This is a novelty of little practical use. 3*160gb drives will cost far less and can be used in a raid array to deliver superior perf depending upon the application. And dont flame me saying that in ten years 1TB will b the norm.Muhahahahahaaa...

lol'z sid and brendon ... hv u ever thought of connectivity ??? and 1 major factor ... The Milestone !!! guys @ hitachi know tht the freakin hdd gets heated up alot ... and is an avg performer ... but then ... man ... ITS A FIRST FREAKIN 400 GB HDD !!! and i also agree tht 2 or 3 drives configured in raid would give a better performance !!!

by Ashish Mulik, mumbai, on Aug 05, 2004 03:36 AM, Report abuse   Reply

Yeah Sid I agree. Even two 200 GB SATA hard disks are abt 16000 and raiding them will give better performance at lower price
