I was only talking about the Blue 1GB 7200rpm model, that is fairly new model. I got those spec's from 3 different places, including WD. That do make a lot more different models of the Blue and Black.

I have no idea that WD made such a small Hard Drive. My Old Thumb drive is bigger.

SATA3 uses 8b/10b encoding and is 6 x 10^9 bits/s, which means for every 8 bits (byte) payload there are two bits overhead, so instead of dividing by 8 you divide by 10. That gives you a theoretical bandwidth of 600 MB/s.

You are dividing by 1024/1024 which would give you MiB/s. Nobody uses those units for transfer speeds, they use MB/s.

And I included typical overhead which drops max down to around 572

I wasn't aware of that overhead allowance and the convention on transfer rates being different than the data storage convention. Thanks for that, guys.

This is not even in production yet, in 10 years this will be a small SSD.

Yup. When I go my first hard drive in 1986, a 20MB Seagate ST-225, it cost $500 and I thought I would never be able to use all that disk space!

Yes I was working for EDS at the time at The GM Building in Detroit and we had this PC with a 200 mb, HD. I went to save some document on it and this DATA tech went wild. Don't take up any space on that HD use a floppy..so I did.
I also can remember the 5/1/4 " Floppies.

When I got my first hard drive, it was in a model-T.

I am looking for larger enterprise SSD (> than the 1.2 TB Intel 3710 series) for work, Hopefully this is a harbinger for good things to come.
