iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 Things change quickly...What Is The Biggest Hard Drive In The World ?haha. I can see alot has changed since '05. But it doesn't take long for that to happen in the computer world. Damn Intel has a new processor coming out like every 1/2 yr. Or less now. But yeah, 500 GB is definitely not the biggest sold in stores now. Newegg has 2 TB HDDs for like $299, and large enterprise-based companies make HDDs for mainframe servers and supercomputers that are absolutely phenomenal. As said before, they can get up to the yottabytes now, which is ridiculous. And to think that probably less than 10 yrs ago, we were limited to 32GB w/ FAT32. Haha. Can't keep up for ****. -reply by James Story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 28, 2009 HereWhat Is The Biggest Hard Drive In The World ?The new extra large drives they make in high end computers ARE NOT ONE DRIVE. They call it a "raid array" and it is actually 4 one terabyte byte drives. The problem is because it's 4 drives, the rate of failure is quadruple that of a single drive. They still don't have openly available 4 terabyte drives. My problem is EVEN if you could find a giant drive, the standard data rate is 300 megaytes per second for the SATA drives in peoples' comps. This means copying a full DVD to disc would take about 15 2/3 seconds. This is the same exact speed you'd get out of a 15 gigabyte drive. I also suffer much frustation over those "manufacturer's bytes". It turns a 1 terabyte drive into a 931 gigabyte drive. Grr. Also, on ebay they don't have better than like the 1.5 "terabyte" drives that are being put out. Worst of all, 1.5 terabytes is like 1.3 gigabytes. Like getting a car with 25 miles per gallon and it comes out to 19 m.P.G. Or something because they "standardized" the system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 current.What Is The Biggest Hard Drive In The World ?The largest internal HDD's I have seen are about 500gb. External ranges from 2-2.5TB Currently there is a 3.5'' drive being worked on that will allow for 1.25PB thats Petra Bites, worth of space on a single drive. All this will be doable using nano technology. Something to do with controling the rotation of an electron. Google it and have fun -reply by aminadam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted July 13, 2009 The biggest hard drive in the world was the one made by IBM in 1956 with a capacity of only 5 MB using 50 aluminum discs but its bigger than a refrigerator. Largest capacity? that's a different question. -reply by dmax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yordan 10 Report post Posted August 22, 2009 EDIT: I'm quickly finding out this isn't the only thread in this category that's from 2005.There is no real reason suppressing threads that are from 2005. Most of the problems people express today are problems solved before 2005 bu somebody else. That's one part of the forum usage rules : before submitting a problem, have a look if this problem has not been already solved by a topic using the "search" button. Namely all the command-line tools in windows are well-known since tens of years, and a lot of people still don't know thins like "chkdsk" or "ipconfig /release & ipconfig /renew"as well as unix commands like "cfgmgr -v" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted September 11, 2009 What Is The Biggest Hard Drive In The World ?What Is The Biggest Hard Drive In The World ?There is talk of this 5TB and 10TB also a 300TB all by Christmas. But they do currently offer a 2.5TB at my local PC stores and many online suppliers have 4TB available for a price of 2 full alienware computers. Vista and XP currently only can handle 2TB in the master slot. While Linux can handle 8EB in theory. Lots of the big companies like google and yahoo currently have servers over 50PB and it is theorized that all the internet is about 10ZB and grows 500TB per day. TeraByte, Petabyte, Exabyte, zettabyte.Take this in consideration also. If you were to review an 80 yr old humans life assuming they slept 8hrs a day on HD 1920 x 1080/60i 4:2:0 format, would be 233TB of digital video & audio information. -reply by Drax The Space Clown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The largest capacity single spingle hard drive SATA II for a desktop computer is 2TB (Dec 2009). 3TBsingle spindle hard drives are supposed to be released in 2010. Larger capacities can be obtained with RAID ... @TB x # of drives = the capacity of the RAID. Examples 2TB, 4TB, 6TB, 8TB, etc. -reply by wem0320 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
