| 66730 | 2002-07-30 08:51:00 | i've just seen the price list for them. 200 gigs of hardrive pleasure will set you back well over $1000 each. anyone want to put two of them in RAID0 ? btw price list had 8meg cache version which western digital site doesn't say they make. could anyone actully fill up one of those? how would you do backups? 300+ cd's? |

| 66731 | 2002-07-30 09:04:00 | 200GB is more than i could ever use. even with all my MP3's :-) as for backup i would get a BIG tape back up system swap tapes a lot. or DVD writer?? just think in 18 months you will be able to get 400GB at that price :-) |

| 66732 | 2002-07-30 09:25:00 | It's ideally for BIG servers with database and stuff. but 200gig.........i reckon it's a bit too big. | boom23 (176) | ||

| 66734 | 2002-07-30 09:31:00 | Hard drive VCR's are on the market in USA. I beleve thay are called "tivio" or some such. 40Gb hard drives in a box that can record 20 or more hours.... I gather that you can get them in some other parts of the world dont know about NZ |

| 66738 | 2002-07-30 10:42:00 | I could fill one of those up. Let me see, oggs and mp3s at higher bitrates... or just store the whole CD and be done with it. Keep images of all my CDs on the harddrive and run them virtually so that it is faster. When the space is there, you will always find a way to fill it up. Oh and ofcourse one of my longtime plans. To have an overly large bootmenu. Windows XP Windows 2000 Windows ME Windows 98 Windows 95 Windows 3.11 Windows 1.0 Mandrake Redhat Debian Gentoo OpenBSD NetBSD FreeBSD BeOS |
