i.e. installing duke nukem 3d was once probably like 30 mb of my 500 mb drive. | |

Will probably be sold as one million mb, which works out less than either 1024Gb or 1000Gb or indeed 1048576Mb which it actually should be. | |

How big is a TB? 1024 GB? | |

I think the acronym is OK, just some of the crap implementations can be problematic :lol: | |

RAID is the most unreliable piece of crap ever. Unless you get a proper RAID controller. I have scrapped my setup :mad: | |

isnt a 1TB drive like putting all eggs in one basket? if it goes you loose the lot? (unless backed up) | |

Ah right -- I've seen a couple of Abit boards with 9 (using multiple controllers)... | |

i agree Tim, solid state drives are the future. i said 6TB internally because i think the most sata connectors on one mobo was 6, not including e-sata | |

Why only 6TB internally? Just depends on how many SATA ports and bays :boggle: | |

but the psu and bigger HD are hardly ground breaking too they are just the current technology advanced a bit. OK its the 1TB mark but its really means no more than the 1.1TB barrior. | |

Looks like the cell boys have managed to produce a chip with twice the speed and a smaller die size. | |

I paid similar money for a 3Gb in 1996. Ten years later I would have filled that in half a days photography. | |

Amazing to think not too many years ago we were a waiting for a 1GB drive and that seemed an enormous amount of space :) | |

Cheap as well - $400 retail for the drive. | |
