Oh boy.

I could store every episode of Lassie and Leave It to Beaver on my HDD and never have to bother with those pesky backup DVDs.

Oh joy.

i could help save the earth w/ these instead of using countless cd-r's!

Alrite i dont see the use of having 500GB or 1TB..

well thats why Bram Cohen invented bit torrent: to fill up our hard drives faster than we can buy new ones.........

i have my comp for about 7 months now, when i buildt it i put a 200 GB disk in, later on i added another.......

now theyre getting pretty full AGAIN........ ima have to get externals soon



EDIT: those 1 TB disks will be hard to burn yourself, since the groves in the pits will require a much more precise laser.........
