Grrr...

I'm starting to think regular hard drives are no longer sufficient for my needs. I'm rapidly using up the brand new 30 gig hard drive on Shub-Niggurath. I wonder how much a 1TB hard drive would cost me....

I'm getting a whole new computer system in, probably two to three weeks... From what I was looking at for the specs, it has a 250G hard drive... Maybe that's more what you are looking for...

Last I looked, Western digital hard drives, 250gig were $99.

I might have to invest in that... for a decent amount of video files and a handful of games, it's almost a requirement. Program sizes are going through the roof.

For a 1TB hard drive, you're probably looking at about $800 and up, on average. However, you could potentially get four 250s for closer to half that price (more like $500).

Wish it worked that way all the time, then I could get 4 60 gig hard drives for about 50 dollars total. ;-)

*laughs*

I remember back in the day how big I thought my 60 MB hard drive was, now I have 7 GB left on my 120 GB drive and am going to have to start moving things over to DVD.:)

Heh, I remember when I first saw a 30 gig hard drive, I thought it would NEVER get filled up. I mean, I had a 9 gig hard drive at the time and I was barely using half of it, even WITH what I thought was a sizeable mp3 collection. (In retrospect, it wasn't.)

Hehehe...we won't go into my hard driveless VIC-20 with the cassette drive.:)

Hey, don't feel bad, the first computer I ever owned had a read-only hard drive just big enough to hold DOS and some other operating system stuff (not windows, something proprietary... computer was a Headstart Explorer.)
