Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: BFG on January 13, 2005, 08:42:11 pm .... Ive got just over a Terrabyte of storage sitting beside me ::lol:: ... admitedly its not one HD though ;)

Ive got just over a Terrabyte of storage sitting beside me ::lol:: ... admitedly its not one HD though ;) That's sick. Pure and simple. If i install -EVERYTHING- i own on CD onto my computer, most of which i already have done, i wont even pass the 150 GB Mark. (Currently, 130 GB Free of 250) Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: BTs_Mysterio on January 13, 2005, 09:30:53 pm I'm still waiting to go hella crazy until the 10000RPMs become cheap. Currently only 100 GBs free of 320 GBs free, I don't like going much lower than that so I have alot of back up CDs.
Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: DarK. on January 13, 2005, 10:59:31 pm To think when I got my iBook I thought 20 GB was a big deal
Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: BTs_Mysterio on January 13, 2005, 11:20:36 pm I remember how huge 1 GB seemed when my dad got his powerbook G3... then again 72MB seemed big in the IIsi
Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: BFG on January 14, 2005, 01:35:39 am ... You know whats scarey, i don't have much spare. 500GB goes on a RAID Mirror storage system (2x250GB) (from Wiebe tech FW800 and highly recommended ) so i have a great storage system for backup
I got sent another internal 200GB drive today but i didn't order it... bit odd. I'll find some room for it though as long as i don't have to pay for it ;) Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: BTs_Mysterio on January 14, 2005, 01:40:06 am G5s only has 2 internal bays :(
Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: BFG on January 14, 2005, 01:41:55 am Unless you get one of those amazing things that you stuff inside the G5 and gives you 5 internal bays and about 4 external SATA slots!!!
Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: BTs_Mysterio on January 14, 2005, 01:43:34 am I wanna see those things last on the market for awhile, need to be assured they wont hurt airflow or power distribution for awhile...
Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: BFG on January 14, 2005, 01:46:49 am Indeed, and to be honest i see little point - if you need to plug 10HD's into your G5 then you might as well buy a god damn XRAID .... Hmmmm xraid ;)
I must say i woulnd't put on in my G5 though - i think id prefer the apple cooling system to the one that comes with the HD box! Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: BTs_Mysterio on January 14, 2005, 01:48:14 am I may get some external stuff, but not until I fix my port related crashes.
Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: *DAMN Elandrion on January 14, 2005, 06:45:39 am Barefeats has a nice review (http://www.barefeats.com/firm1V4.html) on a SATA PCI-X card... you'll also find tests of various storage devices there.
Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: BTs_Mysterio on January 14, 2005, 04:21:48 pm Speaking of Barefeats I can't wait for their bench marks on the Mac Mini...
Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: spike on January 14, 2005, 04:56:25 pm My poor abused iBook with 80 gigs, with three available... :(
Title: Re: 500 GB Hard Drive Post by: BTs_Mysterio on January 14, 2005, 05:00:38 pm iBooks pwn! I enjoy using this G4 iBook as much as my G5!
