Super Heavy Hard Drive超稠油硬盘驱动器

I am in the market for a new hard drive for a PC on our SOHO and was checking out the 3/4 terabytes (actually 750 Gb, but what’sa few bytes between friends) HDDs available from UK supplier我在市场上一个新的硬盘驱动器的PC对我们的SOHO和被检查出3 / 4千兆字节（其实750 GB的，但什么是几个字节之间的朋友）硬碟机，可从英国供应商 Digital Kind数码类 . 。

This hard drive seemed okay at first glance.这个硬盘驱动器似乎好乍看之下。 750 gigs of space, a 16 Mb buffer, 7200 rpm spin speed, all the usual features. 750演出的空间， 16 MB的缓冲区，高达7200 RPM的旋转速度，所有常见的功能。 But, then I spotted the weight!但是，我便发现的重量！

Apparently, this obese little Seagate weighs a staggering 720 kilograms!显然，这个肥胖的小希捷重量惊人七百二十零公斤！ Surely, there’s some mistake.当然，有一些错误。 More worryingly from the Sig Figs’ point of view though, is that the site also gives the weight in pounds.更令人担心的，从SIG的无花果的角度来看，虽然是，该网站还给出了重量在磅。 And, you guessed it, they apply a high resolution conversion factor and come up with a huge dose of unwarranted precision in the value of 1587.33 lbs.和，你猜，他们适用于高解析度的换算系数，并想出了一个庞大的剂量不必要的精度在价值一千五百八十七点三三磅。

They do the same in the device dimensions too, only this time they move from imperial measurements, a width of 5.79 inches becoming 146.99 mm so an extra two significant figures there.他们做同样的在设备方面，也只有这个时候，他们从帝国的测量，宽度5.79英寸成为146.99毫米，使额外的两个重要人物。 And, who ever measured inches with a decimal point anyway, that’s what fractions were invented for, halfs, quarters, eighths, sixteenths etc?和，谁以往任何时候都测量英寸与一个小数点，无论如何，这是什么部位的发明， halfs ，宿舍，八分之七， sixteenths等？
