Yup, the mere thought of such a vast amount of storage space boggles the mind! If one even came close to filling it up, how (and to where) would you back it up?!

I remember when I was programming on a commodore 128...who could EVER use 128k of memory! I'm sure we will find things to fill the 1 TB of disk with...

Re: HD space a problem? How's a terabyte HD for your laptop sound?
Definitely - a 1Tb hard drive would probably be good for those who have large music/video collections they would like to store on their PC.  Other than that, though, I don't see much use for such a large hard drive.  I mean, can you imagine how many lines of code would be required take to fill 1Tb with applications (you could install all 24000+ applications from the repos several times over)Originally posted by muzicman0

For desktops, it's not crazy. Here's a nice half-Terabyte drive for a little over $100 USD:

Re: HD space a problem? How's a terabyte HD for your laptop sound?
LOL yeah I remember when the 1 gig hard drives came out and everyone thought there is no way we could use that much file space. I think the 1 Tgig is more for the main stream pre-loaded OS. With each version it takes more and more space just to hold and run the basic program.
Of course I want one. Be cause I keep a large music/video collection. Have to love my desktop MP3 player

Re: HD space a problem? How's a terabyte HD for your laptop sound?
Oh boy do I remember that! I also remember when I got my first 10MB drive - I think it was that large -at the time. Thought the same thing. I will never fill that up. I have a 500GB drive on this machine and its 60% full. That is my problem now. How do I back all that up!?? Couldn't imaging 1 TB. Although I guess I can have quite a few test partitionsOriginally posted by muzicman0!

Yeah, I'm old enough to remember being thrilled when I got a floppy disk drive for my Commodore 64. Yay, I was able to run a word processor on that baby!

Re: HD space a problem? How's a terabyte HD for your laptop sound?
I think maybe it was! The hexadecimal code was published in a magazine, and I entered it by hand, one byte at a time, until I had the whole thing. Of course, then I had to go buy a piece of crap dot matrix printer for the "system".Originally posted by MoonRise
