Tweet

just when you got used to hard drives with hundreds of gigabytes(hundreds of billions of bytes)they do it:make one with a terabyte(a trillion bytes).yes,you can now get terabyte hard drive on a desktop pc.breaking the ice with a hitachi drive was dell,with "area 51" game-oriented machines from its alienware susidiary.the 1T option initially costs $500.in case you're wondreing,as printed text a terabyte would copy 100 million reams of paper,consuming some 50,000 trees.it is enough to hold 16 days(not hours) of dvd-quality video,or a million pictures or almost two years woth of continous music.you might not have any songs that last for two years,but that's irrelevant.
