South Korea to launch 1 Gbps internet this year

[shravi]

and by the way people, I had been calculating some things.take a look:
1Gbps = 100MB/s

fastest HD, the 10,000rpm Western digital has writing speed of 75MB/s.so the HD would act as a bottleneck.the only possible way would be to has RAID 0 setup, this would give about 120MB/s.

this means, theoritically, it would be better to store data online than on a single HDD!

Great research Leo (even though I don't have a clue as to what you're saying- sorry, not much of a computer person)!!!

the govt wants 1GBps connection for home users, corpotates might get 10-15GBps ones

and by the way people, I had been calculating some things.take a look:
1Gbps = 100MB/s

Oh my god! But I wonder how it will go with the people (how it will sell)...

I think leo is right

kbps = Kilobits per second
KBps = Kilobytes per second

Check here

So Farrukh_|$B what exactly is your kbps stands for
As mine is a 128 (Kilobits per second) net connection and i get a 16 (Kilobytes per second) download speed.

i think i have also confused with "b" bits and "B" bytes..... I should notice the speed in next download!!!!

RAID 0 means u write to two HD simulatneously, therotically doubling speeds.

a 1Gbps connection = 1024/8 = 100 MB/s
HD these days have 75 MB/s writing speed max.

only two HD's on RAID 0 can utilize full bandwidth of the 1Gbps net connection.
