If it's a 1000mb drive that's only 1 gigabyte. I'm guessing you mean 1,000,000 mb, or 1,000 gb. and for you perfectionists a terrabyte is 1,099,511,627,776 bytes.

How long would it take the average user to use up that much? any guesses?

What if you corrupt the disk? To defrag it would take 3 months. Hopefully there will be a suitable tool that comes with it.

IF it's corrupt, defrag wouldn't do shit, you'd have to reformat, but at 1100 dollars, I'd rather wait a month to reformat, than buy a new one.

yeah i did mean to put gb but i am so unused to writing that at the end of that number i automatically put mb :doh:

tubaman

Oh well, shit happens. I don't know if I'd ever have reason to buy something this big, but of course the bigger the better, right?. Anywho, it would be usefull for programers, and video editors.

=/ it's hard to imagine any1 using even 500gb much less 1k gb
i have a lousy com so i keep my files to the minimun which is around 4-12 gb lol

spaceniggah

hehe and if i get a disk like that it will be filled with porn in one month. And if it breaks i will get so depressed id probably shoot myself. = not worth the risk, get 10 100gig disks instead =)

I can think of one place that uses over a terabyte on their web server....

terraserver.microsoft.com

I don't think the LaCie drive is for everyone. Like it's been said earlier... besides large companies, who could possibly need all that space.

Well someone who has maybe an AIW and rips millions of tv shows and movies to their hard drive might need it...of course that's if they can afford it

I bought the lacie big disk @ 500 GB and am now feeling slightly envious of those with a bigger disk. Oh well, such is life
