Internet vs. Hard drive r/w speed

[Zanix]

Do you think it's possible like in the next hundred years, that the speed of the internet would ever be faster than the speed at which hdisks/ non-volatile storage could save?

I guess that assumes that the internet will still be around.

No.

No, internet can only transfer what's read off of disks.

if your whole site fits in local memory you almost never hit the disk when serving the page.

by the time something so revolutionary happens to internet infrastructure we might be using solid state drives or whatever next big thing is in the storage business.

 

If solid-state memory reaches storage limits of magnetic media, the bandwidth limits we see today could be obliterated in the future.

Yeah, don't they have like the entire internet cached up in RAM? (minus vids, programs, etc)

So you think google's going to be able to tell us what to do faster than we can listen?

Well, I guess by human I mean worker/functionary, something to be told what to do.

Think of it this way. Hard drives and RAM are for local data access while the internet is designed for accessing information regardless of geographic seperation. The internet is in essence, a collection of harrdrives and RAM.

HARD DRIVE (theoretical maximum for channel)

IDE: 133MB/s or 1.06 Gbps
SATA: 150MB/s or 1.5 Gbps
FIBER ARRAY: external connection is 250MB/s or 2Gbps
SCSI: 320MB/s or 2.6 Gbps

RAM

PC66 SDRAM.........533 MB/s or 4.3 Gbps
PC100 SDRAM.......... 800 MB/s or 6.4 Gbp
PC800 RDRAM.......... 1.6 GB/s or 13 Gbps
PC2100 DDRRAM.......... 2.1 GB/s or 17 Gbps
PC3200 DDDRAM.......... 2.7 GB/s or 21 Gbps

INTERNET/WAN/LAN MEDIUMS(theoretical max and or average)

DSL/Cable..............384kbps-3Mbps (cable of 768Mbps......or 375KB/s
t1/e1......................1.5Mbps...........................................or 187.5KB/s
t3/DS3...................45Mbps............................................or 5.625MB/s
ETHERNET(100).......100Mbps..........................................or 12.5MB/s
OC3.......................155Mbps...........................................or 19.375MB/s
OC12......................655Mbps..........................................or 81.75MB/s
ETHERNET(1000)......1000Mbps........................................or 125MB/s
INTERNET2..............1000Mbps.........................................or 125MB/s
OC48......................2.488Gbps........................................or 311MB/s
OC192.....................9.953GBps.......................................or 1. 244 GB/s
ETHERNET(10000)....10GBps.............................................or 1.25GB/s
OC768......................40Gbps............................................or 8GB/s
OC-307....................160Gbps...........................................or 20GB/s
OC-768....................6.4Tbps............................................or 800GB/s
(with Multiplexing)
Fiber Optic.............75Tbps................................................or 9.375 TB/s
(Theoretical max)


As you can see, the internet is already faster

That took forever to type so you better read :thumbsup:

i am the highlander, ive seen the past 1000 years and can confidently predict a) that the internet is a passing craze and b) big-a$$ swords will always be cool

You win! Are you a lawer? I was thinking on a far too small of a scale. NIC = DSL, HD = IDE
