Samsung announces 64GB SATA II drives in 2.5, 1.8-inch varieties

Nov 5th 2007 9:09AM on Engadget

I'm really excited to see what's going to happen with the datacenter when these drives become readily available.

World's smallest (7-inch) HDTV on display at Computex

While it doesn't have a practical value right now, this sort of display density might make for an interesting PMP/PSP2/3/whatever someday.

Negroponte: "Intel should be ashamed of itself" for dumping its low cost PC

May 21st 2007 12:57PM on Engadget

Does anyone think Intel has pockets which are deeper than all the governments which may purchase the Classmate PC? If they get a billion orders for the thing, how could they keep up with demand, and if they cannot, then the OLPC will be needed to fill those orders. If they can, then whenever they decide to jack up the price, the OLPC or its successor can come into the market with a more affordable option. Dumping can't work unless you can print money and have a legal monopoly.

Clevo's new 12-inch ultraportable rocks the HSDPA

Apr 19th 2007 2:44PM on Engadget

Actually, flash drive was what I was thinking. I don't think it needs to be super large, but a laptop with this sort of mobile connectivity needs to be engineered to be mobile for as long as possible.

Sager rolls out budget-minded NP6650 laptop

Apr 3rd 2007 3:54PM on Engadget

Just like budget cars, that market won't be going anywhere. It will continue to expand, and our ideas of what makes something "budget" will shift up. At one time, automatic transmissions and air conditioning weren't normally on budget cars. Now, they frequently are. Over the next couple of years, I expect a DVD burner to be standard. You will pay extra for some sort of HD format, I imagine. Also, multiple cores will likely be commonly available, if Intel's pushes in this regard are to be believed.

Hammer's new myshare NAS shares 2TB on home networks

Cheaper than mirrors, though. I don't mind a mirror, I was mainly considering cost.

DVD pirates attempt subterfuge in war on crime dogs

Honestly, I wish they would just figure out a new business model rather than preventing copying. That really seems like a big waste of resources.

Hammer's new myshare NAS shares 2TB on home networks

Except your data is what gets burned. No way I would trust anything valuable to a raid0 stripe of 500GB drives. 500GB drives are likely less reliable than 160GB drives, with all those platters and high data density. When will someone do this in a Raid5 with hotswap at a reasonable price? Is it really so difficult?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
