I'm sure other parts of the technology will improve but that sucker will take 37.325 days to burn. <br><br><br><br><br>luciferase

That's FRAKKIN' cool... Don't we all have a spare month to burn a terrabyte of information? <br><br>

But can I get them for free with a mail in rebate from Best Buy?<br><br>

37 Days to burn? It says: "with a transfer speed of one gigabyte per second (40 times the speed of DVD)." Does 1TB@1GB/sec = 37days?<br><br>I think that's like 17 minutes...<br><br>This could begin the end of compression algorithms in the life of the consumer...no more crappy image artifacts or low quality digital audio...<br>

Wah wah wah...hey, 5 years ago could you even burn ANYTHING to a DVD? <br><br>[color:white]God speed, mikeb. Go drive your Boxster in the big Autobahn in the sky...</font color=white>

Burning might be a different story.<br><br>Using the numbers they supplied (DVD is 1/40th speed) DVD "transfer" is currently 25 MB per second. Not positive but that sounds like a read rate and not a burn rate. Or else I am too impatient. DVD's and CD's seem to take way too long to burn. Anyone burn a DVD lately and know the burn rate?<br><br><br><br><br>luciferase
