Nice, but imo pretty pointless for consumers. I'm struggling to fill 1Tb let alone 10 lol. But as hd videos are becoming more mainstream htpc's would benefit from a huge liberary. Imagine backing it up. Would have to do mirror raid.

I can fill a 750gb hdd in about a month these days.... This could be just what I need, but backing all of this up looks like it could be a long process. Some good tech going on, be nice to see the results when it finally hits the market...

Pr0nography

I don't see this ruling the roost in 5-10 years time for general users but I can see large businessess and organisations using this.

SSD will become the norm if prices continue falling.

750gb is nothing, and i cant discuss it on here...but having 21mb broadband helps things fill up quickly.

I think ssd's should be the norm for normal consumer use. Or at least i can see them fastly becoming more used in the not so near future with improvement always being made...

Arghh be you a pirate matey, (dammit why isn't there a smiley with an eye patch lol.)

I can see in the future people having one of these for their storage and then an SSD for games and OS.

Easy for me aswell. 10TB would be excellent.. won't need to worry about storage for ages.. it's annoying having to manage what you want to keep and delete.. when you can just keep it all... MUAHAHA!

This was I can install all revisions of Ubuntu, Windows and Mac. I feel a win win situation.
