WTF, check this out

holy moley lol :eek:
i was doing some reading on electronics a while where they were developing high speed laser LED's to allow such high speeds.... i'd hate to think what happens to a computer when that sort of throughput is utilised though
 
You could just imagine, downloading a movie (legal of course) and seeing that percentage bar go from 0 to 100 in an instant, then BINGO, theres your film (legal film of course).
 
the only trouble being that you need physical storage capable of keeping up
i suppose one new development pushes another :)

cmon, just go out and buy a couple 500GB Hd's, and you'll be fine......

I could be wrong but I think what they meat was that a HD can't wright a 7GB file in 0.5 seconds (well at least mine can't);)
 
thats exactly what i meant, i dont think there's any physical storage with moving parts that can even get close to that. heck, i dont even think there's any solid state storage that will do it

Yes if we had read and write speeds of that magnitude then the boot time would be almost instantaneous:eek: :rolleyes:
 
that's probably why the site said it wouldn't be put to practical use until 2010. it doesn't make sense to use it right now. i'm sure by 2010 we'll have something that can write that fast.
 
it can be written to a temp file first and then combine the pieces. the problem is if the place you are downloading can keep up or not and most of the time there is a cap speed from the destination.

a hard drive cant copy 7gb in .5 seconds.
 
probably using some super fast flash memory or somthing like ram or video card memory, since that is super fast.

WOW, this really does put tweakers 10Mb Fibre to shame....

Excuse me?

My connection is nothing special, theres plenty of faster ISP's around here, 24, 26 or 100Mbps you pick one. It's just that they go up towards ~$60 a month while mine is ~$25. :)

It's also uncapped which make it a nice deal.

Yeah but I would be happy if it took 10 seconds to download and write to HD. But yeah, realistically, I don't think that that technology will be out for the average joe for while.

If you read it it says 2010
 
Who says your hardrive needs to be able to handle it to use it? You wuold just need a hardrive that fast to get the full potenail of it.
 
it'd just be wasted potential at the end of the day, i dont see the point of anything that fast if the rest of system cant easily cope with it.
