And back then you had to walk 5 miles to school in the snow...

Wouldn't that mean only half the space? I think it is still flash, not like RAM.

If the question is whether SATA 2.0 has a major negative effect on performance, it doesn't really.

That would hold about 16,000 30MB lossless 14-bit NEFs from the D7100 and many more from other bodies or at higher compression/lower bit depth. I'd say that is a bit risky. ;)

The high platter counts were found in the 1.6" drives, which vanished indeed in the latter 1990s. IIRC the 1" height SCSI drives had up to 6 platters.

They are only stacking more dies as these are the same family of 90/95MB/sec. cards that was around in early 2012 IIRC. The cards are available for pre-order at BH, etc. The 128MB size is a good option for many users. Oddly enough, the new UHS-3 cards (which require more pins) have not been...

No, I don't think so. More likely is that the drive capacity may vary, i.e., yields of good sectors vary and drives are binned to different capacities. Typically they would design the drive for a slightly higher capacity and hide the extra spare sectors for uniformity. Over time and...

5D III is miles ahead of the 7D in every way other than framing rate and reach. If you don't need the body performance or use longer lenses, the A7R produces excellent IQ compared to the 5D III.

I wonder what that density will do for the 2.5' laptop drives?

Eeewww.

So am I. This 980X is getting old, especially the mainboard RAM and SATA limitations. I see that the octocore CPU is rated much lower than the hexacore, but is that really a limitation if the OC is not that much different? How much better is that Hasbro-E at the same speed (assuming it will...

And 99.7% of movies will still be crap for the kiddies and masses...

I could live with the short screen if the display could be narrowed. Unfortunately I don't know if any modern video cards allow a range of resolutions that would leave the sides black.

Even in the snow?

They are 4K or more?

Will there ever be monitors with a taller scree than the awful 16:9?

Buy a modern camera first, some FX Nikon body.

Neither AF nor fast lenses are needed for formal portraits. I can't imagine a good photographer using a body like the 7D with fine lenses these days. More likely they would use a FF/FX body.

A pro will bring the appropriate equipment, mainly the lighting. In modern times pros prefer FF/FX bodies, though some may not, depending on the output expectations and your budget. In the old days we used 85/105/135 primes on 135 and MF for formal portraits, typically at 8Ft+ distances. How...

My desktop is not safe for work either. Ive cut or otherwise injured myself multiple times.

Mine is 3b6ea5.

I have a goodly number of the 2TB Seagate Slim drives with the Samsung M9T inside. For the capacity the price is nice at $100. I wish I could trust the USB flash drives, but I'm using Lexar 1000x or 1066x CF cards in a small reader for lesser data transfers. I happen to have a bunch of 64GB...

Perhaps it can be a separate thread?

How reliable are the USB flash drives though?

Lithium secondary cells still have many disadvantages as well, such as safety and longevity.

The mid and lower capacities will be achieved with less platters, reducing the costs. I'm a bit concerned about the new technologies, if it is like shit on a shingle.

I typically make a backup image of the C: drive before even booting the first time. Maybe it's too late but consider some backup (disc imaging) next time.

The cells are mass produced so unless they made some major negative changes (which makes little sense) I'd go with the Panasonics as they are newer. Sanyo was related to Matsushita (Panasonic) years ago before all the corporate shenanigans in recent years. They have almost always made cells...

Sanyo was folded back into Panasonic/Matsushita. They probably have differencs in marketing, but there are only two current types. Thee xxx are the high capacity, faster srlf duscharfe and the lower capacity lower duscharfe

It doesn't sound very interesting. Maybe you could try something else?

It's like Wheaties or Bran flakes. :)

My internet is way slower than al those. There is FISO available in the area now, but I'm not getting any clear answers as to whether the internet is available after a general power failure. The advertised fine print say only the phone service. I need to have phone and internet for 24 hours...

I'm not familiar with the GOGt, but I'm soooo glad that Merc is regaining his visions. :cheers: Just reduce the porn a bit. Back in the 60s they told us that certain activities would make us go blind. Perhaps it was true. :lol:

What is that nonsense? * Download massive files in seconds rather than minutes My downloads are still really slow due to the internets. If one has the fiber otics is that really any faster than a Seagate 7200 at 170 MB/sec.?

That's the one I got less than two weeks ago. If I didn't already have three 960gb drives I'd get another. It is actually 1024GB unlike most 1TB drives.

A cliff or wall will do nicely; even an ocean or a lake will suffice.

Yeah I was looking at that. Which controller is needed?

Why 50x? Is it OCD or other mental condition?

Holy crap, is this the end of the world and the dead have risen to post at SF? :rofl:

It will be years yet before a 6TB flash drive is $300 and by then a 6TB HDD will be closer to $100. Nobody will make a cheap SSD with really shitty flash memory. Well maybe they can resurrect OCZ. :rolleyes:

Yikes. Perhaps the extreme and extended weight loss is somehow the cause of your problems.

You don't want Intellipower (5400 RPM), but you also don't want 7200 RPM? :scratch: I guess that leaves you with a 5900 RPM Seagate 6TB drive if they ever release one. I suspect that the 6TB drives are designed for servers first and the cheaper versions trickle down to the lower market. I...

Well, it does not look so good to me in an open space. 60W is too dim for my lampshades, but maybe I need new table lamps. The 100W equivalent Crees are nice because they illuminate immediately, unlike the stupid CFL lamps. I'd prefer even brighter, say a 50-100-200 three way, if that is...

Well I have one now. Interestingly enough the capacity is 1024BG, which is larger than any 1TB drive I've used. I hope there are sufficient spare sectors, but assume it is still more reliable than the TLC Samsung SSD.

Those slim lights are not the same at all. They have a series of small LEDS around a perimeter with a dark center. I have one and am not sure what to do with it now. The Cree lamps look like and produce the light pattern of a traditional bulb. I just wish there were something in between the...

Well, somebody is buying the high-grade Seagate and Hitachi 6TB drives for $600+, so I would assume they are used in some sort of arrays that are reliable enough. The WD Red drives are the SOHO NAS type.

Because they are WD?

What is the point?

I only have a couple of 6TB drives the standard Seagates, which work just fine though are not in an array. Are they crippled some way for RIAD 5?
