Terabyte Life

When I built this demon of a computer, I upgraded from an old 80gb hard drive to a 640gb hard drive. I figured 640gb would be a reasonable amount to store my stuff, and would take quite a while to fill.

Well, when the space is there, you always seem to find a way to fill it. Within a few months, I was at the point of deleting files off my hard drive just to make space for new downloads or pictures. It was bad. So, I bought another terabyte (1000gb’s) to drop in my rig.

I’ve always trusted Western Digital as a solid drive manufacturer, and they’ve earned their reputation as one of the best. The 640gb is WD as well. Both drives belong to the Caviar Black series, running at a solid 7200rpm with monster 32mb caches, dropping read times well under 5ms. Enough nerd talk, here’s a picture.

I wonder how quickly I can fill this one?
