I have one WD black which I think is a more expensive drive. I have to |
27 |
say, when I run hdparm -tT on it, it is faster than the other "regular" |
28 |
drives that claim the same specs, SATA etc etc. They do cost more tho. |

While I was looking for this new drive, I looked into a 4TB drive. I am |
32 |
still trying to get my jaw back up off the floor. Holy sheep. They are |
33 |
still fairly proud of some of those puppies. I did notice they have a 5 |
34 |
and 6TB one now. O_O Double holy sheep. I think I lost my jaw now. |

Good bye nose, hello China. :-( |

Well, one of these days we will be talking about getting 6TB drives for |
38 |
$50 and how much we want a 20TB drive, to put all our worthless junk |
39 |
on. lol Oh, we will still complain about how they die to soon too. |

We may even have CPUs that run at light speed with many dozens of cores, |
41 |
but still to dang slow. ;-) Pass the rice please. |
