Hopefully Western Digital will make a 300GB soon.
Then a 7200 RPM version.
Then a Special Edition!

wake me up when someone starts selling a 30TB for 50 bux.

I think they are going to have static CPU caches by the time we need that much hard drive space. Of course it will be run by DNA (not silicon) and be VERY cheap (not the Intel ones though).

There will never be DNA processors or storage. Its too slow. Take the human brain for example, its only a few hertz.

actually, the human brain, operating at maximum capacity would be faster than all the computers in the world combined

Nothing can compare to the complexity and the power of the human brain.
Even we can't fully understand it.
It is the fastest computer in the world.
Think about it, all you know takes zillions on bytes.
Also, we are extremely intelligent.
We don't think "what this is used for."
We think "what can it be used for."
The product of the creator can not be more powerful than the creator!

the human brian is inefficent for the kind of storage we would demand from our storage devices.

the brain however is a very fast processor

We can store 4D events perfectly.

Brain is very inaccurate.

No, the brain is perfect.
In memorizes everything exactly.
It has unlimited space.
It can process faster than anything ever!

um, no ap

Yes, AP, I'll remember that it memorizes everything perfectly next time you get a 20 on a vocab quiz.

or just ask the guy behind you when your english teacher tries to hold a class wide discusion about wrestling in the middle of the quiz

Humans have a corrupted mind, we want comfort (some more than others - Car...)
Slave organic material is perfect for processing.
We must first find a devise to hack our minds and dump info in.
Then we will be genuises forever.

yes, need more slaves

SLAVES ISSUE
Take prisoners, hook their brains to a mind capture device, and drain their intelligence!!!

Man.. If I had a terrabyte!

Think of it this way.
Do you remember how you felt this morning (feelings).
No computer can hold that much data yet and maybe even ever.

you never knwo... Well, ofcourse, major corp servers.. My neighbor is making a server(Mixed of Differnet servers together), that adds up to 3 terabytes...lol

Listen, nothing in this world is perfect..

I could use it in my servers, if it don't cost over $1,000.00 per hard drive.

The Brain is the FASTEST MOST COMPLEX comptuer ever built nothing can match. Don't go bragging its a few hertz or it has crappy memory. It has way more then a few hertz just think. how can you remember something perfectly as it happens. Like it was said before it can remember 4D perfectly. it can remember anything perfectly BUT there is so much the brain is doing everysingle second and there is intelligence on top of that to make the brain not remember vocab. Every generation uses more and more brain power because the educatoin system becomes harder and harder which forces teh brain to do more everysecond therefore the brain is the most powerful biological machine in the world and in that case the most powerful machine

Yes, the brain is much faster than any computer

Find a computer which has logic/emotions

Man made the computer. Therefore, man is greater than all the computers in the world put together

The Brain is better and faster then any computer today but people who think humans can't create things that are better then humans are stupid because we have created cranes that are stronger then humans and computers that play chess better then humans...it's just a matter of enough diffrent people combining their knowledge to work through the benefits of the computer such as little memory loss and more acurate searching. The brain is not in anyway perfect...think of add and other brain diseases and normal memory loss. We only rember very little of what happened a week ago...just the bare basics not the colors of every single object we see.

The brain is not perfect because it goes aginst itself.
It was reported that the filtering mechanism of the brain between the left and right side reduce intelligence.

However, if that was disabled, you could solve complex math problems:
Find the week day of someone's birthday by having the date (August 1st 2004) immediatly. That is what someone did with an IQ of 64.

He probably just memorized the answer to that question, or guesed, you have a 1 in 7 chance of getting it right if you guess, so the odds aren't too bad.

Not to drag this on to long but the brain has a few filtering mechanisms, that is why we don't remmebr what we did last week, its not worthy of our brain power, plus if our brains did let in everything we saw or felt ti would be like watching 20 tv's at once

We still have those people with photographic memories that remember everything.

And we still have people who don't

lets murdere everyone who doesn't to create a superior race that can remember things, but then einstein dind't remember worth a crap. so maybe we shouldn't

We don't want to start WWII again. Just come up with a medicine that makes us all superior. It is that simple.

Ok, let us get back to the subject.

300GB is truly amazing. You can now buy one at NewEgg @ 7200RPM (SATA) with 16MB of cache for only $244.49.

I hope Western Digital gets some 300GB Hard Drives soon with 16MB of cache.

Deep, man, deep...... And on the subject of memory, apparently you will not have the same memory twice, what you remember is affected by what you are doing, surrounding etc....

Since this thread has been brought back to life: http://www.techtree.com/techtree/jsp/sh ... ryid=66831 Hitachi has announced new advancements in recording technology that the company hopes will set the stage for ultra-high capacities such as a 20 GB Microdrive or a one TB 3.5-inch hard drive. To achieve this, Hitachi demonstrated data density at 230 gigabits per square inch on perpendicular recording. The company believes that these densities will be implemented in commercial hard drive products in 2007. Perpendicular technology gets its name from the vertical alignment of data bits on the plane of the disk, which takes less room compared to the horizontal orientation of today's longitudinal recording technology. To be accurately recorded and read, the more closely packed perpendicular bits also require a closer association between the read/write head and the recording media. Hitachi achieved the 230 Gb per square inch density by manipulating the head and media so that the distance between them is 10 nanometers or 1/10,000th of a human hair. Within five to seven years, increasing performance with perpendicular recording could result in microdrives with 60 GB of storage capacity, the company said. Hitachi reportedly will actually come out with drives that use perpendicular-recording techniques toward the end of this year, but these drives will hold only around 2.5 GB to 2.9 GB per square centimeter - and will basically serve as a transitional technology. Longitudinal recording drives are expected to top out at 2.3 GB per square centimeter. "We are at the cusp of the most significant hard drive technology transition of the past decade, and it's one that holds so much promise for the hard drive and consumer electronics industries," said Jun Naruse, CEO, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies. "As the biggest supplier of small-form-factor hard drives, 2.5-inch and below, consumers' demand for storing more data on smaller devices has provided a strong impetus for us to pursue perpendicular recording with a greater sense of urgency," said Naruse. Perpendicular recording has its roots in the late 19th century work of Danish scientist Valdemar Poulsen, who is generally considered the first person to magnetically record sound using perpendicular recording.

HAH! Imagine if your computer had a brain... "Stupid fucking computer, close the goddanm window!" "I don't feel like it! You boss me around all the time!!!!" it's like some '90s cartoon or something.
