Maximum Hard Drive Capacity
With the Alienware M17, having the capacity to store all your files is the last thing you need to worry about. Dual 500GB drives in a RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration take care of that. With a full 1TB, you can hold over 150 games, 250 full-length movies or a jaw-dropping 250,000 songs. In addition, all Alienware 7200RPM drives feature Free Fall Sensor technology to further protect your valuable data
Hard Drive Basics
The Alienware M17 notebook features up to a full 1TB of storage capacity in a RAID 0 configuration, enough to hold over 150 games, 250 full-length movies or 250,000 songs.
RAID 0 vs. RAID 1
A RAID 0 configuration distributes data between two linked drives evenly by splitting saved files into two parts and saving each half on a separate drive. When saving or retrieving data, each drive’s workload is cut in half, increasing read and write speeds. With RAID 1, data is mirrored and a full copy is stored on each drive. If either drive fails, a complete backup exists on the system, preventing data loss.
5400RPM vs. 7200RPM
Hard drives store data on magnetic discs or platters. Drives contain multiple platters, each one making up a portion of the total capacity. As the platter spins, a head reads or writes data to the disc. The faster the platters spin, the more information the heads can access in a given time.
Free Fall Sensors
All Alienware 7200RPM drives feature free fall sensors which lock the drive head in place if the notebook is dropped. This keeps the head from being damaged or data from being lost.
Are You Ready For Windows Vista 64 Bit?
Alienware unleashes the full potential of its high-end hardware with Windows Vista 64 bit, unlocking all of the hardware’s dynamic features. A 64-bit operating system can process twice as much information as a 32-bit version, and can use significantly more random access memory. If you want to experience the world’s most advanced OS, you need the unrivaled power of an Alienware.
