October 10, 20214 yr Traditional HD storage device sizes have been taking a recent jump, fortuitously, just in time for the enormous amounts of data people are being asked to store. But how much storage is "Enough", and how much is "Too much?" Especially as the prices of these huge new drives drop. Would you buy one of these newer super-drives?

October 11, 20214 yr Nope. Have no need for such a huge amount of storage. And they are mechanical drives, so susceptible to damage. If someone needs that much storage fair enough, but for me HDD's seem like outdated tech these days.
