That’s a lot of pr0n.
I remember my first hard drive was 200 megs.
I’ll buy Western Digital. Seagate and Maxtor drives never seemed to last as long.
Maybe Seagate should announce that they’re developing a hard drive that will last longer than 6 months.
I suppose the question needs to be asked: why are there still hard drives?

Then storage
And Lastly
Three of these will be nice in my media server. I’ll need three more for the backup. LOL.
This Toshiba laptop has a 250 GB drive, I've had it for over 3.5 years, saved a ton of stuff, videos and a couple hundred music albums and have only managed to use up 70 gigs of storage.
Also grew fond of playing Duke Nukem, then and now.
Better yet maybe I'll get just get something like this.
Why would any consumer or even a small business want or need a 6TB hard drive? Supersized hard drives take longer to back-up, restore, wipe, and maintain (i.e., defrag, scandisk, etc.). And even if I had enough photos, music, videos, and other files to file a 6TB hard drive, I wouldn’t want all that important data on one disk at the risk of a hard drive failure. Yes, I realize that these issues can be mitigated by partitioning the hard drive, but this is far beyond the expertise of most consumers and I have had entire hard drives fail notwithstanding partitions. Seems to me that the better approach is to have multiple smaller hard drives — one for the OS and programs, one for data and media files, and one for backing up the other two.
I can remember getting a 300 MB drive for $300. And the first time I saw the speed of the dir command on a 386 I couldn’t believe it.
LOL, but will it work?
I just popped in my fourth HD.
I now have 9.5TB of storage.
(I have a LOT of videogames)
I bought my first hard drive in 1991. It was 80 MB. I paid extra to upgrade from the then-standard 40 MB.
I didn’t fill that drive up until 1995.
Today, it wouldn’t hold an album’s worth of MP3s.
I remember sitting at my desk at home in 1986 after just unpacking and setting up my new computer. It was a DOS-based XT clone with 2 5-1/4 inch floppy drives, a 20 meg hard drive and an Epson LQ1500 dot-matrix printer attached. I had the most powerful system of anybody I knew and distinctly remember sitting there self-satisfied and confident in the knowledge that I would never need to buy another piece of computer equipment in my lifetime.
Which reminds me, when I was six I was diagnosed with TB.
But seriously folks, 6TB just in time when Microsoft is about to erect its new CEO who’ll get right to work filling that space up with bloatware!
