As for access times, i imagine it would be pretty fast, it does say it can do 1,000,000 bits in a flash of light, so imagine how many flashes it would take to write your 6tb raid…. lets hope you dont suffer from epillepsy!!!

MEH! But if you think about it, fiberoptics flash so fast we cant see them, so think about the “fast flashy little read/write” head flashing up all that flashy data, and it’d be done quick as a flash!

Thank you for clearing things up, ME.

OK there is still widespread confusion on this. To clear things up, a megabyte does not equal 1024 kilobytes. There is a different name for that, the Mebibyte. Observe:
1 Terabyte = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes.
1 Tebibyte = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes

So 1.6 Terabytes = 1,600,000,000,000 bytes or 1600 Gigabytes.

It depends whether you use powers of 10 or powers of 2 to calculate a “megabyte”.
Eg.
10 to the power of 3 = 1000 (a kilobyte)
2 to the power of 10 = 1024 (a kibibyte)
Read about it at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MegaByte

Generally for new hard drives, a megabyte = 1000 KB, whereas for RAM, a megabyte = 1024 KB

hmmm quite the large amount of space.
i imagine the disk drive would be quite the expensive.
anyway Shankdizzle, current hd’s actually only run at 7200 or 10000rpm.
Also having a faster optical disk would not improve the speed of your cpu. It would only be faster at reading disks so load times would be faster and copying files to the disk.
