I wonder when I can buy a terabyte of drive space for my PC? Perhaps it’s already out there for the home hack, just costly? Here I am with 200 Gb on my pc and my HDD has something in the order of 372 Mb of available space left 
. Ok slight exaggeration, my C:/ has that left. I have partitioned my HDD into 2. The other drive E:/ has 90 Gb left, but beginning to think that is not enough either – when that fills I will be up to 200 Gb ffs (use your netlingo translator for THAT!). There was a point in time where 10 Mb was considered capacity far too large for the home pc. I was researching the other day purchasing an 500 Gb external HDD for a pc at work for storing several large files 50 – 60 Gb each. The problem with using an external HDD at home for backing up stuff, but most of my space is being used by files that need to be stored and run from here…… hmmm a quandry
Guessing I am not the only one with this problem.
I have a slaved HDD sitting inside the box. My really old pc. A whopping 4 Gb. I remember thinking, omg, I will never fill that….
oh how far I have come – a 50 fold increase in capacity and yet it’s not enough. Did you know….this is the scary bit, that a terabyte is 1 TRILLION [*gulp*] bytes or 1000 Gb?
Just to blow your head away, check this out:
yotta [Y] = 10^24
zetta [Z] = 10^21
exa [E] = 10^18
peta [P] = 10^15
tera [T] = 10^12 almost here for the home pc
giga [G] = 10^9 (a billion or thousand million or a trillion bytes)
mega [M] = 10^6 (a million)
kilo [k] = 10^3 (a thousand)
wonder what the hell is after a yottabyte [Yb?] anyway? With how exponentially quick this stuff is moving, I think I will see a Yotta in my lifetime – hell, could use one now
