I just added a Seagate FreeAgent 1.5 TB, as in one and a half terabytes, or 1,536 gigabytes, external hard drive to our home setup. The plan is to finally organize our glut of digital “stuff”: photos, music, fonts, documents. There are also many non-digital photos that I’d like to scan and save. I wonder how long it will take us to fill up this drive?
Something that is probably amazing only to those of us who have been around a while (translate: old) is that this amount of storage cost less than $150. If you are old enough to remember a 20 MB (not a typo, I do mean MB as in megabyte) drive costing twice that, an inexpensive 1.5 TB drive is amazing indeed.
