Unless you're doing a ton of video or something that kind of space is larger than you're likely to use any time soon. I just replaced an 80GB external drive on my system at the house with a 640GB unit - backed up all four of my systems there and barely made a dent in it. I come from the days before there WERE hard drives in PC's you understand. My first hard drive was a 10MB Rodime - to me that was ACRES of space. I developed a LOT of code on that old IBM PC. -CB :D

True. Just think 15 even 10 years ago a GB was A LOT of space. Now its almost nothing. I would have never thought back in the 90s that there would be affordable terabyte HDs out in the next decade.
