V8Driver Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 1 petabyte / (25 gigabytes) = 40 000 *20 min. = 800000 /60= 13333.3333333 hrs /24= 555 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 If the Super DVD is to be a viable format, it has to make a quantum leap in write speed. However, it is based on 3-D memory and not optical storage. 3-D memory may be super fast at writes. Without it in consumer hands, we'll never know. And it's not even in enterprise hands yet as it's only just a recently announced technology. However, I think your math is off. If it takes 20 minutes to write 25 GB, 1 petabyte is 125 TB. 125 TB is 125,000 GB. (Well, let's just conveniently ignore the 1024 factor. ) So, 125,000 divided by 25 GB is 5,000 20 minute writes. That's 100,000 minutes / 60 minutes in an hour / 24 hours in a day is 69.4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
