Solve : Samsung stuffs 1.5TB onto three-platter hard drive?

Answer»

Crazy 149 for 1.5TB.

Samsung Electronics Co. today announced its first 500GB-per-platter hard drive. The EcoGreen F2EG hard disk delivers up 1.5TB of capacity on three platters. Because the drive has FEWER platters and therefore fewer moving parts, Samsung claimed that the drive is more reliable than past iterations of multiplatter, high-capacity hard disk drives.

QUOTE

The 1.5TB version of the EcoGreen F2EG has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $149.

I saw that a couple weeks ago on newegg. I was amazed! Actually, the first 1tb hdd amazed me... 1.5TB on a 3-platter hard drive? Pfft.

Look at my 2TB Micro SD Card:

I cant wait! Mabye they should try to make at least 750gb zune hard drives. I accually could use 750gb on my zune... I really couldToo bad they happen to make the worst HDD's out there....
But promising nonethelessQuote from: computeruler on March 13, 2009, 03:36:53 PM

For what? 160Gb is 40,000 songs...... 18,000 @ 192kbps tool up 93gb Quote from: computeruler on March 17, 2009, 03:59:18 PM
18,000 @ 192kbps tool up 93gb

that' pretty much what kpac said- rephrased.

let's see- 93GB/18,000= approximately 5.3 MB for each song.

5.3MB*40,000= 206.66GB


HOWEVER- we must take into account that most music space measurements use 128kbps despite it sucking SEVERELY- so reduce the size another third, to around 137GB.

naturally chopping off a third from the bitrate won't translate directly into a third reduction in size, so CHANCES are it will really be around 160GB for 40,000 songs.

The end.My math was different
I have 3600 songs at 130vbr some at 128 and it takes up 10gb. i got 40,000 songs as TAKING 108 57600 of those vbr songs could fit in 160GB. Ok3600 times 16.too much math!Start --> Run --> Type calc.exe and press Enter.that helps lol
