Seagate Barracuda 7200.11: 1.5TB of love

Jul 10th 2008 7:13PM on Engadget

Ugh, yet another person who doesn't understand numerical bases. HDD uses the SI definition of giga- (1000^3, base-10), which other memory is base-2 (SI definition is gibi-, 1024^3).

That was supposed to be 2TB.

Since when is it OK to lose 1/3 of your data? I don't know about you, but losing that much would cost me more than the extra drive.

Unless it's in my DVR, in which case I want 1 HUGE drive.

No, they said 2GB in 2009.

This is pretty significant, seeing as the FSN-HD channel on Twin-Cities Comcast hasn't even been a dedicated channel, or had more than one or two HD games each Saturday.

Who in their right mind would buy a Blu-ray player right now?

You aren't the only one. The extra features just aren't that compelling.

@Langdon:

I used to agree with you on the prefix thing, until someone explained it to me. Technically, the HDD industry is using the Giga prefix correctly. A Gibibyte is the IEC-approved prefix for 2^30 bytes.

That's what I was thinking. It's actually really easy: make an adapter cable that splits out the power pins. Then wire up the power pins to an AC-to-DC adapter of the correct voltage. I would probably add a capacitor at the drive side for good measure. That's it.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
