    could be neat if it happens.
    I wonder what sort of transfer rates such technology would offer, as if it takes days/weeks/months to fill, having a petabyte would just be silly

      no it's not silly, uncompressed 10 bit or 12 bit HD captures will chew that drive up in no time, mind you to increase performance you would have to raid them say 4 1.2 petabyte drives would be sufficiant

        I'm skeptical, all my BS sensors are going haywire

            Maybe, but if you look deeper, the guy had 5MB disk packs back in the mid 70's.

              I bet I can fill that up in less than a year

                Sure enough I did, and while my BS sensors did stop behauving like klaxons they didnt stop buzzing.

                This guy has been at it for 30 years and still trying...

                And I wont hold my breath on anything hitting retail...

                  What good is it if NTFS can't address it?

                          I always thought petabytes were those lumps of tofu vegetarians ate.

                            The project has not been dropped, but it will not be shipped with the initial release of Vista. They anticipate that WinFS will ship with the SP1 version of Vista. However, WinFS is planned on being released via a web download for WinXP and Vista within 6 months of Vista's release. A Beta for WinFS came out a little while back:

                              If I'm not mistaken, WinFS will just run on top of NTFS, so the current 16TB/256TB limits of NTFS will still be there. I'm sure they'll eventually extend NTFS to support bigger volumes, but for now there's not really any need.
