Exactly... those are the only people require this much big drive. But I think there are quite a few games as well, which is very big nd requires lot of space...

I have never used Hitatchi HDD's.....nd never heard much about them....
 
Once i upgraded my computer i might get one of these, my 250gb hdd is full, but 116gb of programs got deleted so i got plenty of space for now..

1TB is insane, i rekon you wouldent ever need to upgrade your hdd untill the next best tech.

There really aint any games that require anyhting like that lol, the biggest game i have got is UT2K4 with its mods, it takes up 10GB.
 
I dnt play so many games but long time ago...around in 2003, I saw a game, cant remember the name of it. It was on 3cds and took around 3GB of space.... Thats how I thought that there must be many more games which takes a hell lot of space....

Thats the same as a game from say 2000 on an 80gb drive! Back then 15gb was more than enough. It kind of says how much of an overkill this drive is.

To be honest I get worried storing loads of data on one drive. Eggs n baskets imo.
 
my friend and his dad, have like two servers, or more like desktops that act like media servers. They have something like a couple or so TB's of movies and music and whatever else. I think its completely usefull. Although a raid would be a really good idea, as thats a lot of information to loose at one time
 
well so much for IBM saying people would never need a HDD larger than 40Mb[ot]when they first introduced the first PC's[/ot]
 
I installed windows vista on a 13gb partition, only had 6gb free, shows that OS's are getting bigger, at least from MS, and programs are too :P

Ironically, Hitatchi took over IBM's hard drive division...

Unlike Seagate's CEO, I haven't heard Hitatchi's saying he helps people watch porn.
