Topic: Petabyte hard drives - page 3. (Read 2890 times)
Right now I have about 4 TB in use at home, but I could see where someone would want more. Of course at work I have much more than that.
1 TB is definitely not enough, but 20 TB should be plenty. Just get about 13 2 TB drives.
If I may ask you " what is the size of HDD you are using? "
1 TB is definitely not enough, but 20 TB should be plenty. Just get about 13 2 TB drives.
A person can save all the data one will ever require from songs + movies + other movies[porn] + Required Software+ necessary file + other crap in less than 1tb why s/he will require rest of 1023tb..?
Petabyte arrays are available. They're not exactly cheap.

Looks like the largest hard drive to be produced in the near future is 60 TB

Technology is truly amazing how long would it take to write a Petabyte on to a DVD and imaginative e searching for a small text file on it... Probably burn out your DVD drive
Not on consumer market yet as far as i know. Email around a bit to get a custom one for a special price

I have several (3 or 4) external drives filled with video data (not porn lol). Ok well...not ALL of it is porn. And I wish I could just have one drive to rule them all.

I have one. It's awesome. You can hot swap any drive, any size, any manufacturer without formatting or partitioning. Your computer recognizes it as one drive. By putting four 6tb drives in there, you would have 18TB of storage in one drive!
+1 for Drobo....I have one as we'll and they are great.
I don't think people comprehend how HUGE a PETABYTE is. 1 PB could store 13.3 years of HD video. 1 PB is supposedly how much video Netflix stores.

Hell, Wikipedia database is only 9.85 gigabytes compressed (44 uncompressed) and available for download.

I remember long time ago when people used to say that all you would ever need will like 512k bytes or so... Someone important said that. I don't remember who now. Look at us now... petabytes of data...
Sounds like that IBM statement "There is demand for ~3-4 computers worldwide"
Yeah...

Can I get one now. How much. When will they be affordable ??
The world's largest capacity hard drive is around 6TB I believe. That is only 0.6% of a petabyte.
How much porn do you have?

^ That's the kind of drive I need, I'm running three 1TB drives just to hold the bundles of "data" that I have been hoarding over the years.
I'm still using 250gb hard and feel like it's more then enough for now.
I'd forgot about "delete" option with petabyte hard

It'll be a long time before they're realeased and an even longer time before they're affordable. Why do you want or need that much storage?
