    Good for them, but why bother?  Nobody uses 2tb in their home/office computer....  Even 500gb is too much in my eyes!  I mean, I have a 500, but I have ever only used 60gb max. (| (| (| (| (| (| (|

        Heck...i only use half of my 20GB HD  ;D

        But this would come in handy for say web servers/database servers.

        That is amazing.  I can't imagine ever using that much space.  My 80GB drive still has plenty of space for me.  I could create new MS Office files and accumulate more email every day for the rest of my life and not run out of space.

          That's me with my laptop.

          Don't really boot into XP on it though.


          regarding the hard drive- data storage and other industries often get larger hard drives before they reach the consumer market- for example the IBM 3380. This was the first 1GB drive ever created and it was not that long ago, it was created in 1980. :P The beast weighed 250 kg and cost US$142,000. Most consumers would require a layaway arrangement for that- or a second mortgage.
