So, today I picked up an internal terabyte hard drive for my server since the main drive was running out of space. Oh, there was 30G of space left to be sure, but that's cutting it close these days. So, at CompUSA, 1,000,000,000,000 bytes of storage was only $90. I remember picking up a one gig hard drive for several hundred dollars 15 years ago.
So, now I have a Tb external drive, a Tb internal drive, plus almost a Tb spread amongst the other computers in the house. Nearly 3 whole terabytes of storage. Most people cannot comprehend that kind of storage space so here is a quick chart to help
So, as you can see, it's a LOT of data.
I'll be using it for MP3s (still working on getting all my CDs converted), family photos, and snapshots of my virtual servers.
