Quantum LTO-4 HH 800 GB 1.6 TB

Advantages: Fast
Disadvantages: Cost

...of DDS (Four flavours) which is a small 4mm tape, 8MM and DLT which looks very like a fat LTO tape (There are a few others but these were the main players). While the above are still in use this is mainly due to the high cost of LTO. If LTO is so expensive then why bother with it? Because it does all of the above very, very well. According to datasheets each tape SHOULD last up-to 250,000 hours before failing (MTBF, Meantime Between Failures) which is the same as DLT IV (Nearest rival) but the head life is double the DLT at 60,000 hours. This means, in theory, your tape should last twice as long. An LTO tape can be written to at rates of 20-30MB per Second. This is very quick meaning that large amounts of data (I.E. Up-to 200GB) can be backed up very quickly (DLT Manages 6MB per Second). Size: ***** An LTO tape is 4.1 x 4.0 x 0.8 in. (105... Read review

As the Screen is 15.4" 1280x800 or 1440x900, there are about 1 200 000 pixels on your screen. For that amout of pixels ( I think not so many), the ATI® Radeon® X1400 will rock. I would rather sacrify 1gb of ram and take this Graphic card than go for 2Gb of ram but having an Intel onboard one. Gaming experience will not able to be maximised, however, you will save lots of money. Hard Drive : 80gb at 5400 rpm, 100 gb at 7200 rpm or 120 gb at 5400 rpm. If I was about to buy this laptop, I would choose to have the 12gb one raher thn the 100 gb one. Speed will be reduced, however, you get up to 20 gb more of memory and save £35.25 ( worth for money) Very portable with 4x USB 2.0 4-pin connectors (non-powered); 2... Read review
