Yea think of all the horse pr0n I could fit on that thing

You people have no idea how over priced that is, if you get 4 500GB drives, 4 $30 HD enclosures and some duct tape it would be around $1300 not $1900...

Jks, basicly, nothing in the computing world that's not barebones, isn't cheap. If you want something extremely good, it has to be normally expensive. This 2 Terabyte hard drive proves that you have to pay to get the best. My new computer was normally expensive but I got it on sale, one of the only downsides is the ATI Radeon Express 200 (not that good).

^^shuttp noob^^

damn, what the hell would anyone need with a 2 Terabyte external HD, for one thing, at 90 mb a second it would take:

Code: Select all

90MB/sec = 11sec/GB

11*1024= 11264 secs/TB = 3 hours/TB

3H/TB*2=6 Hours

so it would take SIX FREAKING HOURS to fill it up. and what would you fill it up with? you could make an ISO of every game EVER MADE and never have to swap out CDs again, all for two-hundred-thousand pennies.

In 1987, there was the TRS solid state 15MB external hard drive (yep, 15MB with a key locking system) and it was state of the art, the best of the best. In 2001, we had 137GB hard drives, now there are Terabytes. What comes after Pelabytes, Ultrabytes

?

Yottabytes or something like that... theres a 5.2 petabyte in the prototype stages right now.

Considering I've got 200GB and I've nearly filled that, I could do with something that huge...

rossmum, i have a 250 and it's nearly filled also

and noe, my pr0n isn't taking it all up

I have 2.6 terabytes on this computer and throught our house we have 7.37

Unless you're into some serious graphics work or run some sort of server, that's pretty much pointless... Less than 500GB will have you going for a very long time.

my dad is a landscape architect and his work takes up a fair amount of space, i also do a fair bit of 3D modeling and graphical work, also my *piracy cencorship* downloads and videos take up about half of it
