However if we wait awhile they will probably be fifty bucks at DSE :banana |

| 855050 | 2010-02-04 06:58:00 | What I can't figure out is what you guys use all this storage for. I automatically acquire about 100 MB of scientific data every day, but a 250 GB drive has lasted me for years, and before the HDD is full, it'll be time to buy a new machine. |

| 855051 | 2010-02-04 07:14:00 | What I can't figure out is what you guys use all this storage for. Downloading and/or recording movies probably. I don't download but do record TV sometimes and also put a few old home video tapes on the PC to be edited. That sort of thing gobbles up HDD space like a V8 sucks fuel. And if you are a pseudo Japanese tourist like me the photo folders blow out pretty darn quickly. :blush: |

And are you the same guys that need super-fast broadband? The ones that are justifying a multi-billion dollar development by the Govt? Just to download more movies and play games? Pray tell me, how this is going to make a huge difference to our prosperity? |

You may not have noticed but you can buy a TV Tuner and connect your computer to that and record to your hearts content which for some reason requires hard drive space. |
