xtry51 Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 People will buy them. Give us another year or two and dells will come with 1TB HDs. Think back to when 1GB drives came out. Everybody said the exact same thing about only servers using them.

If you want a really great quote about storage space: "640K ought to be enough for anybody." --Bill Gates, 1981 For more great quotes on technology and how short sighted people were click here... i was talking about NOW, at the price they're at. Sure, if in two years they're only $200 then people will get them, but NO they don't need 'em, nor ever will probably, unless they do massive video editing, or webhosting, like asus said. Even those that engage in illegal downloading of movies can always just burn them onto CDs. They don't need to have them stored on their computer. Speaking of strictly programs and games, i don't see anyone going close to 1TB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
