Western Digital releases 3TB hard drives for videos
HARD DRIVE MAKER Western Digital has released 2.5TB and 3TB hard drives aimed at storing video.
Western Digital, which recently purchased rival storage vendor Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, announced that its AV-GP series of hard disk drives now come in 2.5TB and 3TB models. Both drives have the firm's Silkstream technology, which Western Digital claims can capture 12 simultaneous high definition video streams.
As its AV-GP drives are intended to run 24x7, Western Digital quotes a 1,000,000 hour mean time between failures and not the usual 300,000 load/unload cycles. The firm also spins the platters at somewhere between 5,200 and 5,700 RPM. However unlike its widely respected Black edition hard drives, the AV-GP units come with a three year warranty.
Western Digital is pitching its AV-GP drives for use in personal video recorders (PVR) and surveillance systems. For consumers it's debatable as to what advantage they will see by using the firm's specialised drives over its standard units in single drive PVRs.
Western Digital promotes its Silksteam firmware as being the major difference that, the firm claims, supports the SATA streaming command set, but its likely users will only see major gains on streaming servers used in surveillance applications.
Western Digital's 2.5TB AV-GP drive should be available for around £85 while the 3TB unit should set you back about £110. µ

AS Ad Ops Manager for the Inquirer, I know there are currently (19th May 2011) there are no interstitial ads running in the UK therefore you must be based outside the UK. Since international (non UK advertising sales) are handled by sales agents we really need to know where you are based, if you could send a screenshot of any problem ads to adtrafficking@incisivemedia.com along with where you are based we will get these ads fixed. We really take the user experience of our users seriously, it isnt a webmaster issue but a matter with the ad networks we work with. All ads run through ad tags which can serve vertually any content. We do try to restict formats, if these affect the functionality of the site we really need to know. However some of these more intrusive formats (like interstitials) are really important to the ongoing commericial future of the site since.
how come after closeing the annoying first add the page doesn't load? why do I have to refresh (F5) the page? just to get to it.
It's the FIRST add that is fucked up. after closing the add the page doesn't load!!! is your web master in dipers? more likely your IT dept is as understaffed as the rest of us and you have a desktop person doing your pages and some other things he/she isn't proficient at. Nah, it's the bonehead that decided how to impliment adds but had no clue or concern what happens after the add is closed..
Hi InQAdds where are you based (country), we work with several ad networks,sometimes formats run which we do not traffic directly. Additionally all these formats should be capped (this is why deleting cookies is not a good idea, otherwise you will keep getting served) to a maximum of one per user session and for some formats one per 24 hours.
it's not that there are adds, they need an income. It's the abuse. Stupid managers having their head up their ass not looking at things from the customers perspective. I had to close an add to get to the close add button to close the full screen add. The manager of this site either never looks at it or doesn't give a fuck. Either way he/she is a fucking idiot. If we use add blockers then there is no revenu. I swear hack sites used to be this full of adds, now you can't read a 30 second news blurb without 60 seconds of BS adds.
If you are using Firefox, then I recommend using NoScript addon. It's the best tool for annoying 3rd party ads like these. Just block off the entire domain which is serving ads, and behold....
Open then Inq page, full page add, close add Inq is blank, hit refresh. 3 keystrokes just to get to the FIRST page.
Inq is a fucking joke of marketing failure, can't even get to the main page to see what stories they butchered that day. God forbid that you read with your mouse pointer and get all the fucking pop ups. what the fuck
