External Hard Drives will always be more reliable than those Blue Ray Disks. There are so many more pros than cons in comparison.


the part about "External Hard Drives will always be more reliable than those Blue Ray Disks."

1.Hard Drives have a 100% of braking, it's only a mater of time!

2.External Hard Drives are External wich means you can drop it, loose it, and
so on....

3.Blue Ray Disks is said will be very scratch resistant and about the some
size of a Hard Drive and faster then a Hard Drive and safer.



#1 That's a hard Drive, I was talking about the "external"
#2 Umm.. you can loose and drop a Blue Ray Disk too.
#3 Size of a hard drive? Not a very big one then. And how exactly is a Blue Ray disk faster then a Hard Drive?

to #1. External Hard Drives are Hard Drives in a case.

ok nothing is unbreakable. but hard drives they have moving parts in them
and Blue-ray does not. and #2

#3 Blue-ray at 2x is 72Mbps, a hard drive is like ~24Mbps.

Willen,

TOTALLY off topic, but is that the RED STRAW HAT in your mysterious sig banner? It is evidence you may be joining me among the ranks of KOR amv makers?

If you are unaware of my hardcore (you may forgive the pun) KOR fandom, this must be corrected immediately.

lol. Where did you get this numbers from? It's true, a blue ray disk at 2x has 72MBit per second, but actual internal harddrives have between 50 and 60 MByte per second (and more), which means they are around 6..7 times faster. And external HD's still reach 80% of it, so they're still 5...6 times faster than blue ray discs.

I'm not sure about the BluRay discs being nearly indestructable. Multi-layer media are always prone to delamination. This was one of the problems with Laserdisc. I've caused layers on a DVD to start separating at the edge of the disc by dropping it on a concrete floor just right. (It was completely on accident, too.) Introduce more layers, and you have even more chances of delamination. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if odd things happened with just a little flexing pressure between the inside and outside of the disc. (removing the disc from some DVD cases, for example)

I'll believe the claims when I see it.

yea, they can go 50 and 60 Mbps but higher aaaww one did not think so.
it depends on how muck it holds(the more it hold the slower), rpm's, and the cache size ooo and cable.

i do want to see are you seen that info.

do you know how fast your hard drive goes?
here's a program that you can see the speed. http://www.ghisler.com/

frist off, "i love you man/girl(i don't want to offend you). your the only one asking the rightist bestist questen's."

ok as far as i know and trust they will be better then the last version"DVD"
as you mite know it's just a smiller laser. i do think that it wound be very
easy 4 them to make them super scratch resistant.
