7K200 on the horizon

#1 Post by w0qj » Thu Nov 02, 2006 11:13 am

With both Hitachi & Seagate's 7200 RPM HDD's stuck at 100 GB, it may turn out that the next generation coming out may be:

7K200 with perpendicular recording... coming out maybe mid-2007...


I hope that they will increase the buffer size... with MP3, copying digital photo files, I now regularly exceed the 8 MB buffer size...

They also mention that the new 2007 drives will have hybrid technology with some flash memory. Will be interesting to see how they utilize that.

Hitachi & IBM rock. Imagine next year Thinkpads to be shipped with a 200GB 7.2K HDD with the parallel recording technology. The speed of development of new technologies is amazing

Once Vista supports Juniper Netscreen (or the revers) AND the 200GB 7200rpm drive is a reality, I will be in line for such a standard, black, square-cornered, standard aspect ratio screen "T-series" ThinkPad. ... JD Hurst

I thought the Netscreen was essentially a firewall appliance -- was I wrong? Does it have a client component as well or something like that?

Not wrong, just incomplete :) Yes, there is a client component that is a very smooth and robust ipSec remote access client for the Netscreen box. It works well in XP, but if fails to install in Vista Beta or RC because it cannot install the deterministic network enhancer.
Juniper has said "No ETA" on a Vista-compliant client.

Just to note, to avoid really long URLs, either use hypertext link or TinyURL to take down the length of the URLs. :)

I met someone who looks a lot like you.
She does the things you do.
But she is an IBM.

Is *that* the problem? I dislike it too. I tried fixing it in my post,
but it didn't work. I am not using this high resolution.
Still at 1024x768 by personal choice. ... JD Hurst

It's the OP's long URL. Tons of scrolling at 1024x768 on the X31, still multiple screenfuls on the 1600x1200 external display at the office.

Hey guys, can't reduce the URL length... what am I doing wrong?

Sorry for such a long URL--did not realize this when copy/paste the link...

You have it just a bit switched (not quite obvious how to do those);

As I recall, what you need is something like this (substitute square brackets for the squigglies):
