content: What's the point? we can generate random names and add byte to them all day long..Problem is getting such hard drives, naming them is the easy partWe can probably get 1PetaByte hard drive if we connect like 500hard drives, dont we?

content: 1024 Gummo Byte= 1?Quote from: rrinker on May 22, 2016, 06:12:48 pmKeeping with the progression, 1024 Gummo Bytes = 1 Chico ( pronounced Chick-o) Byte and 1024 Chico Bytes = 1 Minnie Byte.

content: Quote from: ZeTeX on May 22, 2016, 07:13:36 pmno, problem is getting warranty service for such drives.by the time you write the last byte, the century has already turned over, nevermind the warranty. and, that drive company and the continent it used to be on no longer exists.

content: Quote from: linux-works on May 23, 2016, 03:50:04 amThat is true for now, later we will have files larger then a couple of GB's, maybe even petabyte files, and when petabyte files will exist - so will the petabyte hard drives.

content: At the company I worked for in 1993, we had a large room full of storage for our mainframes. They were very proud of having 13 TB of total storage available online.I have a small mini-ATX case for my server at home which has 13TB of disk in it, and I'm not even using the largest capacity drives commonly available today. 3 of the drives are 3TB and the rest as a mix of 2TB and 1TB. That last 1TB drive may get replaced with a 4TB soon, my last upgrade replaced 2 other 1TB drives with 3TB models. I still have a 1.2 GIG drive in a drawer from an old computer.
