Nah, that wouldnt be efficient.

The plates in the HDD are circular, the hdd itself is a rectangle and the circle has to fit in it. The bigger you make the rectangle, the bigger the circles would be, but then the useless corners get also bigger.

 

Many Cheddar = Many Cheese

Many Cheddar = Many Holes

The more Cheddar, the less Cheddar.

 

That's idiotic, the larger radius means exponential growth in storage space, it's not a linear increment, it's exponential. The farther from the centre you are, the more surface area there is. That's why the bigger the better.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

They need to bring 5.25" HDDs back. A 25TB HDD should be doable.

THIS YES, THIS RIGHT HERE. I have only 1 5.25" bay used and that is for an LED Controller. Other than that I would so effin use these HDDs

One of these would be great, I would love to have my collection all on one hard drive rather than several 1 and 2 TB HDDs. And for people asking how we fill this much space, lets be honest.. its not just for Pr0n, a pirate has a mighty stash of treasure.

So are these drives going to be reliable and fast?

I personally don't enjoy 9-string guitars, but that doesn't change the fact that they look awesome as hell!

What are you people doing to fill all this space?

I can't even fill a 1TB drive and that is including all my music (in FLAC, no less) & games.

Are you really just downloading all the porn on the internet and if so, why? You can always get it again later (same with movies and TV btw).

 

Video editing eats up a lot of space...

For everyone complaining about reliability: It's not going to be an issue.

  1. They most likely won't be adding platters, but rather increasing the density of existing platters using their new HAMR tech. There isn't enough space in a 3.5 inch drive to get these capacities with current platters.
  2. They won't release a new hard drive model with significantly worse failure rates than they currently have. Plain and simple. It wouldn't make sense from a business perspective.

I'll be excited for the storage show-off thread once these kinds of drives begin to show up.

 

My complaint is!!!! All drives fail. That's it :mellow:

 

Anyway, first off this is a REPOST! We talked about this to death back when they first announced it several months ago.

Second, more space is great! Who does not like more? Just like more RAM, more CPU cores, more GPU cores, more GPU RAM, more Disk space is a welcome relief if not bonus!

 

Those wanting to be all paranoid/hipster I can sell you some 80Gig Drives so you can quell your data fears or hipster needs. :blink:

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

I doubt it is a repost. I was looking really hard to find if it is before I posted it. Only thing I could find was regarding 6TB WD & Seagate drives. That was several months ago.

 

And you are right.. every drive dies eventualy. Nothing last forever. But that is kind of obvious (for most of us :D ).

I could totally use an 10tb drive EASY. I rip all my videos/music in the highest quality. Hell, a single bluray is like 20 gigs.

Currently I have 4 HDDS and two SSds stuffed into my HTPC.

And me sitting here with 2tb of storage, and well, i use 500gb and the 1.5gb when i record with fraps xD

Whilst I understand that a bigger drive does != a higher failure rate,  the problem is that 9/10 I own the drive that does fail, and the thought of having all my eggs in one basket is a bit daunting. 

 

I would love to be able to setup a raid so that I can have some form of redundancy in my storage setup, but the thought of getting another 3 drives is causing my wallet to pucker. :blink:

Those drives are actually made for enterprise environments like servers and data centers, we won't see consumer grade 10TB drives for a long time. Also, some people actually need/want that much storage because they have a huge movie and music collection or because they do video editing (raw video data eats up a ton of storage).

I like this idea, not for the space necessarily, but because I could rip all those damn HDD cages away from blocking airflow.

And utilize my empty 5.25" bays, except for my DVD drive. I love that thing to death. And cheap.

I already did this in my BitFenix Survivor, and used one of these:

Simply turning 3x 5.25" bays into 5x 3.5" hotswap bays. Drilled out the original HDD cage and mounted a 180mm Silverstone Air Penetrator in the bottom, directed directly at the 2x R9 290s. Awesome temps.

Why so? I am using Seagate for years and never had any problems. Same with WD. I just prefer Seagate because they are cheaper and give me same reliability.

i ordered 2 1 TB Seagate Barracudas, RMA'd them both because they didn't work at all so i got a Western Digital.
