Azat Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 This proves that there is a God. http://www.lacie.com/products/product.cfm?...8250090278D3ED0 500GB of storage space in a portable 5.25" format Firewire enables drive. To think that 3 years ago I was working on a project on Wall Street with one of the largest brokerage houses and the entire data center had 11 terabytes of data on EMC drives that they had paid over $25 million for. you can get all that for 20K. Moore's Law is way too slow when it comes to storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azat Posted August 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 What Moore's Law? By 2005 IBM could be, possibly with its data storage partner Hitachi Global storage Technologies, producing postage-stamp-sized memory cards, each of which could hold several feature films or possibly an entire CD collection, says Tom Albrecht, manager of micro and nano-mechanics at IBM's Zurich research lab --- 'While noting that the power efficiency of computing has improved by a factor of a billion from the ENIAC computer of the 1950s to today's handheld devices, Williams says that fundamental physics indicates that it should be possible to compute even another billion times more efficiently. 'That would put the power of all of today's present computers in the palm of your hand,' Williams says. 'That says to me that the age of computing really hasn't even begun yet.' ' From: May 1, 2003 issue of IndustryWeek.com (http://www.industryweek.com/CurrentArticles/asp/articles.asp?ArticleId=1425) *Williams - R.
