I was looking around on newegg and decided to check out what the most expensive 3.5 HDD they had was.
Turns out it is a IBM 44X2458 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive. Priced at 1300 dollars.
I know that this drive is for business servers ect... but I don't understand what would make it worth 10x as much as similar drives.
Its not even SAS or 6.0gb/s sata, which I thought SAS was pretty standard for servers.
Shit you can get a 20 pack of 1tb 7200rpm Deskstars (yes in know deathstar) for the same price. But still 20 for the price of one.
How much more reliable and faster could this really be?
