Nov 25 '15 at 5:14, by bwDraco

At this point, SSDs have already exceeded the storage density of conventional hard drives.

Bob

Still a ways off in $/GB

Ramhound

by several factors

8TB is currently something like $200

I think..

amazon.com/Seagate-Desktop-External-Storage-STDT8000100/dp/…

hell 8TB external is $250

amazon.com/HGST-Western-Digital-Company-0F23668/dp/B00NP6ANY4/…

Likely the best HDD on the market is $500

Here we go at $250

amazon.com/Seagate-Archive-ST8000AS0002-128MB-Internal/dp/…

( yeah 8TB isn't mainstream at the faster speeds apparently )

that external is an amazing deal, got a 6TB just not 6 months ago at that price

bwDraco

I'd probably recommend 4TB drives for lowest cost per GB right now.

Bob

lol my rather ghetto-like radio setup

cheap-ish DAB+ radio

and that BT speaker from yesterday

bwDraco

Cost per GB starts to go up at 5 TB and becomes horrendous at 6 TB, so not really recommended unless you need maximum storage density.

Bob

5:05 AM

hey, it works

Ramhound

I plan on getting the highest density Seagate black ( 5 year warranty )

$0.03125/GB isn't bad.

Bob

O_O coles.com.au/customer-service/coles-radio

bwDraco

@Ramhound SSHD models are the fastest, although the 4TB model has a 5900 RPM spindle speed (rather than the 7200 RPM of smaller models). Higher storage density should make up for it, though.

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Hm. I'm getting some stations on 64kbps and some on 48kbps with HE-AAC v2.

ooh here's one with 112kbps

Journeyman Geek

@Bob is that the one with ludcious amounts of LEDs or the fountain?

Bob

very stuttery though :\

@JourneymanGeek The speaker with LEDs :P

Hm. Error rate is pretty low.

I wonder if 112kbps is too much for this radio to handle.

there's a 88kbps one

and a 40kbps. the worst yet

it's alright for a bit of background noise but not much else :P

bwDraco

There's a new 8 TB hard drive on the horizon, and it's not SMR. seagate.com/www-content/product-content/desktop-hdd-fam/en-us/…

Six platters, 1.33 TB each.

Also features the largest cache yet on a consumer hard drive, 256 MB. (HGST Ultrastar He10 helium-filled hard drives have 256 MB caches but these are enterprise drives.)

Curious. WD is doing no more than 5 platters on their air-filled drives, yet Seagate is doing 6 platters.

The 8 TB drive appears to have some significant changes to the drive's internal architecture compared to the 6 TB and lower models.

I thought turbulence was an issue with more than four or five platters?

Seagate really needs to come out with new SSHDs that have more NAND. 32 GB of NV cache would dramatically boost overall system performance. 8 GB only provides a limited boost depending on your application.

Ramhound

5:40 AM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ yes please

bwDraco

I understand how the drive avoids caching sequential I/O to make the most of the cache (random I/O is where it really matters), but 8 GB really isn't enough NAND to produce a substantial benefit.

Yes, it helps, but making the cache larger will make systems fly, making an SSHD with 32 GB of NAND a convincing alternative to an SSD especially in budget-constrained builds.

Bob

Meh. On a desktop I'd rather (and it's cheaper to) manage the cache myself on an independent drive.

On a laptop removing the spinning platter itself helps more.

@DavidPostill - Yes; Asking if something is legal or ethical is outside of the scope

We can't say if something is legal only if it violates say a EULA in most cases. We can't say something is unethical because an ethical action is determined by society and either accepted or ignored by indivuals

Bob

@Ramhound There has been a limited exception re: EULAs for large/popular pieces of software - especially Windows.

DavidPostill

@Ramhound Yes, pretty much what I thought.

Ramhound

@Bob - I took that into account. We can provide the terms of the license in say the case of Windows. Saying literally it is legal or not legal, if you are not an actual lawyer, is a problem in most regions of the world including the US.

Which is the reason people disclose they are not lawyers if they provide their "expert" opinion with regards to a legal topic

Anonymous

@Bob but site mods (diamonds) still can edit your chatroom if you base it in their site, right?

@Bob contract law is hard

Bob

5:41 PM

And whether <X> is allowed by the terms of the licence can be fairly clear-cut sometimes (e.g. "Can I install Windows in a VM")

@PatoSáinz Any network mod has full control over every chatroom on the entire network.

And that's actually a bit problematic at times, though it does come with its own advantages.

Ramhound

It really isn't. Since the only contract law we would care about is EULA, which in most cases, have been upheld to be legal in a court of law ( in most regions of the world) we can answers "is this legal" by looking at the EULA.

Bob

Anyway, in the event that a mod "goes rogue", that's when you can try to bring it above them to the SE team.

If they don't provide a way and you don't agree with a chance. You can take them to court in most cases ( or binding arbitration )

However, they could just set a flag on your account saying "don't share this guy's data".

That's also valid.
