[Computer Hope Admin]

Great price on a HDD if someone's looking for a new hard drive.

That is a great price but, even if I was looking for a hard drive, I have absolutely no need for one that size.  Still, that deal shows how low the cost of disk space has become; that's 33 cents/Gig!

I wonder how that HDD has its disk platter setup

250GB per disk platter, possible?

Oooh...I so know what I want for my birthday...

Well, Chris, what would you do with 3/4 of a Terabyte?

Show it off, of course.  Ha.

Although I don't know if I could fill up that much space (I still have 184 GB left of my original 320...or 293), it would still be really nice knowing that I had all of that extra space.  And it's probably going to be a long time before I get another computer.  It took me maybe four months to fill up about half of my current HDD, so an extra drive of that size could be handy.  500 GB would probably be sufficient, but you never know.
