iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 ok you know how theirs kilabytes,megabytes,gigbytes, trigabytes, etc..? Is their such thing as just "bytes"? or what? becuase phpbb.com says "file size: 100000bytes" for example does bytes stand for kilabytes? or what? and another thing how many bytes or whatever the word"bytes" stands for are in 1mb.-thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a note, the 1024 comes from 2^10 (2 to the power of 10), and an important number for computers.skyglow1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 although most ppl just round 1024 down to 1000 for easy conversion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 21, 2004 Can you get terrabite HHD`s? i`d love one.Only 80gb on my desktop, 30gb on my laptop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 I think 400GB is the most for one HDD, but you can combine several drives in RAID 0 to get virtually a terabyte hard drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 I've heard of a TB hdd. The only thing is is costs 1000$. wich is relatively cheap, because you pay 1$ per GB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 you can get tape drives.. that are up there... but as for hdd's i recon only the pentagon has that kinda *BLEEP* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Tape drives are OLD.The terrabyte concept is still going to be under development for a while now, but I expect it's going to be a while untill anyone actually needs one for casual purposes. I'd like to see a 3cm 400gb harddrive sometime soon however Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing is is costs 1000$. wich is relatively cheap, because you pay 1$ per GB Â I know there are external 1TB hard drives, but one signal internal 1 terabyte hard drive? :? Any proof? And, what would you use a terabyte hard drive for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 And, what would you use a terabyte hard drive for? hosting 2048 ppl with 500 mb accounts each Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Yes, of course, a shared computer or server. It would be interesting to see how large the hard drive is on the server we are on, considering we have 1106 members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
