Thor CD
I don't think it will 'kill' present hard disks. CD data rates are
VERY slow by comparison to current HDs, the access times are also slow. If
you want a sample of how slow the access times are, try telling your audio CD
player to go from the first song to the last on a disk. Access times are in
the .5 second range, HDs are in the .020 second range. Data rates are around
600K bytes per second and up for HDs and 176.4K bytes per second for CD. At
least thats the info I have on them at this point.
