Post by: lolfighter on December 15, 2004, 03:59:09 AM: Just like gmail, this offer counts on not everyone actually making use of their gigabyte. Chances are that gmail doesn't HAVE a gig of storage per account. But since email accounts hardly fill up over night, they can always start adding in the necessary disks if it gets tight.

You could download half the porn on the internet with that much harddrive space, you can do your worst, but you will never fill an one terabyte acount with email. Its almost impossible to even fill a one gig account unless you use it for many functions it wasn't designed for. Even sending tonnes and tonnes of pictures back and forth on Gmail, I've only used 7 percent.

I read a respectible PC mag that predicted tetrabyte hard-drives by 2010.

Post by: That Annoying Kid on December 17, 2004, 01:35:07 PM: I'll belive it

10 years ago the average space on a HDD was measured in MB, go figure.

Tetra byte is 1000 terabytes?

O.o

I don't think so... computer technology has been slowing down a fair bit in the past couple years... Count on seeing multible terabyte drives by 2010 (you can already buy single tera drives, although they aren't your standard desktop format) but I wouldn't expect that kind of storage to be nessicary in the PC market for a little while. Remember, programers are still coding for as much efficiancy as possible whenever they can.

proof that a terabyte is nowhere near infinite:
http://www.sun.com/storage/tape/l8500/index.xml (http://www.sun.com/storage/tape/l8500/index.xml) <-- stores 1.1 PETAbytes, that's ~1300TB
http://www.techworld.com/news/index.cfm?fu...ews&NewsID=1176 (http://www.techworld.com/news/index.cfm?fuseaction=displaynews&NewsID=1176) <-- terabyte harddrives? no, 2.5TB of RAM baby

Post by: lolfighter on December 18, 2004, 09:21:00 AM: Yeah, wth is a tetrabyte? I thought the next step above terra was peta...
