessess and organisations using this.

SSD will become the norm if prices continue falling.
 
750gb is nothing, and i cant discuss it on here...but having 21mb broadband helps things fill up quickly.

I think ssd's should be the norm for normal consumer use. Or at least i can see them fastly becoming more used in the not so near future with improvement always being made...

Arghh be you a pirate matey, (dammit why isn't there a smiley with an eye patch lol.)

I can see in the future people having one of these for their storage and then an SSD for games and OS.

Easy for me aswell. 10TB would be excellent.. won't need to worry about storage for ages.. it's annoying having to manage what you want to keep and delete.. when you can just keep it all... MUAHAHA!

you hav 21mb broadband? i can only get 8meg in my area! thinks me gonna move to ebbw!! :)
 
Cool i could do with one of them for all my roms. Save having masses of hard drives scatterd all over the place. my only thing would be if it died .. i would cry.

Yeah, 10TB is a ton to lose all at once and I think I would cry too. I would probably back up my 10TB drive with masses of other drives and defeat the whole purpose of owning one to begin with.
 
I find 1TB enough for the time being. I don't pirate stuff (with darn good reason guys), but I do record a lot of shows from TV and watch them at a later date. I have a dedicated HTPC with a 1TB for this, and it's usually filled up 800GB or so with about equal adding/deleting rate.

I think if I installed all of my games on my gaming rig, they may well be more than 1TB.
 
This thing will be costly:p

I'm still using a slow Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB drive and I have to delete stuff all the time :(

ME NEEDZ MONEY!!!! :p:p
 
Hope you've updated your firmware on that 7200.11! If it's not on the latest you could risk losing your data. Lots of people had that problem last year.

Update firmware? WHAT?!?! I never did that =/

Will I lose my data if I update the firmware?

Also, maybe it came with new firmware.... I got the HDD in Q3 2009, it came in a FSC Amilo Li system. The HDD + the CPU are all that's left from that system xD
 
10tb = alot of pron xD, lol i dont even kno what i would do with all of that sept movies, and games, but i agree i would cry if 10 tb of my stuff just disapeared.

Check the drives details on the Seagate site, that's probably the best way to know. Q3 2009 may be after they implemented the new firmware (I think it is), but you never know what stock has been lying around where you bought it.
