Scarecrow Man Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 The OneTouch III Turbo Edition comes in 600GB and 1,000GB portions and supports connections to both Macs and PCs via USB 2.0 and various flavours of FireWire....They also support RAID 1 and RAID 0 configurations. ...The drives are on sale from December, although UK pricing has yet to be confirmed.1,000GB.... :drool:StoryEDIT: Thanks CurlyWhirly..

CurlyWhirly Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 storySM, your above link didn't work so I posted the above.

-pops- Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I'm scared to put all my information and backup(s) on to a single storage device so I would need two of these things (at least). Another thing, what do I do with all of the capacity I couldn't possibly use? Hire it out to the rest of the village?Would I have to sell my house to afford them, I wonder?No, not for me, nor anyone I can think of either.

Scarecrow Man Posted October 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Link is now fixed.Pops, that is a valid point. This drive is likely to be used by video and sound production, not for average joe to backup his 30gb hard drive. The story just points out that it is available to consumers, not just large scale business. If you feel you need 1,000GB, then this may be your solution. I for one, even if I needed 1,000GB, would string 2 500GB or even better 4 250GB together. This is the whole purpose of RAID (in some forms) to have a backup or parity drive incase one drive fails.

Craig Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 My first come computer had a 500mb hard drive, and when I upgraded to a new computer in 1998 with a 3.2GB I didn’t know what to do with all the space!Now I have 3 hard drives with space up to 700GB and I am slowly filling this applications and junk downloads.Hard drives currently come in a maximum of 500GB, so in a couple of years or so, 1 Terabyte drives will become mainstream. I currently only see a market for professionals or businesses, but in the longer term, home users will also benefit from the new terabyte drives.In ten years (or sooner), Petabyte drives (1024 x 1TB) will possibly be the norm!That’s evolution!
