think i can get into my computer without having one HDD crash? And how many GB’s or even TB’s do you think i’ll come up with? :crazy:
Well it all depends how good you are with computers. I doubt I could get 2 in, but you might be able to get 30 into it. How on earth could you use a TB?
what the he**ll is a TB?
I think terabit. am I right?
I thought it was a made up term.
byte > kilobyte > megabyte > gigabyte > trillabyte
But, I’m probably wrong.
I think it’s a Terrabyte 1000 gig. My friend runs an isp and he buys drives at 50Terrabytes each (and has about 100 of them)
Dave
But i’m probably wrong too…lol
he is talking about a terabyte, 100 gigabytes or 1,000,000,000,000 bytes
offtopic lets see i have 130gb of sapce on this computer alone, in this room i have ~200gb of space on a total of 4 harddrives
1,000 bytes = 1 kilobyte (thousand)
1,000 kilobytes = 1 megabyte (million)
1,000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte (billion)
1,000 gigabytes = 1 terabyte (trillion)
1,000 terabytes = 1 petabyte (a Bazillion :!: )
How much can you fit in your box ?
… depends on a lot - o - factors
just something to think about…if you do happen to hook a multitude of hdd’s together they will be extremely noisy.
i once put 4 15,000 RPM harddrives into a server…it sounded like a helicopter was going to take off (well maybe not that loud but you get the point)!
good luck 
-teet
make a sound-proof case for them all? you could always record the sound levels of the HDD’s, place a speaker next to them and play the ‘anti-noise’ (sound of an equal and oposite wavelength/frequency - this will counter-act the sound and muffel it. They use this on some aircraft!)
I may be wrong about the ‘anti-noise’ thing though, but i don’t think im too far off…)
I think the biggest HDD’s you can buy in denmark at the moment is 250 GB… no tera HDD’s yet…
relandR: the limit is at 1024 
not 1000
1024 GB = 1 TB (terabyte)
Right now i have 550 GB on 5 HDD’s, and i can modify my case so i’ll be able to fit atleast 3 more. But i sure am going for 1 TB 
…then there’s the almighty exabyte.
:hat:
geez! and i thought i was happy with my 60GB. Thats impressive s-fx

5 HDDs? Seems rather… uneconomical
thor: 10$ says we hit at least 20 exabyte before 2015
with the rate we’re going with now… phew…
My HDD of preference is the WD1200JB Special Edition. It’s Western Digital’s 120GB HDD with 8MB of cache. Has never failed me once. My friend has an array of I think 7 of them, which he RAIDs. He uses them all for pirated stuff. Unbelievable.
eilsoe: I’m thinking even earlier than that. I wouldn’t be surprised if Terrabytes were found in common HDDs by 2006. I waiting for Serial ATA. That’s the next generation of HDD capability, which is much faster than old Ultra ATA/IDE. Terrabytes would be flowing like a river on that type of BUS. but yeah, $10 for Exabytes in 2015, you’re on.
Yeah thats what im using, SATA… much faster, a lot easier and not as much FREAKIN CABLES all over the **** computer!
you’re lucky, all you have to deal with is a wire as thin as the audio cable from your cd-rom to your sound card (should you still use that). i’m waiting for SATAs to become fairly mainstream so that i can get a good deal and a decent HDD. How big’s your SATA HDD? and how much did it cost?
I’ve got three PCs at home, all networked together… Two of them have two HD’s in and one has three. Some have got XP OS, others have got earlier versions, so I can run all the various games I’ve collected over the years.
