Finally, I'll be able to access to all of my data in a single computer:thumbsup

Very nice. That's just what I need, more space for me to save shit and forget about it for years. Heh heh

U could always use the search function. LOL

Must suck having to format it.

"The gamer PC specialist later this year will launch a desktop PC with 16 hard drives" ...

... and it will be obsolete within 6 months... in a year or two everyone will be laughing at 500Gb drives.

8 terabytes is 8 terabyte no matter how many drives it takes:winkwink:

The gamers will love it

Yeah, but 16 of them will hold a hell of a lot more in 2 years time. :) I remember a story from the early-mid 90s about a radio station moving to an all digital format, using a couple of racks filled with hard drives. The total capacity was something like 10 gigabytes.

you can do that now.
just hook up a router with multiple network harddrives.
how deep are your pockets?

god damn!!

Way to go, all the stuff I burn to DVD I never touch again, it's getting to be quicker to download stuff afresh than search for it in a pile of disks...

What the hell are you going to do with that kind of storage?!?!

Can you imagine the defrag time?

Can't wait to get a computer that meets all my needs and is quick:)

people still do that?

I actually had to the other night. Hadn't done it in about a year. System came to a crawl. Defrag helped, lots.
