500gb on a cd

fallenleaderif im right, a Faraday cage will help against HDD erasing?

No, a faraday cage blocks radio signals.

What happens if the HDD are erased? Is it still bootable and usable?

Yeah the read speed is probly FTL.
:/

Lechongbaboy · #42What happens if the HDD are erased? Is it still bootable and usable?

if its erased by an external influence such as a magnet then no, but low level formatting should make it usable again. All the data on it will be gone, of course, but it will still work.

..If they had a pocket 1TB memory stick I'd buy that on the double!But it won't be cheap...As for the optical disc, it would take ages to read, you would need a driver that's insanely fast to read it right?
Especially if it's FULL!(holy cow 2 times my drive size....)

a properly written driver will have no effect on the speed of access. A badly written one will slow it down like hell.

Just buy an portable hard drive.
I got one for 1TB at 49EUR, it's really cheap stuff nowadays.My hard drive is 712GB, how can you people have such small sizes. xDAnd that CD gets owned by any portable hard drive there is above 500GB.

the only thing that can beat this is the portable hard drive, when i mean portable i mean portable. 3.5" hard drives aren't portable because you need to lug around an adapter the size of a psp [or somewhere around there]. the 2.5" [or less] hard drives are the only drives that can compete with these things. 2.5" drives are low powered [powers using the usb port], they are reliable and they are just as convenient as using cds. the only problem i see is tranportation, that is if suppose i need to send a handful of data to loony or seph by mail, sending them on a disc is more convenient and reliable then sending in a 2.5" hard drive.

tapes are quite hardy too.

yah ive heard of it seems awsome but i dont think our drives could handel it

that will make gaming more interesting
