dribble......

I want a full SCSI chain of 400MB drives.....

I think a terrabyte(sp?) of storage would satisfy me for now...

You can only be satisfied for so long. By the next year you will be wondering where all that space went and be screaming for an 800GB drive>

What in the blazes am i going to do with that amount of HDD space..400GB!!
I already concider my 45GB Hdd(IBM) as too much. I have enough trouble filling it up (and remembering what i have dumped inside)
I even used Full install for all my games.

I mean why cant they miniaturize the hdd (and the other components as well) or make it more durable eg, shockproof? and once everthing is tiny and sturdy, we can even wear a pc!

Belwarrior, I have the same problem remembering where I put everything
But as for the space, when I bought my first HDD 12 years ago or so, it was a massive 40MB MFM drive (With using RLL I could get 60MB). I remember thinking I could see forever on that drive. Now it wouldn't even hold an operating system.

So bring on the 400GB drives, so I have space to store all this stuff I'm downloading off ADSL
