1 terabyte disk


times are a changin

what next, apples with a 2nd mouse button??

Shotgun!

el oh el deathstar

$550 Pre-Order per unit.

$1650 for a 2TB RAID5 is quite impressive.

heh thought thread was about a 1 terrabyte CD

$550 for a 1Tb drive is damn good given how much the 750's were when they came out. Still I'd steer clear of the deathstar and wait for a seagate version.

you know the deathstars had the problems with they were made by IBM. now they're hitachi, they're better now

a s***eload better... still - there's the stigma

mass porn storage woot!

I remember scuzzy posted ages ago a small enclosure thing that you could chuck in 2 drives and run them (I think via USB) in RAID or something. Does anyone know anything like that?

I need to massively increase my backup storage available; my email alone is up to around 5gb and my work docs and other data stuff like my photos and mp3 collection continues to grow unabated. I want to be able to do incremental and periodic snapshots of a bunch of s*** and I really need lots of space, so I was thinking about grabbing one of those enclosure things and chucking in a few 500gb drives.

the network-attached ones for home users are starting to get pretty decent, this double SATA drive dealie from D-Link that supports striping, mirroring, or spanning the disks, and has GB lan and some other neat features

course it's byo disks, the unit itself is like $300 but for what it can do that's not all bad

That looks cool but it's a bit more hardcore than what I was after really - I just want something that I can throw disks in, plug in via USB and bam, another USBN drive.

You think they woulda changed the model name after the disasters that were the old deskstar's...

Thecus N2050U

There is a network attached version too.

that list of apparently unsupported drives is interesting ara, even if it is a couple of years old

you know the deathstars had the problems with they were made by IBM

They used glass platters which gave them no end of grief in the end...

ara, that looks perfect, though as jim says the unsupported drives is a little weird. I'm sure the retailer will be able to tell me what drives will work with it though AMIRITE?

CA have a few other thecus products which look a little beefier, including 4 and 5 HDD versions (looks like it might be aight for the office jim :)

yeah was thinking the same thing, specially chocked full of 1tb disks

what next, apples with a 2nd mouse button??

the apple mighty mouse does have a right click feature.

from their website re: the 2050

HDD Capacity 80/120/160/200/250/300/400/500GB and above

I would say the link on AusPcMarket's website is just out of date.

I was after one for Raid-5, and it was f***ing retardedly expensive so I didn't bother, This is the newer version of that product: http://tinyurl.com/295tmv
