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.

I wonder how much storage space an hour of uncompressed, high-definition holographic video would take up...

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

Somebody do the math: how many HD-DVD films will that hold?

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?

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!
