Terabyte!

Last night I got my first terabyte hard drive! I got a great deal on it too. As I was transferring all sorts of data to it (TV shows, movies, etc) I was thinking about the days when I was impressed with 20 GB hard drives.

In January 2000 we got a new Dell XPS 600 with a 20 GB hard drive, I couldn't even think of ways to fill it up. Its interesting to reflect back to see how things change as time goes on. I wonder what advances the computing world will make in storage over the next 7-8 years. I think SSD (solid state drives, flash memory) will make an signifcant impact on the mobile computing world, as soon as prices drop.
