Theye exist, surely, but I doubt anyone on the boards here has need for such a huge harddrive.
At that point, an external RAID, etc. makes the most sense.

I agree, but some of the latest games are over 10gb minimal install, and just a few years ago they were 1/2gb. So if your a serious gamer, you may need a huge hard driveQuote:

In which case, as djr33 said, you'd use RAID, which is faster, cheaper and more flexible.
Maybe for games, but it seems people would just buy the PS3 and do that, for new stuff, rather than gaming on a PC.
That's a lot of space for a single game.
Then again... sure, get more space.
the only reason that seems logical to me (and is in fact why I have space) is video editing. Pictures, audio, and other data adds up to video, and takes a huge amount of space. But either of those (or other bits) can't ever take up a comperable space to video, so it's either that or nothing. Or, it seems, gaming.
Certainly for web design, a 100gb hard drive would be absoultely enough.
RAID is faster? I thought it's just a mirror of a hard disk.Quote:

Thanks. Man, I should get another hard disk then.
Hmm... This looks nice.
RAID is a special system... complex. I really don't know any more about it than what I said/guessed above, but I do know that just a second drive wouldn't allow you to do that, unless it was raid enabled. I believe that the 1TB is RAID enabled, though.
im not gonna start a new thread for this question but:
is there a named word after zotzabyte i just learned that word today because i got curios if there was anything after yottabyte??
