Just added a 3TB hard disk drive to my desktop computer...which takes the total online storage attached to it over the 20 terabyte mark. There are around 15 other drives that are not normally plugged in and act as backups. This is just crazy amounts of storage...considering my very first hard disk drive had a capacity of 10 megabytes and cost more than I would like to commit to writing. That 'huge' drive was to replace one of the dual floppy disk drives on an Apricot XI PC and be home to the operating system, leaving the floppy drive free for applications...what a beautiful machine that was.
I really do need to re-evaluate my current storage requirements and RAID setup on my desktop!
