How much time will take to we star to use Terabyte instead of Gigabytes?In how much time will we sapeak in TERA as we speak today in GIGA?
I currently have around 6 TB of storage (and I'm looking to expand) 2TB drives are commercially available.
Large companies are talking "Peta" - "Tera" just isn't enough.
In terms of networking, the latest in-home is Gigabit but with multimedia taking up more and more bandwidth, we will inevitably need faster networks as well.
So, in a way, we're already "speaking Tera"In how much time will we sapeak in TERA as we speak today in GIGA?
Terabyte hard drives are fairly common these days, I have two 1.5TB drives, one I put in my server desktop (an older PC that I store all my music and movies on to stream over the network) and the other I put in an external hard drive enclosure where I back up everything from the first drive so that if one fails I have a good backup. There are and have been 2TB drives on the market for a while as well, but the cost per GB is best on the 1.5TB drives which have approached 1TB drives in price while providing an extra 500GB.
I got my drives for $120 for Christmas a year ago and $110 this last Christmas, though my first one was a faster model (which was the first 1.5TB drive to make it to market, also has a higher failure rate than most, which is why I got a different drive the second time).
