Took 2 years to go from 360GB to 400GB. Methinks we're hitting the physical electromagnetic storage barrier.

I think it's LaCie that's had a 500 Gig out for over a year now. I got 2-250's last December for well under $1.00 per Gig.

That would be an IBM drive (Deskstar) under the Hitachi name. I wonder if they figured out what made the IBM drives fail?

...more than 6,500 hours of digital music That's 3/4ths of a year.

Right before the Pentium class computers came out, in early 94, I got a "screaming fast system". A 486/DX66 with 400MB hard drive. So, we have gone from 400MB HD to 400GB in exactly 10 years. That isn't too shabby. At this rate, we who are still around in 2014 can probably expect to be able to store an absolutely amazing amount of stuff.
My prediction is that many of us will have multiple cameras continuously storing video of our house, car, office, kid's school non stop. We will be creating our own biographies in a sense.

A new, whopping 400-gigabyte hard drive from Hitachi Global Storage Technologies can store up to 400 hours of standard television programming, 45 hours of high-definition programming or more than 6,500 hours of digital music. I question AP's source for the info. DV takes about 5 minutes per GB, which is about 12GB per hour. Standard definition uncompressed video takes about 90GB per hour.

"predicts the number of households with DVRs will increase to nearly 25 million by 2007, from about 3 million today"
I'm doing my part.

Does anyone remember the first Mac? IT HAD NO HARD DRIVE. Everytime you wanted to do something, you had to insert the FLOPPY DISK which housed the ENTIRE operating system. Yikes, it was the mid 1980's.

Cripes! I wish they had kept it a secret! Now that Redmond, WA company, what's its name, will surely find a way to fill it up with its bloatware. More idiotic features in WORD 2005 to come.
