Just damn....
Indeed.
I cant say for certain I will ever need that much space, I mean I compute alot but I only take up 20 gb of my 100 gb drive. At my rate it will take me a thousand years to fill up 300tb's, of course I am sure MS will find away to make a browser bloated enough to fill up much of the space.

I'd still want two of 'em. A bit like a gas in a chem lab experiment, software tends to fill up any and all available space in a given volume.

Of course, Windows '10 will take 120Tb just for a basic install.

Hmmm ... the current fastest SATA 3.0 connections run at 300 Mbytes/sec. Dividing 300 TByte by 300 Mbyte means it would take 1,000,000 seconds, which is 11.57 days of full speed, non-stop reading to read that disk (probably slower to write, don't know) via SATA 3.0

Has there been a thread yet about the Intel concept CPU with 80 cores controlled by an onboard network router, supposedly promising 1 teraflop?

Seagate thinks that it will be able to create a 300 TB hard-drive by 2010.Great, but by 2011, mine will be full.

So when the price on those puppies comes down, does this mean my bank won't try to squeeze me when I need to access account data that's more than six months old?

Holy crap.
I can remeber back (not too long ago) when 1TB cost $1 million bucks.
Just Damn, indeedy.

I hate to admit it, but I remember when an 80mb hard drive was big, big news...

Good lordy!
The first computer I bought had a 40mb hard drive, and that was an expensive upgrade!
