Survey:is it true the bigger the hard drive the better it works?!


Question: The key to a hard drive working beter is how fast it can get data in or pull data out. The faster it goes in and out, the beter it works.

I/O speed is a function of spin, the faster it spins, the faster data can be transfered.

it is also a function of how much writting you have done, and how contiguous it is. If you have been stuffing stuff in it alot, especially big stuff, the disk gets fragmented making it hard to find a place to put more, and harder to get whats already in it out.

bigger hard disks are harder to fragment because it takes longer to fill them up. With people putting more and more in their computer and in general using them more and more to do new things, there is no end to how big a hard disk needs to be.

you will find that several little disks working togeather will work better than one big disk. This is because several little disks will have both beter access times (one disk taking the data when another is not quite ready) and utilize more paths to transport the data, using more than one port to spill the data.

The trend seems to be to try and get the biggest disk you can get, but in the end, your storage needs will outgrow even the biggest disk ever made, and you will be forced to spread your data over several disks.

This in mind, you should think about a raid configureation, both to make sure you have easy access, but also to make your data relyablely secure.

High relyabilty computers expect to have two disks, doing the same job, plugged into different ports at the same time, usually also plugged into two mother boards.

In the end, it depends on how big your data needs are and what demands you plan for your disk, rather it is beter to go bigger or spread the data around across several disks.

Experementation can be very enlightening.

nope - just means there's more space

brand of drive has more to do with it

I disagree

If paired with lots of ram and a hot processor to control the whole affair lol.

Depends on the Ram ;-)

you tell me

Not really

i dont think so

Yep!

Sure -- they also work much better than any size floppy drive.

If this is some sort of perverted question, you need help!

not necessarily!!!

geez what are you saying

no way. it's now how deep yo fish, it's how you wiggle your worm!

sure but if its not compatable with the MOTHER board and the processor theres no response from either ,, hahaha lots of memories and no electricity sooo no movement

Nope

My ex had a big hard drive but no knowlegde on how to use his equipment right.
My man now has an average size hard drive and can work it like a dream.

Size does not matter, it's your knowledge and techniques that do the job right. LMAO

haha OH yes. Yes. YES!!!

I would have to check out Your U.S.B. port, first.

Wow! Uh, what was the question?

Depends ...... on if the user knows how to work the hard drive.

;-]

That is not true. It is how much impact the smaller drive packs. Some small packages pack quite a punch and have the staying power the big ones just dream of. Some smaller ones outlast the larger ones. Some of the smaller ones can give quite a lot of satisfaction to the customers too. I just love my smaller hard drive. I would not trade it for anything. We are quite attached, I can tell you that. So if you want to ask anything about my hard drive, I am available to take your questions.

Yes the more its drivin harder the better.

The key to it all is the "RAM"! ;)
