I'd love to hove one of those old ones...

I doubt they can fit 10GB... If not even 1...


Google started off with a LEGO frame to hold their harddrives It was cheap and easily expandable.

@Panki & @GP that's f'n awesome.

I might do that with raspberry pi.
raspberrypi.org

I can't remember if I found out about it through this site or not.

I think I read about this in a magazine :O
I'm going to get one of those aswell. Simply to play around with, or to use it as a server on LANs.
Although, you should rather get a bigger one instead of using multiple RPs.

Oh, I meant I was going to put it in a case made from lego's.

Ohh I see! Well I surely have enough parts to build a quite descent one ;_;

But we have SSDs down-a-days D:! Even the little notebook HDD is outdated >83.

SSDs are far from reaching the capacity or even the pricing of HDDs.

Hum, your right about capacity - they seem to currently top out at 256GB 512GB (2008) 1TB (2010) 2TB @ 1.5GB/s Transfer Rate (2009?) [This one's Huge though]. Still, more advanced in many ways :3 we all knows what's coming next - and it's coming up fast. Besides, the little notebook HDD probably doesn't reach that capacity, so technically... (the 512GB SSD can be found in 2.5", aka laptop size) .

Flash Memory can lose data an get unaccesible after some amount of time :l

 

[Austin]

Modern SSDs don't have that problem as much. They will become outdated long before we start seeing loss of or corrupted data. However, modern HDDs can still scratch :3 - especially the cheap ones. And you know what that means D:.

I never had a HDD scratch or get a headcrash o.o It should be safe, unless you drop it/move it while its working.
Also, 4k for 1TB? I got 3TB for 160€...

Well, price isn't relative to technology comparison, unless of course we're speaking practicality. I'm sure that massive frigger in the picture was a hella more moneys than the later generations of HDDs xD.

Ofcourse, but I'm very sure that's because of the material used.
