Bigger optical drives on the way

Wow that would be enough music for constant listening for maybe a decade.  I don't think i like that many songs.

You could use .flac or some other lossless format, that would bring it down to maybe 2 years listening...

wow !

My first PC was a PC-XT with 640K of RAM and a 32 MB hard drive. Last month I bought an external 320 GB hard drive. That is ten thousand times bigger. Face it, storage gets bigger and cheaper.

and your point is?  so what 320 gig hd,   its the normal now?

and your point is?

You can't read English too well, can you?

My point was in answer to someone who said "I can't imagine what a 1 TB pen drive could be used for". I was pointing out that since my first PC storage sizes had gone up 10,000 times.

Got it now?

I got that 

I would imagine a 1TB disk or HD would be less reliable than a 200GB one...

I still don't see the reason why we need 1000GB CD's.

Well, I've got a 320 GB hard drive and a 160 GB one. That's roughly half a terabyte. I only need to double my storage and I will have a terabyte of storage. To back it all up onto one disk would be so handy. Add a few dozen HD movies and stuff, I'll start needing a second disk!

Storage always expands to more than people think they will ever need. Always. It has been that way since the 1960s.

Yeah, I did say it would be great for backing up in an earlier post.

Too complex for me to go into that, very tired.
