That’s almost enough room to store all the B&W photos of Obama’s mother posing naked for porn magazines.

My first hard drive had a capacity of 20 megs. We are rapidly approaching the point where an inexpensive external hard drive will store a million times that much.

A 64 bit address space is in excess of 180,000 terabytes.

At some point they're going to hit a physical limit on how much data they can fit on a 3.5" drive. But they're obviously not there yet. They smashed through 1 TB and they're still trucking.

What comes after tera?

Here’s what annoys me. They make a fine 1TB drive, but then limit the size of the node failure storage to 2000 entries or so. So the storage fills up, and the drive is useless. Even though it still have almost all of it’s capacity.

I’d hope that with the larger drives, they would increase the failed node storage size.
