JerAir1587249581 Posted August 29, 2002 Author Share Posted August 29, 2002 Just think of it... Someone just thought it up... and at the rate of technology is growing, expect another cool invention pretty soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'jais Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Very exciting indeed.... *Said the guy with a puny 15 GB HD* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerAir1587249581 Posted August 29, 2002 Author Share Posted August 29, 2002 I've got a 60 gig drive but I only have 1009 MHz and JKII freezes in multiplayer (but It's about to get fixed I think) I'm still not sure about the 1024 Megabytes thing.

Forinec Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 *Imagines attaching an air conditioner to the back of his PC* *Shudders* How much power would you need in a household to use a terrabyte's worth of a holographic cube??? And how much heat does the thing give off? *Thinks of the air conditioner again.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus the name "Kilo" (thousand) in kilobyte, etc. the true MB is 1024 KB ...... but 1000 is often used to give easier numbers thats y the sticker on yer HDD will say 1 thing and windows another i dont know how to prove it ... but its true edit: its to do with 1024 being a binary number 2^10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerAir1587249581 Posted August 29, 2002 Author Share Posted August 29, 2002 hmmmmmmm........ The hard drive itself wouldn't need very much power... but the hd chip probably would... or the prossesor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerfYoda Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 These wacky holographic & microship hard drives have been in development/testing for some time now. When I see it on the CompUSA shelves I'll start drooling, but for now its just its just a "cool idea" that's not entirely realistic yet. As for the cooling thing. Would a holographic hard drive get hot at all? I don't think the CPU or drive controller would suck up any more power or generate any more heat. They make ATA100 30G drives & ATA100 300G drives now. The only difference is the size, not how fast the data will come out of em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 id imagine a holo HDD would heat up ..... a fair amount .... lasers have alot of energy in em and to make a terabyte usable theres gotta be quite a few "heads" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerAir1587249581 Posted September 1, 2002 Author Share Posted September 1, 2002 It uses light, not lasers. and It would probably wouldn't get hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 lasers are light .... just excited to the point it can cut thru stuff like high pressure water also even if they do use normal light (which i doubt) it still heats stuff up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerAir1587249581 Posted September 2, 2002 Author Share Posted September 2, 2002 I Think they will be using VERY low intensity lasers and the generator for the lasers (must be very small) would give off more heat than the lasers itself, but the lasers would give off 3-5 degrees of heat.

CagedCrado Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Clem is right on the 1024 thing, and there are 8 bits in a byte, 1024 bytes in a kilobyte and 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte because if it was 1000 your computer would light on fire because it dosent understand those numbers. (well really really old computers mostly) and because the language computers talk to themselves with is in binary code, which is 0s and ones such as: 000100101001001001000010100100100101001000100001 or maybe 01010 might mean A or whatever.

TheWhiteRaider Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I do not doubt it. Heck 20 or more years ago 50k was the best hard drive out their. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY_jmr1 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 y'all are right on the money about the correct binery 2^10 and all... but the next step after terabyte is a Petabyte... y'all's was close, but not quite... I think my head is gonna explode thinking about that... the example I was given was that a petabyte can hold all of the writen works of the world, and the next step after that, a Exobyte(I think) can hold every spoken word ever uttered by humankind since the begining of time... think about THAT for a second...

Possible. Every letter on a page is a byte. So a giga-byte can hold about 1,000,000,000 letter so an exobyte would be about 1,000,000,000,000,000(1 * 10/15) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Thats all confusing, but think of what they'll do in the future, like the PS9 commercial.....what kind of stuff theyll have then, heck by the time the PS9 would come out, it would be in about 35 yrs.....and ill be around 50 yrs. old...scary to think, huh?

Nope 1.It isn't That old 2.I like computers and I think this is a neat topic 3.technology is growing faster than ever so in about a year or so It might be out but really expensive and without this thread you would have no idea what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 i predict that that stuff will be out in 2016. Oh and spy you bet me to the petabyte > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerAir1587249581 Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 2016??? maybe 2008 at the very latest but 2016 sounds waaay into the future. by that time we will have gone to mars!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 They still have to solve some problems which they'll have to invent solutions rather than find them. Also the storage could be very dodgy. They'll have to find a way to make things store with Light! very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerAir1587249581 Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 It's in physics, somehow light interference can store data. In this case, a terrabyte! It's pretty neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
