- goostoff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Perfect for backing up your new fangled HD-DVD's and Blu-ray discs.
- MiDri, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Mine only holds 64mb... Luckily I can shove like 20 2gb SD cards in my mouth.
- venicerocco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Oh please... "Nobody will ever need more than 640 TB!"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Pics or it didn't happen. But will it Blend? Random Pr0n Comment! What will Kevin Rose think? Pwnered!!1!
Useless Digg Comment End. - perkonis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You missed In Soviet Russia peta bytes you and I for one welcome our new storage overlords overlords. But I think you covered the rest nicely.
- oskite, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8I ate some petabytes earlier. Put some zatar seasoning and olive oil on them, popped 'em in the toaster... yummy.
- bethebryant, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6A few more terabytes and I can back up my porn collection
- flag8, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Why is everything "Codename: Broadway" now?
- Trihedralguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I dunno - I'm thinking a company like Google or something could sooner or later need something like that :)
Maybe even digg to hold all of our comments :P - chedabob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Whats the deal with massive hard drives? I want loads of data, yeah, but I want to be able to generate that data fast. Roll on terahertz.
- musntSurfatWork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wake me up when we see some yottabyte photonic storage devices, that can be stored and powered by my new ice crushing fridge.

I don't think you're getting the joke.
He's making a parody on Bill Gate's famous old comment about RAM which is often quoted "Nobody will ever need more than 640KB of RAM" although it is mostly taken out of context. - TrevorBradley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I got myself 4x 320GB HDs and built myself a sweet 0.9TB Linux software raid-5 server this past year. I figured I desperately needed the space and wanted to move away from having files thrown on machines all over the house.
After two months, it's already full. I guess it doesn't help to have a PVR card in the machine.
It doesn't matter what the storage size is... after half a year, the drive will be full. You'll see. - Smoothie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Really? Any chance of a source?
- sanman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1InPhase is on the way too, people!

Holographic storage is coming to the marketplace. The big customers have now already started buying them. In a few years, it will become affordable to the masses.
Woohoo! - Dihuko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Considering the human brain can approximately hold 10 TB of information.....
- terrablebyte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I swear I've read that the human brain can store around 12 exabytes of information. Can't cite a source though. :-/
- 1021, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@Midiri
I can take those new-fangled Micro-SD cards!! Those things aren't even the size of my fingernail. I'll manage to fit 50 2 GB MicroSD!!
Beat that! - systemghost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Beefy. Just hope the floors in your datacenter are flat otherwise you'll end up flat.
- derkaas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The brain does not represent and thus does not store information at all like a digital computer. It's makes more sense to measure power in "bowls of spaghetti" than talk about how many binary bits of information a human brain can store in memory, because even if such a number could be determined, it would be meaningless (e.g. does the brain store images as bitmaps and sounds as wave files sampled at 44.1kHz? obviously not, so what's the point of talking about how many bits it can hold?)
- 1021, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You go to Best Buy? Ever heard of the internet? USE IT!
- Ascus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1When does Best Buy get it in stock?
- lordcutter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1had to digg your comment because I was about to write the same thing, lets hope we can all laugh at a mere 640TB someday :-)
- gregpc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Because "Codename: INSERT INAPPROPRIATE TOILET HUMOR HERE" was already taken?
- SmartITGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0...That's almost enough space to install Microsoft's next version of Windows...
We think that's cool now ...In 50 years that amount of data will probably fit on the head of a pin. - InsaneGeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@anonym41414
0+1 typically to a different *continent*??? I'm not quite sure you understand the concept of speed of light. Maybe synchronously replicated to the cache in a completely separate array upto ~22km away, but not in the same raid group and not across any type of continental distances. (async yes, sync no) - PDubNYC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0whoooooooshhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
- funkspiel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Because YOURMOM was taken?
- RuthlessPirate, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3You could maybe fit a small percentage of all the pr0n on the internet on one of these.
- PDubNYC, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0@1021
Ever heard of a sense of humor? USE IT!! - anonym41414, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1HDS storage arrays are usually set up in complex RAID 0+1 configurations. I say complex because typically one mirror of the pair will be on a different continent.
Your jokes about consumer computer parts are not applicable here.
/not funny - jgc7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1If this thing is built with the hitachi/ibm deathstar drives, you better buy two of the these and configure in RAID 1.

/joke - CraigB12, on 10/12/2007, -14/+6LOL they should have bundled one of these with the PS3
