5 Terabyte Drives

[Dave2002]

Just noticed this 5 Terabyte drive - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-Expa...ywords=Seagate - which I figure is one of the largest capacity now commercially available. Could be good/useful, though if it goes belly up ....

A lot of data to lose in one go - if it's filled up!

I dare say they'll be selling 1 petabyte memory sticks quite soon.

If you apply an exponential law, similar to Moore's "Law" it'd come out at about 13 years if there's a doubling every year. If there's a doubling every 2 years it would take around 26 years.

WD make bare HDDs up to 6TBs.

And I'll still forget where I've left them!
