http://www.anandtech.com/show/3858/the-worlds-first-3tb-hdd-seagate-goflex-desk-3tb-review

[kaspir]

Keegi oskaks praegu soovitada välist ketast, mida võib usaldada, et kuhu pilte hallata? Hakkaks lauapeal seisma ja USB2'ga ühendan arvuti külge. Nii 1500-2000 piiri võiks jääda.(võib ka odavam) Suurus 1Tb (võib ka suurem)

[Tomorrow]

Avastasin ühe huvitava WD ketta mis paistab olema NewEgg exclusive.Pluss on see, et 1,5TB Black,Sata 6GB/s ja 64MB Cache umbes 1,3k eest .500GB platterid ja muus osas identne 2TB FASS mudeliga:

Sobib päris hästi neile kes tahavad suuremat kui 1TB aga ei taha 2TB hinda maksta.Samas tahavad ka head kiirust.

Seagate Momentus XT: The Best of Both Worlds?
SilentPCReview

[diizel]

Sooviks võimalikult töökindlat ja kiiret 1TB ketast. Müra ei ole absoluutselt oluline, sest tegemist mänguarvutiga ja videokaart möllab niikuinii üle
Hinnapiir: 1200.-

Samsa F3 on endal silma jäänud, ehk on midagi veel paremat?

[DefconV]

Tahaks ka soetada endale storage ketast, millepealt filme vaadata, muusikat kuulata. Midagi mahuga 2TB. Et mis näitajad olulised on? Kui random access on üle 20 ms, siis on kehvasti vist?
2TB-sed siis. Kas hitachi 7k2000 või wd caviar black WD2001FASS?

Seagate's New Self-Encrypting HDD First To Win Key U.S. Government Certification.
X-bit labs

Spoiler

tsitaat:

Seagate Technology has announced a new hard disk drive with self-encryption chip that had received FIPS 140-2 certification from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The drive is aimed at various regulated industries, including healthcare, defense and finance. The company hopes that the novelty will dramatically boost popularity of self-encrypting drives (SEDs). The key government certification clears the way for deployments of Momentus SEDs by all U.S. and Canadian federal agencies, many state and local governments, and regulated industries such as healthcare, finance and defense required to use FIPS-certified gear to help protect sensitive data on PCs and computer networks. Many utility, education and transportation entities also have adopted the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) 140-2 standard to lock down confidential information. Foreign governments in addition to Canada also recognize FIPS-validated products. The Momentus self-encrypting drive is the first hard drive with native encryption to earn the FIPS certification. Seagate Momentus hard disk drives with FIPS-compliant encryption are available in 250GB and 500GB capacities and feature 7200rpm spindle speed. The drives are designed for Serial ATA-300 interface and are equipped with 16MB cache. Based on specifications, it is unlikely that the new SEDs will offer leading-edge performance, however, the main advantage of the novelty is security, not performance. The AES encryption chip in the Momentus SEDs automatically and transparently encrypts all drive data, not just selected files or partitions. The 2.5"drive also eliminates disk initialization and configuration required by encryption software, allows IT administrators to instantly erase all data cryptographically so the drive can be quickly and easily redeployed, and delivers full inline-speed encryption with no impact to system performance. Momentus SEDs keep all security keys and cryptographic operations within the drive, separating them from the operating system to provide greater protection against hacking and tampering than traditional software alternatives, which can give thieves backdoor access to encryption keys and are otherwise more vulnerable to key theft. The FIPS 140-2 seal of approval comes three years after NIST, the federal agency focused on promoting product innovation by establishing technical standards for government and business, certified the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) chip built into the Momentus drive. Seagate has shipped more than a million of its self-encrypting laptop drives since their introduction in 2006. With the Seagate Momentus with FIPS 140-2 the company hopes to sell another million of SEDs in calendar 2011.

Loodan, et see küsimus sobib ikka sellesse teemasse. Nimelt selline küsimus siis, kas SATA II ketas töötaks SATA I pordis? Nimelt tahaks arvutist, millel on SATA I pesa paar faili ümber copyda sellele SATA II kettale. Kettaks WD 1TB EARS ja süsteemiks win 7. Muidu ketta peal midagi jumperite asetuse kohta kirjas pole, peale win xp max performance juhendi.

[kriimsilm]

Muidugi töötab...

Oli plaanis osta väline ketas piltide arhiveerimiseks.
Täna aga lugesin erinevaid teemasid ja jäi selline mulje, et need tahavad kergesti katki minna. Peamisteks põhjusteks nende liigutamise tagajärjel tekkida võivad põrutused ja kuumenemine. Kas mu kartused on nüüd üle pingutatud või ongi see nii?

Sai siis mõeldud, et ehk osta hoopis 3,5" ketta ja see arvutisse panna. Sest kuhu ma seda välist ketast ikka tirin. Arvutis sees on põrituste eest rohkem kaitstud ja ka üle kuumenemise oht ehk väiksem. Ning ainult vajadusel ühendan kõvaketta arvutiga ära, et pilte juurde kopeerida või midagi üles otsida.

Siin küll mainiti, et sata II ketas töötab sata I pordis. Aga kas võib juhtuda, et mingil põhjusel ei hakka tööle? Või on see asi välistatud?

Western Digital To Ship 3 TB Hard Disk Drives!
TechARP

Spoiler

tsitaat:

Western Digital launched the industry's first 2 TB hard disk drive back in January of 2009, the 2 TB WD Caviar Green. This was followed up by the Hitachi 7K2000 in August 2009 - the first 2 TB hard disk drive with a spindle speed of 7,200 RPM. Unfortunately, there has been no further progress since then. It was not for a lack of trying though. Every hard disk drive manufacturer in the world has to deal with the problem of the 2.1 TB capacity limit, which was brought about by the LBA addressing limit in 32-bit operating systems. This problem can be solved by switching to 48-bits Long LBA, but this will only work with newer 64-bit operating systems. There was also the issue of updating the GUID Partition Table (GPT) to support Master Boot Record partitions that are larger than 2.1 TB. The good news is that they are close to a solution. Western Digital laid the groundwork by shipping the first Advanced Format hard disk drives which feature a much larger 4 KB physical sector. The larger sector does not only make more efficient use of available platter space (improving storage capacity by 7-11%), it will also help circumvent the LBA addressing limit. For more information on Advanced Format and its effect on performance, please take a look at The Western Digital Advanced Format Performance Comparison Guide. Therefore, it was no surprise when Seagate announced that they would ship their 3 TB hard disk drive by the end of this year. Western Digital has yet to announce anything - they have a policy of not announcing products until the actual launch date. However, we have just confirmed that Western Digital will be launching their 3 TB hard disk drives in mid-October. The exact date has not been determined but it will happen in the next 2-3 weeks. Our source says all three main models (Caviar Black, Caviar Blue and Caviar Green) will be upgraded to 3 TB. In addition, Western Digital will also upgrade their external drives to 3 TB. Eventually, Western Digital will offer 3 TB versions of media players like the newly-launched WD Elements Play and the future WD TV Live Hub. The new Western Digital 3 TB hard disk drives will be available for sale at launch, or very soon thereafter. For certain, they will be available in quantity this Christmas season. Western Digital's timing is impeccable. Unless Seagate beats them to the punch, Western Digital is set to be the first to launch and ship 3 TB hard disk drives. We will update this article with more details, as and when we receive them. So check back often!

Hitachi-lt 750GB tuleb läpaka kettad

Hitachi launches new high-capacity 2.5in drives
HEXUS

Spoiler

tsitaat:

Both the Travelstar 5K750 and 7K750 boast 375GB per platter in a two-platter drive for a total of 750GB of portable storage. Both models will also be available in 500GB and 640GB varieties, and are the first Hitachi drives to use Advanced Format. This means that the physical sector size has been increased from 512 to 4096 (4k) bytes, allowing for more efficient storage and higher-capacity drives in the future. The 5K750 will spin at 5,400rpm and make use of an 8MB buffer. Low spindle-speeds mean that these drives will only draw 0.5W at idle and 1.4W during read/write operations. The 7K750 drives will run at a speedier 7,200rpm, get the use of a larger 16MB buffer and draw only 1.8W under load. According to the manufacturer, this drive has the lowest power-specifications in its class, providing an excellent compromise between performance and efficiency. Of course, Hitachi isn't the first to the 750GB party - both Western Digital and Toshiba already have high-capacity drives available in a 9.5mm form-factor. However, neither manufacturer currently offers high-speed 2.5in drives with this much storage, making the new Travelstar HDDs the only 7,200rpm option at this capacity. The 5K750 drives are currently shipping in volume, with retail kits arriving sometime in November for $129.99 (£101 inc VAT). Anyone lusting after the faster 7K750 will have to wait until the new year, as they won't be released until sometime in Q1 2011.

Ei tea, kas peaks praegu ootama natukene ketaste ostuga või ei? Huvitaks just WD ja võimalikult suur maht.
