$60 for an enclosure that takes only one hd tho the only nice thing about the netgeat units is that they take 2 drives thats why i bought one downside is tho that you need drivers installed to see them :(

you;re a terabyte drive

I am salivating!!!!!!!

if it fails... that would totally suck

I wanted to buy a netgear but I heard some much bad thing about it that I went instead with the terraStation:

It has 4 x 250 hardrives in it.

I gotta pick up one of those.. how much do they go for?

I was reading up on this product the other day and the initial reaction wasn't favourable... apart from the proprietary file system and Windows-only driver requirement it DOESN'T offer seamless recovery when a drive fails. You need to copy the data off the device, replace the drive, format, then copy it back over. There were also complaints that the read/write time was super slow due to Netgear's designers using an underpowered CPU (the tech guy replying compared it with a 486 class CPU)

If I knew more about embedded Linux I'd probably pick one up just to have a hack and turn it into a genuine SMB server with a standard mirror filesystem... but I don't. :winkwink:

nope did not buy a 750 Gb Hard drive yet.. but its fucking allot of storage :)

Fuck!
I remember once buying a 10 gig HD at Futureshop, and The girl at the counter was amazed that I could need so much storage! She had never sold a 10 gig drive before:1orglaugh

Now that drive barely contains more than my OS

Here for 50 X 750Gb drives:thumbsup

I have a 5Mb (megabyte) full height 5.25" clunker that was given to me for shock value. :1orglaugh It would have cost literally thousands when it was purchased.

quite amazing.. you all must be doing heavy duty video stuff..

Im always dissapointed 40gig IDE's are hard to get so i settle with 80.. ive never used more than 20 gigs storage.. cant imagine the need for 100's..

The bigger the disk the bigger the chance something will fuck

I have a 750 gb harddrive, not installed though, have 660 gigs of storage in my system at the moment, going to add the 750 to it soon, I download lots of movies and episodes of stuff like Aqua Teen HUnger Force and Drawn Together

*edit*
FIrst post didnt show immediately so I posted again, damn GFY lol

Pics? :D

My first hard drive was 5 Mb...

I backed up my digital photo dir today and it was 237Gb. That's only about 20,000 images although I do save in RAW format which is larger (up to 20Mb per image). I can't imagine the amount of storage that volume content providers must go through...

Raw miniDV footage also consumes about 13Gb per hour

that is a realy good thing to know. One thing I am needing 2 know!:thumbsup
