antally Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 If it truly took 500gigs to store 3.5 hours of video, you would need to transfer about 400megs/second. That's FAR beyond typical HD speeds today(and even farther behind todays optical drive speeds). Besides, what's the point of uncompressed video (and who would even think about storing uncompressed HDTV video?)? It bugs me when reporters change facts to sensationalize news.

Post-It Note Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 That's pretty nice. I couldn't imagine backing up 500 gigs of data onto that (unless maybe back it to 2 disks). Well I said the same about DVD's but I stil don't backup twice. Still waiting for that cheap solid-state memory with DDR ram speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshuggah Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) Because HD-video 1920x1080i compressed in MPEG4 takes about 100 mb per minute, MPEG2 even more of that...I have a bunch of moves and music videos recorded from HDTV and they take alot of space :blink: 585221472[/snapback] yup i have an hdtv rip of a Slipknot concert (well only 2 songs) its not encoded at all....7 1/2 mins long and its about 1.2gb big i could have swarn somewhere that 250gb is about 24 hours of hdtv....because my DVR box can capture up to 24 hours of hdtv...and it has a 250gb hard drive....heh, i dunno :::::12 centimeters = 4.72440945 inches With its huge storage capacity, Pioneer's 12cm thick silver platter will store the amount of data that would require 100 typical DVDs today. is that the right pic of the disc then? or do they mean 12cm in diameter?

Vice Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 thats for optical drives, but from about a month or so i saw 3 types of HardDisk drives at my friend's store branded: LaCie .. they are external disks and can be connected via Firewire400/800 and USB2.0.. the sizes are: 500GB, 1TB, 1.5TB :D 585223703[/snapback] yer they have been arround for a while, but inside the case there are multiple drives (in raid I belive) not 1 big drive.
