Back then, datacenters has been filled with racks and racks of servers serving different functions. Most datacenters today are still setup in such a way that for different services such as mail, web, file storage are kept in separate physical boxes. The problem with this scenario is, primarily, the infrastructure cost. If you're a small company tight on budget, its a pretty big investment to follow this setup. Imagine buying a mail server, a web server, file server, app server, test development server, redundancies.. The list goes on. Also, it is a headache to maintain.. What if you need more RAM in your app server and your web server is underutilizing its resources? Are you going to pull down the server and transfer memory modules from one physical server to another? Power consumption is also a problem. Servers, by nature are power hogs. They suck up huge amounts of electricity and maintaining a 1 rack data center would be a big pain in the wallet. The good thing about techn...

It has been argued on by so many computer enthusiasts when asked "Is it worth it to buy (insert brand here) (insert drive space here) for (insert price here) ?" Given the example above, how can you say that its better to buy the 1.5 TB drive and just adding a bit more money than buying the 1 TB drive? Ive explained this approach to a batchmate of mine in DLSU some years ago. I wasnt able to remember it until we had a YM conversation last night. Given the prices from the PCX price list: 4910 pesos for a 1Terabyte Seagate SATA 16mb 7720 pesos for a 1.5Terabyte Seagate SATA 32mb So, if you have a 1000 Gig (~1TB) drive for 4910 Pesos what you need to do is just divide the amount by the size of the drive. 4910 / 1000 = 4.91 Pesos per Gigabyte whereas 7720 / 1500 = 5.15 Pesos per Gigabyte Its safe to say that for the price to space ratio, you would get a better deal if you buy the 1TB drive rather than the 1.5TB drive. Though you might want to hold off buying a Seagate for this...
