BMG的意思應該是AF跟舊系統相容問題、得進行磁區校正或者設定為傳統512byte模式。
但若舊系統首次使用忘記這些動作、往後就可能碰上問題，或者得刻意迴避某些AF型號。
話說H牌也在他們產品介紹提到AF、只是沒WD那麼大張旗鼓宣傳。
若非合併案HGST的AF硬碟上市也是遲早的事。
參與AF制訂的目前搞硬碟的都有分。

AF確實非常麻煩. 技術上我了解AF需求, 但是當電腦硬碟逐步取代紙張,
我們以後將面對到, 軟碟的文件讀不出來, MO, ZIP資料讀不出來, 因為我
們要進步, 要淘汰這些老古董.

我個人資料從軟碟->MO->DVD-RAM->硬碟, 可以花上很龐大的時間心力,
更不用說大型組織企業.

近期可能會大量採購非AF硬碟, 一次買個10顆備用.

Toshiba is Third Wheel in Western Digital's Acquisition of Hitachi
Posted 02/29/2012 at 7:01am | by Paul Lilly

Western Digital would like nothing more than to finalize its proposed takeover of Hitachi's hard drive business, and to facilitate the process, WD agreed to transfer an asset package to rival Toshiba to ease concerns of regulatory agencies. The package includes equipment and intellectual property (IP) that will enable Toshiba to build and sell 3.5-inch hard drives for desktops, consumer electronics (things like DVRs), and near-line (business critical) applications.

Rather than pay cash for these assets, Toshiba in return has agreed to sign over a 2.5-inch HDD factory in Thailand that's been out of operation since severe flooding rolled through late last year.

The swap in HDD technology and assets between Western and Toshiba is largely a play to satisfy regulatory concerns in the European Union. In order to merge with Hitachi, WD had to divest part of its 3.5-inch HDD business, and this agreement does exactly that while also getting WD something in return.

WD expects its deal with Toshiba to close in March 2012, conditioned on WD's closing of its planned acquisition of Hitatci Global Storage Technologies (HGST).

The package includes equipment and intellectual property (IP) that will enable Toshiba to build and sell 3.5-inch hard drives for desktops, consumer electronics (things like DVRs), and near-line (business critical) applications.


:shock: :shock: :shock:

Toshiba 3.5" ?????

這才是Toshiba的目標吧, 而且很正確地買WD的而不是Hitachi的

敢問何解?
hitachi的硬碟在這幾方面的表現不好嗎?

實際上是Hitachi的設備跟技術，預計四月份就會出貨了....

其他的就不便多說了...:think:

So...這意思是I的設備和技術兜了一圈還是回到日本人手上?
這家的東西我很喜歡，總得知道將來要買誰的...

WD還是佔了大半部分....

我只能說之後看到Toshiba3.5"的硬碟在市面上其實是Hitachi某系列的remark...

:think:

以養動物的狀況來說, Hitachi的讀寫頭部分不到一年就要RMA了



那我只能希望是拿SCSI產品線的技術來生產, 而不是用消費型的技術
消費型的問題就是在上面提到的
還是就都直接選東芝的2.5"產品來用就好
