while it might not rely on thermal expansion are you sure about the 'gold target on the disk head'? In descriptions I've read from Seagate the laser is used to heat the specific bit being written. Takes 1 ns to heat up and cool down.
Yes. 100% sure, do not rely on the marketing materials, go to the whitepapers
Please be aware that, at these capacities, rebuild times will be meassured in weeks. Please use at least N+2 equivalent redundancy, and. In the case of RAID6, do not exceed ~ 12 drives total per volume.
if you are concerned with IOPS, either for normal use or for rebuild scenarios, get HAMR+MACH.2 HDDs
Please be aware that, while available for all to buy, these drives are for NAS and enterpeise use.
put'em in a normal case for DiY NAS, or in a portable enclosure, oninyour normal rig a lone "media drive" at your own peril.
they need certain mounting and ventilation standards to work reliably without shorteningtheir life.
TFA is wrong. The laser inthe disk head strikes a gold target on the disk head which in turn heats up the disk.
the disk is heated to change (lower) the coercitivity of the material. Any thermal expansion is an UNDESIRABLE side-effect.
The point is intermittent power does not work well with heavy industry, so it's either fossil fuel or hydroelectric.
Or Atomic/Nuclear, which China also has. Radioactive waste is a problem, but CO2 and air particulates is not an issue there.
... But the market can stay irrational longer than one can stay solvent, so perhaps is better that I do not have that kind of money anyway.
Stop complaining and reinvent yourselves!
They don't have anyone else to build their products.
Wrong, they also use pegatron, winstron and compal, but yes, foxxcon gets the lion's share of apple's bussienss.
Strange they do not have anything with celestica, as being canadian should slightly help with the geopolitics...
I also had one of their laser printers, Optra-something-something -- it was 1200 dpi when HP was nowhere near that, fucking fast (yeah, hilarious how the MCU in the laser printer was a gazillion times faster than the 286 in my machine) and it had Postscript 2 support, very cool to write postscript programs that ran on the machine and spit out the results on paper.
While in the uni, a friend was part of the bio-electronics group, they had a super-fast printer, connected to a 286 running OS/2 2.1 acting as a print server for the whole group. You made me remember. Fun times.
I don't think they were ever an upstart, wasn't Lexmark just the spinoff of IBMs printing business?
Lesxmark was the Spinoff of IBM's PERIPHERAL's business, and included amazing things like the M2 buckling spring keyboards. Then they specialized in printers. Having said that, their printer's division was small an scrapy in comparison with Canon, epson and HP
They're another scam inkjet company. Why do people keep falling for this, over and over again?
They stoped selling inkjets in 2012... It seems they live in your head rent free.
Xerox mostly operates in Enterprise printing now, and believe you me, campanies still print a lot. Lexmark operates both in consumer and entreprise printing, so a bunch of new customers for xerox.
The newly joined company will probably be able to do a best of breed product roadmap in HW and SW going forward.
Also, I do not know, and I am to lazy to ask, but there may be geography complimentarities (i.e. markets were Xerox is tronger but lexmark was weaker and Vice versa), that would allow a best of breed approach in each.*
Finally, economies of scale with suppliers kick in, and personnel may be made redundant, saving costs.
* An example I remeber vividly was the DEC-Compaq and Latter compaq-HP merger. For some reason, the DEC guys in colombia survived both, while the dec and compaq guys in Venezuela were Decimated. Seems like DEC was the stronger of the three in the colombian market, both in Servers and in User PCs. Those guys were hungry for sales.
You will get the same 25~30 minutes of pre-roll ads, but at least you can have propper food and have a draft beer in a "restaurant type area" outside the projection area while you wait.
Or was it Alamo Drafthouse? Anywho, my point stands.
