I mean, holy s***! EIGHT TERABYTES!

Recently I bought what I call my "auxiliary memory," a wallet-sized 1 terabyte memory unit.

I thought it was great, even for the price, $50.

I was just looking through a flyer from "Best Buy," and saw...

An eight terabyte hard drive for $170.

I mean, what's next?

When I bought my first hard drive, a 40 MB behemoth, it cost $500 and had to be partitioned into two so DOS 3.3 could see all of it!

Right now I have 8 TB hard drive space on my computer, but that is over three drives. I might just want to get that 8 TB drive, pull out the 3 TB and 4 TB drives and save some space in my case. I could get some external enclosures and use the older drives as external backups!
