[OT] One terabyte drive

[sciguy]

It boggles the mind that it would take a hundred thousand 10 meg drives to
have the same storage as a 1TB drive. The day was not too far off when the
prospect of owning a TB of storage was almost inconceivable. And now,
they're even falling in price. 100GB drives are now considered small (or at
least middling), which is still 10,000x the capacity of a 10 MB drive.

I think if I add up all my drives in the house, I may have just over 1.5
TB.
