I remember when the biggest HDD was………shut up old man!
At $60/TB (Amazon price), it's not even like you're paying a premium for this drive, which is crazy!
Hell even the 8TB @ Amazon works out to $55/TB
YEah, i remember one of my first drives with 80MB
My first HD upgrade was a 6.2TB 3.5" Seagate that cost me $200 :) in 1998
Upgraded a 1.9TB 3.5TB drive with loads of bad sectors that caused windows 98 to crash and need to be reinstalled every 2 weeks :) fun times. I'm only 35I'm younger than you and I can remember hdds below 1TB ;) First PC was a pentium 75MHz…
Odd, I don't recall 1TB HDDs even being available back in 1998.
Surely would be 620gb…
They were, I bought one for our server at work, about $1000 for the 1TB, I am guessing '93 or so ? … backing it up to mag tape took foreverrrr…and was horribly unreliable… I was running Novell 3.X from memory, with a combination of SCO Unix (I think) on a couple desktops, and Win 3.11 for Workgroups on most desktops ….
@ruprectaus: I assume you mean 'There were' however I can't find any reference to 1TB HDDs being available that early… Hitachi supposedly released the first commercial 1TB HDD back in 2007… Even then, $200 for 6.2TB back in 1998? I doubt that.
He may have meant GB, my first x86 PC ~94 was a 486DX2-66 and 400MB was the average HDD size.
For the record kids there were no TB hard drives in 1998. At least not consumer grade
You definitely mean Gb. 6Tbs in '98… pfft. I remember in that date upgrading to an 80gb Seagate from 20gb. That cost me about $180.
lol. 4GB HDD in a IBM Aptiva!
-O/S
-Counterstrike
-Everquest
-Diablono more room lol.
My Aptiva only had a 2gb HDD
Still got it, full working condition
I feel bad throwing it out when it cost ~ $3000
I saw my first 10Mb, Hermetically sealed HDD (12" platter)in the 1980's at Apple Works in St Leonards - Cost $10,000 back then
An overnighter should you need to defragment this beast on a full stomach.
Use better filesystem and you can forget defrag.
You won't need to defrag it if you are storing large files on it.
Why you would buy 10TB for anything else I'm not sure..
same reason a guy buys his Ferrari in canary Yellow …. CUZ HE CAN .. hehehehehe
Canary yellow? That colors Australian gold my friend!
I wanted it for my Word documents :D
you wasting valuable storage space. text files FTW.
I have acknowledged the Amazon price in the post, so don't hate on me! Searched SI before Amazon (and then noticed it posted here). $50 premium for a more local store.
Best bang-for-buck is still the 8TB @ Amazon
Im waiting for the Airwolf edition…
"Warranty: 3 years" (confirmed on Seagate website). Little short&scary for this cost.
Same as a new Holden ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Or pay with an AMEX Platinum and various other cards with double warranty.. (upto 5 years)
Having a look at the site it's a consume/small business model. They do have a 10TB Enterprise NAS drive with 5 years.
Price is higher per TB than it is for 8TB and 6TB drives.
No bargain here, in my opinion.Higher storage drives when new are rarely cheaper/TB than lower models. Some people would just prefer a single drive.
That all depends how much storage you need.
If you only have four bays.. it might be worth it.
I have 24 bays myself :D
Its not always about the price per TB. Some people have limitation on number of bay, electrical power or weight.
That, and the amount of data could play a part. If you need to store 9TB or between 16TB to 20TB you might prefer one or two of these over two or three 8TB drives.
Factor in duplication and number of drive bays cans become an issue pretty quickly in many systems.
I have 5 TB free on my 16TB (4 x 4TB) drivepool on my microserver. Why am I even wanting one of these?
Can fit the whole Ron Jeremy collection on one drive, who would have thought!
How much do you lose after formatting (NTFS)? i.e. what is the usable capacity?
The standard amount. Its the same percentage on all drive sizes.
9.3TB~
So this isnt a "archive" drive? I need to update my 4tb drives in my microserver. Maybe when these come down in price it will be easier to do :)
Nope, it is a NAS drive (designed to always be on), but seems its a new line they've brought out for the
bigger sizesActually it's from 1TB on. So just a new line
http://www.seagate.com/au/en/internal-hard-drives/ironwolf/you can use a NAS drive for archives BUT you shouldn't use archive drives as a NAS.
Yeah I've seen all the failure rates of those "Archive" hdds
7200 RPM, 256 MB cache. Curiously uses less power than the 8 and 6 TB drives. Nice.
wow. brings back memories of first upgrade to a 1.2GB hard disk, had to catch up to a friend who had 2 x 600MB hard disks, i was jealous lol.
and now its 10TB, how most excellent lol
Would you trust Seagate with 10TB on a single spindle? Nothing but trouble that brand even in enterprise scenarios unless they have stepped up their game in recent years.
Agree. Never trust new HDD tech from anyone, not just seagate. Wait for 12 months of reviews to gauge reliability.
People frequently complain about Seagate here for some reason. For the record, I wouldn't trust 10TB of data on a single drive with any manufacturer. Storage these days is quite cheap. I've got a mixture of drives on arrays with nightly rsync mirrors to other drives. The Seagates have been powered on for more than 3 years and haven't shown any signs of failure. Who cares if the Seagate drive fails if you have decent redundancy in place (raidz2 or mirroring), in addition to a decent backup strategy?
That's the thing, most people don't. Not sure I'd be confident with only raidz2 unless pools are at low capacity and resilvering doesn't take ages.
Current $/GB:
4TB ST4000DM000 $176 = $44/GB
6TB ST6000AS0002 $289 = $48.1/GB
8TB ST8000AS0002 $332 = $41.5/GB
10TB $609 (Amazon) = $60.9/GBSeems the sweet spot is in the 8TB drives at the moment.
Also 8TB drives are reporting to be very reliable - https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-failure-rates-q2-2…
For a different model, kipps listed the Seagate Archive drives which are a bit slower in sustained writes. I don't know how reliable the Archive drives are.
They are sheet. Archive ones aren't built for NASs
So.. Any NAS deals for me to pop this one in? Missed the CTECH ):
Thats a lot of pr0n
Not if 4K porn.
Gynaecolog: no, Miss X, you don't need to come in for an appointment, your last movie shoot gave me enough details.
Glorious glorious gigabytes :)
