Its a shame its 750*10^9 instead of the appropriate base-2 figure (750GB in base-10 is actually 700GB in base-2).

I cant believe... 750GB.. I cant wait to put one in my Series 3 HD TiVo when I get one later this year. Thats 700hrs of SDTV or 90+ hours of HDTV.

Four in RAID-5 would yield 2.1TB.

it will command one hell of a price premium tho...

And would require a filesystem that supported that size.

So if the drive is 700GB actual size, wouldnt that be 2.8TB of space? Not 2.1?

RAID-5 not RAID-0.

Holy crap, apparently they've given up on quoting a seek time. 15 ms, here we come.

Also, what filesystem would you be using that doesn't support 2TiB volumes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Limits)? Everything I would even contemplate using works with that. The problem is more with having a single block device that large.

Sorry I get them mixed up, why can't there be letters instead of numbers...

What are the platter specifications for the 7200.10?

[piako]

750 will be 698.49 when formatted :)

=(750*1000*1000*1000)/(1024*1024*1024)
