Gryph Posted January 7, 2005 Author Posted January 7, 2005 (edited) Porn, games, movies, television shows, music, porn, pictures, documents...basically everything. But you know what would suck...if that harddrive broke and you lost 500 gb at once!! Edited January 7, 2005 by GryphonKlaw
Weirdy Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 I wonder how many bad sectors it will have I bet it will reallly be like 490gb's
Robert Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 (edited) Imagine trying to backup that lot. How long to format? Edited January 7, 2005 by robbbert
Agozer Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Well that's great, but being a student, I'll never have the money to buy one
Agozer Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Good for anime collectors like me Heh. You couldn't have said it better. We need space.
Gryph Posted January 7, 2005 Author Posted January 7, 2005 It's probably going to be upwards of $300. But just imagine, soon we'll be getting 1 terabyte harddrives!!! That is too much to comprehend.
Wizard Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Woot, at least I don't have to spend money on my raid array now!
solidius23 Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 i have a terebyte of storage total between all my drives and its mostly filled with junk i really need to do some housekeeping, dont invest in that much storage unless u have valuble stuff that u acess often other wise u will turn into a software pack rat like me lol.
supa_al Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 I have to agree with solidius23. I only have a bout 300 gigs of storage, 1 internal hard drive/2 external, But only about 60 gigs of it is work that i have done(drawings,projects,hw) The rest of it is full of crap(good stuff kids go for) A terabyte of storage is cool, but use it wisely. (What do humans always want, more power)
Wizard Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 (What do humans always want, more power)<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yes. I for one, has always wanted 1 TB of HDD space. My comp on it's own has 180 GB (removed raid because they suddenly stopped working!). I say with all the comps I got, I got at least 1 tb, just in different places.
