That is great news! I thought my 8gb Pen Drive was a lot. I'm excited to see this on sale although I imagine it will be a while before it is out (and then it will be extremely pricey). I was trying to remember the new hard drive name that is based on the same type of technology as pen drives. Do you know what it is called?

Nothing like seeing 500TB of data get lost because your drive failed.

HEHE - I've seen 32Gb drives, but even that's inaccessible to the average shelf-stacker like me.

That is why you make sevral backups of all of your work ( i need to re back up all my stuff that i was using in my web tool box, i lost both of my storage devices i had it on :eek: )

OMG! that would be awsome. I want one just so i can say I have one. I thought it was cool having my 1 TB hard drive, a 500 TB anything would make me happy for a long time!

while these are unrealistic there are 128 gb pen drives available now, and terabyte externals that are easy to transport. I just bought a terabyte external for $180.

Well, 500TB is way too much, even for a PC, for an mp3 it's outrageous, that would last you for like your life x2, and you still would have not listened to all the music on it.. lol

Yeah...this is, in some ways, a bad development. When the cost per byte falls below the demand for consumer storage space (not corporate,) these companies are going to start losing money. Eventually, the drives will be larger then what any one person would use, and they won't purchase these new drives.

Simply not true. Have you not noticed that the larger the drives, the more bloated and longer it takes to load the content. Then we see new computers that are faster and more capable of handling this huge content and then we see bigger drives to store more of this oversized content.....its a never ending cycle.
