Not just under 1 second, but a minute fraction of a second.  I've got a 1 TB hard drive. (well, 1024 GB) It would therefore take  1/300ths of a second to fill it.  This is speed on an absurd level.

You're getting bits and bytes mixed up. Your 1 Terrabyte hard disk equates to 8 Terrabits (according to the most common definition of a byte). A 300 Terabit per second connection would thus take 1/38th of a second to fill your drive which I think we can all agree takes the speed down from 'absurd' to merely 'OMFG' levels.  ;)

T1's are really quite slow by today's standards - 1.5 Mbit if I remember correctly.

Your throughput on your hard drive could never reach those levels of data transfer so you wouldn't be able to achieve that speed.  Even if you did it to faster Ram, you'd need an absurd and unattainable amount to cache it all.

I didn't mention that to avoid more technical aspects. Yet you're quite correct. Internet speed is only as effective as the computer it services.

Quite, but I was using it as a point of reference, not a testable procedure. :)

By the time this becomes commonplace I am sure Drives and Ram will "catch up".

I can easily envision a TB stick of ram.  (or 10-100 etc)

Trying to think of anything faster than the Solid state drives (anybody see that youtube video where they hooked up like 100 solid state drives and how fast they were loading stuff?) but I am sure it will keep getting faster and smaller.

I can't wait to see what the next 10-20yrs brings computer wise.

Terabits per second? forget about this technical jargon and just tell me how much pr0n per second does this translates to.

Meh, it's a Cisco, you can probably have a single point to point network at that speed and the router will probably need rebooting every 3rd packet.

You were referring to computer crackers, right? I'm a hacker of some sorts, I've never gained malicious access to a system nor have I ever created malicious software.
