Journal eglamkowski's Journal: forget terabytes 4

Journal by eglamkowski on Monday April 02, 2007 @09:40AM

I need a yottabyte drive.

1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes, or 1024^8, or 2^80

Man, that would sure be enough diskspace to not have to give a damn about running out of diskspace on these 2 terrabyte data processing jobs.

I wonder what the seek time would be on a disk that size... :-p

Sure, running Winders, the daily disk defrag time is going to run 28+ hours.... But the real question is: doing a backup to floppy disks - will the station wagon need beefed up springs? ;-)
